Hi, I'm Luis, and Kiri is my one-person project.

Kiri launched here in February as a free web timer. Since then it has grown into what I wanted in the first place: a focus timer and task list that lives on the laptop, so the phone can stay in another room.

What it does now:

Pick a task and a length (25, 50, 90 or anything from 5 to 120 minutes) and press Start. The countdown is in the tab title, with a chime at the end.
A task list with topics and subtasks, each task estimated in 25-minute blocks called Kiris. Blocks are saved automatically against their task, and a Progress page shows a year calendar and your streak.
Ten background sounds in the same tab. The nature and café sounds are mixed from field recordings I chose by ear, with long crossfades and a second quieter layer; brown, pink and white noise are generated.
New-tab extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and a Windows app in the Microsoft Store.

You can run a block on the homepage without an account. A free account keeps the timer, rain and brown noise, your streak and the last 30 days of history, and signing up gives you 14 days of everything with no card. The rest (all ten sounds, binaural beats, the year calendar and full history) is €39 once (Founding price for the first 500 licences, then €49), with a 30-day refund and no subscription.

I'd like to know what stopped you, if anything, from finishing your first block.

Luis
