FLIP — Focus Timer

The hardest part of any task is starting. The 2-minute rule says: just commit to two minutes — then decide whether to keep going. Most of the time, once you've started, you'll keep working far longer.

FLIP is a single-screen timer built around that idea.

HOW IT WORKS

• Tap once to start a 2-minute kickoff timer.
• When 2 minutes are up, flip your phone face-down to commit to a 20-minute deep-work block.
• When deep work ends, turn your phone sideways to take a 5-minute break.
• Hold anywhere to cancel — a segmented bar fills with synchronized haptics so the gesture is unmistakable.

That's it. No accounts, no settings, no menus.

DESIGNED FOR FOCUS

• Single-screen interface with a retro-digital typeface and edge-to-edge color fill that grows with the timer
• Haptic feedback on every state change so you don't have to look at the screen
• Lock-screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity — keep the countdown visible without unlocking your phone
• A short chime when each phase ends so you can put the phone down and focus

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• 100% on-device. No accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no servers.
• No data collection. The privacy policy fits on one page.

WHO IT'S FOR

• People who reach for their phone instead of starting a task
• Knowledge workers running Pomodoro-like sessions
• Students looking for a low-friction focus timer
• Anyone who wants the smallest possible app between them and beginning a task

Beat procrastination by promising yourself two minutes. Then flip the phone.
