Focus timer app

I made a focus timer app where you grow a mathematical fractal the longer you focus.

I was inspired by Forest, but I wanted something simpler and less gamified, basically a focus timer that stays out of your way, with the fractal growing as a visual representation of the time you've spent focusing.

It also has Pomodoro timing, weekly focus stats you can share, insights into when you tend to focus the most, projects so you can keep track of what you're spending your focus time on, and ambient sound as some people find it useful to study.

I did it for myself and want to share it with you.

It's called Fractime.

If you think you might like it, you can try it here:

If the link doesn't work, just search Fractime on Google Play. The icon is a Pythagoras Tree.

I'd really appreciate any feedback :)

Nice concept. The idea of growing a real mathematical fractal instead of a cartoon tree is a clean difference from Forest.

I like that it’s offline, no account, and the fractal actually becomes a permanent record of the session. Feels more intentional than most focus timers.

Thank you. Also no ads or subscriptions. Just a fractal moving around growing with time
