TimeCarver: Focus in Stone

TimeCarver turns your focus into sculpture. Set a length and stay with it. Minute by minute, a raw block of stone is carved into a work of art, and what it becomes stays a secret until the very end.

HOW IT WORKS
- Choose a stone and a length, from 1 minute to 3 hours
- As the minutes pass, the chisel works the block from rough-out to fine detail
- When time is up, the finished work is unveiled on its plinth
- Short sessions reveal studies; long ones, masterworks

STAY WITH IT
- Soft Crack: your apps stay open, but leave TimeCarver for more than 10 seconds and the stone cracks, with another crack for every further minute away. Locking your screen is always fine.
- Hard Lock (Patron): TimeCarver locks the apps you choose until the work is finished, or until you abandon the block.
