Hey Product Hunt 👋 Every focus timer I tried felt the same: a number counting down. Nothing about it made me want to start. So I built the start into a ritual — you strike a match against the box, feel it catch through haptics, and then you're committed. The match is the timer. A few things I got obsessive about: 🔥 The flame is a real 3D object with its own flicker, not a looping animation. The countdown fades away after a while so only the fire is left. 📵 Match Block: while the match burns, the apps you choose are locked away with Screen Time. Which apps you pick never leaves your phone. 🌙 Ten night scenes with their own ambience — snowfield, night rain, fireflies, night sakura. Snow falls, petals swirl, sometimes a shooting star. 💨 To stop early you blow into the mic and the flame actually goes out. One habit = one match, so the box empties as your effort stacks up, and the vintage matchbox labels are there to collect. Solo build. Does a ritual make you start, or would you rather just hit a button?
