Everything in TimeTaps.

A full focus and planning toolkit designed for the ADHD brain: visual timers, focus sprints, gentle breaks, streaks, a companion that grows with you, and private AI that helps you start. The core app is free, forever. Pro adds the extras when you are ready.

Focus and timers

Make time something you can feel.

Visual time, short sprints, and gentle support so starting and stopping stop being a guess.

Visual Timer

A big countdown and an animated progress ring keep the passing of time tangible, even when you are deep in hyperfocus and the clock would normally disappear.

Free

Focus Sprints

Pomodoro-style sessions, 24 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break by default, with a longer 20-minute break after every four sprints. Adjust focus anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.

Free

Body Doubling

A simulated focus-presence companion that sits alongside you while you work, so you get the felt sense of someone nearby without needing to schedule another person.

Free

Focus Lock

Stay on the timer when willpower runs low. Choose a soft lock for a gentle nudge or a hardened lock for stronger guardrails while a sprint is running.

Pro
Planning and tasks

Turn the overwhelming into the doable.

Break big things into small steps, keep due dates visible, and let private AI help you start.

Planner and Steps

Capture tasks, add subtasks, and read urgency at a glance. A long to-do list becomes a short list of small, finishable steps you can actually pick up.

Free

Student Mode

A planner built for school life. Track classes and due dates in one place so coursework stays organized without the night-before panic spiral.

Free

Calendar and Reminders

Two-way sync with Apple Calendar and one-way export to Apple Reminders. You choose exactly what syncs, so nothing moves without your say-so.

Free

AI Task Breakdown

Turn one big, vague task into a few small steps. On iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence it runs fully on-device, with no API key and nothing leaving your phone. On other devices, bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key.

Pro

Smart Scheduling

Learns your peak focus window from your own history and suggests when to start, so you can plan demanding work for the part of the day your brain shows up best.

Pro
Motivation and momentum

A focus buddy, not a boss.

Encouragement that celebrates progress instead of pushing guilt, so showing up feels good.

Hamster Companion

A free companion that evolves alongside your focus habits, with six animations and five evolution stages. It cheers your sprints rather than scolding your slip-ups.

Free

Carrots and Pet Shop

Earn carrots as you focus, then spend them in the pet shop on hats, toys, and cozy homes. A small, satisfying reward loop that never asks for your wallet.

Free

Streaks and Streak Shield

Build a daily focus streak with milestones at 7, 14, and 30 days. A Streak Shield bridges one missed day, and free users can earn one with carrots so a single off-day never wipes your progress.

Free

Achievements

Fifteen achievements mark the moments that matter, from your first sprint to long-running habits. Small celebrations that recognize effort, not perfection.

Free
Insight and sharing

See your patterns, gently.

Understand how your focus really works, with trends that inform rather than shame.

Focus Insights

Heatmaps show when you focus best, and correlation views connect your mood, energy, and focus over time. Track personal bests and quiet trends, all processed on your device.

Free

Monthly Focus Report

A polished share card that sums up your month of focus. Keep it for yourself or share a snapshot of your wins, on your own terms.

Free
Make it yours

Tune it to your brain.

Pick the look, the mode, and the level of gentle nudging that actually helps you.

Color Themes

Five themes to match your mood: Coral Calm by default, plus Ocean Depths, Forest Retreat, Lavender Dusk, and Warm Ember.

Pro

Light and Dark

A warm, cozy interface in both light and dark mode. Match your system or set whichever is easiest on your eyes.

Free

ADHD Helpers

Optional, gentle support: inactivity check-ins when you drift off, and step-goal reminders to keep moving. Turn on only what helps and ignore the rest.

Pro
Across your devices

Focus follows you everywhere.

Start on your phone, glance at your wrist, and keep time visible right on your screens.

Home Screen Widgets

Drop your timer, streak, or next task right on the Home Screen so the things that keep you on track are one glance away.

Free

Lock Screen Widgets

Keep your sprint and streak visible from the Lock Screen, so you can check progress without opening the app and getting pulled into a doom-scroll.

Free

Live Activities

Watch your sprint count down live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so time stays in view even when TimeTaps is in the background.

Free

Apple Watch

Start and check a sprint from your wrist, glance at your streak, and keep moving without reaching for your phone.

Free
Made for iPad

Built for the big screen, too.

On iPad, TimeTaps uses a sidebar and two-column layouts, not a blown-up phone screen.

Built by a therapist, for ADHD.

TimeTaps is made by Casey Simon, a licensed therapist who works with ADHD clients. Every feature here exists because it fits how ADHD brains actually work: less friction to start, gentler ways to keep going, and no shame when a day goes sideways.

It is private by design too. There is no account, no ads, no trackers, and nothing leaves your device unless you choose to sync within your own iCloud. Read the privacy policy.
