baton. - the handoff timer

The hardest part isn't focusing. It's starting again.

baton. asks you to leave exactly one line when a session ends:
"The first thing to do when I'm back."

Next time you open the app, that line fills the screen instead of a timer.

■ For you if

· You lose ten minutes to "where was I?" every time you sit back down
· You've measured focus time, but starting again was always the hard part
· You're tired of to-do backlogs and streak pressure


■ How baton. works

· Baton — the one handoff line you always leave when a session ends
· Baton time — not total focus time, but how long it takes to get back to work
· Tracks — a separate baton for each lane: work, a side project, study (Full Track)
· Lock screen and home widgets — your last baton is always in view
· Live Activity — a running session on your lock screen and Dynamic Island


■ What's not here

No to-do lists, no streaks, no cheering notifications, no "come back" pushes.
No exclamation marks. No scolding. Time is shown honestly, and that's all.


■ Privacy

No account, no server. Every record stays on your device.
No data is collected.


■ Free and Full Track

Batons, the timer, widgets, and Live Activity are all free.
Full Track (a one-time purchase, not a subscription) opens multiple tracks,
your full history, themes and app icons, and every feature still to come.


Hemingway used to stop mid-sentence to end his day. We made an app out of that one idea.
