About this app

DeepBlocks is a calm timer for focus and breaks. Instead of starting a new timer every few minutes,
you start a routine: a chain of timed steps that hands off to the next one on its own.

A rail across the screen shows the whole routine at a glance: what is finished, what you are on now,
and what comes next. A large countdown sits above it, easy to read from across the desk.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick a routine and tap Start. When a step ends, the next one begins automatically and you are
alerted. Pause, resume or skip whenever you need to. When the last step is done, you get a short
summary of the session.

BUILT-IN ROUTINES
• Classic: the familiar 25-minute focus and 5-minute break cycle, with a longer break after the last
session. You can change the focus, short-break and long-break lengths, and how many sessions come
before the long break.
• Deep Work: three 50-minute focus blocks with 10-minute breaks and a longer final break, for work
that needs sustained concentration.
• Short Sprints: four quick 15-minute bursts with 3-minute breaks, for small tasks or low-energy
days.

WHAT YOU GET
• Routines that run themselves, step after step
• A rail that shows your whole session, not just the current minute
• Alerts when each step ends, even with the screen locked
• Picks up where you left off if you close the app or restart your phone
• A calm, dark design with large, readable numbers
• Change the Classic routine to suit how you work

ALERTS
DeepBlocks tells you when a step ends with a notification. On Android 14 and later, you can allow
exact alarms in Settings so alerts arrive on the second. Without that permission the timer still runs
and alerts still arrive, but they can be a few minutes late. The app shows a button in Settings to
turn this on.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads and no tracking. DeepBlocks has no internet access, so nothing you do in the app
leaves your device. Your settings and session history stay on your phone.

Made for deep work, study sessions, writing, coding, reading, workouts and anything else that goes
better in focused blocks.
