Current is a focus timer for iPhone and Apple Watch that turns time into something you feel rather than watch. Based on calm technology, it expresses time through color, motion and haptics. A green to red gradient wave that shifts and pulses as your session progresses. You always know where you are without breaking your focus. Commit 5, 15 or 30 minutes to what's in front of you. Finish and decide what's next. Not a system, no dashboards. For distractible minds who find timers stressful.
I have made the app free for a limited time.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Chad!
I use timers to help stay focused and productive. Many focus apps are part of a system, or have analytics for everything. I would usually abandon the app because when you're struggling to focus, you don't have much to spare. I was spending my time tweaking the tool, not using it to my advantage.
I developed Current as a solution to this problem.
My hope is this tool can help others out there that are looking for a simple, effective and different approach. Allowing them to be focused and productive as well.
I would love to hear your feedback! What are some ways you use technology to stay focused?
I love the idea! When I'm doing intense workouts for time, I have to glance at the timer and read the numbers to see how much longer I need to suffer. This requires mental processing, but it also requires me to be able to focus on the numbers, which is sometimes difficult if I'm moving (plus, I don't wear my glasses while I'm working out).
This actually removes some mental processing required and would be much easier to use during workouts. I can just glance at and know how close I am to the end without having to read numbers. Simple, super creative idea
@marcdipaolo Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad it helps you!
