Stop watching the clock. Start getting things done.
Current is a visual focus timer that shows time as color, not numbers. Green fades to red — with motion and haptics letting you know where you’re at. No countdown anxiety, no complicated Pomodoro cycles.

When you’re easily distracted, the last thing you need is a focus timer that distracts.
Most focus timers count down. That means every time you glance at your screen, you’re reminded of how much time is left — not the work in front of you.
Pomodoro apps add rigid cycles, required breaks, and another system to follow. For distractible minds, that’s another thing to fail at.
Current works differently.
Time you can feel.
Without the ticking clock.
Color tells the story
Your screen shifts slowly from green to yellow to red over your session. One glance tells you everything. No numbers required.
On your wrist, not in your way
The Apple Watch focus timer app runs completely standalone — no iPhone nearby required. Haptic feedback at key moments keeps you in flow without a glance.
Five minutes changes everything
Choose 5, 15, or 30 minutes. A small commitment removes the weight of starting. Double-tap to go again with zero friction.
One app for iPhone.
One for Apple Watch.
Both work independently.
The Apple Watch focus timer app runs on its own — no iPhone nearby required. Use whichever fits your context.
Built for the way your brain works
Whether you have ADHD, anxiety around deadlines, or just struggle to start — Current meets you where you are. No guilt, no system, no subscription.
Unlike Pomodoro apps that add another system to follow, Current is just one decision: pick a duration, tap start. The Pomodoro alternative for people who don’t need more rules.
- No Pomodoro cycles or required breaks
- No tracking, streaks, or dashboards
- $2.99 one-time — no subscription ever
Design philosophy
Current applies calm technology principles from Xerox PARC research: information lives in the periphery of your attention, not demanding it. The timer informs without interrupting.
Color and gentle haptics tell you where you are in your session. The exact time is there if you want it — hidden until you tap. Your focus stays on the work, not the clock.
Keep your focus where it matters.
