Campfire—30 minute focus timer - Minimal, private and ad-free.

Campfire is a simple 30-minute focus timer. It’s intentionally designed to keep you present. The session continues while your phone is locked, but ends if you leave the app. Tap to light a campfire. Stay with the app or lock your screen. You'll hear a bell when the fire goes out and the session ends. We don’t track you. We don’t sell anything. - No ads - No gamification - No paywalls - No data collected If you want to support the product, you can make an (optional) in-app donation.

I built Campfire because I wanted a focus timer that feels like calming and straightforward, not a productivity system you have to “keep up with”. A lot of focus apps end up turning focus into a new kind of hustle — streak pressure, unlocks, grind loops and eventually paywalls everywhere. It starts feeling like: “don’t break the streak… earn the reward… keep the habit alive…” And ironically that stress is the exact opposite of the calm presence you need to do good work. So I wanted to build something simpler: a quiet 30-minute container you can step into. The campfire + night sky + little shooting star moments are there on purpose as a tiny touch of warmth. Something that feels alive, a little meditative and honestly… nice to look at. Like you’re sitting by a fire for a while, even if you’re just doing boring tasks. No streaks. No pressure. No manipulative mechanics. Just a calm timer that helps you start, stay and stop. If you try it, I’d love your feedback — especially on what would make it feel even more peaceful ✨🔥
