Nowly: ADHD Visual Timer

Time you can actually see. Nowly turns minutes into a bright wedge that visibly drains — full-screen, always awake, with a gentle heads-up before the end and a soft landing after it. When the time is up nothing screams: overtime simply grows on the other side in a calm amber, and you stop when you are ready. Catch a stray thought in about three seconds and get straight back to what you were doing. Walk your morning step by step with Flows — each step its own timer, one big NEXT, and a live "done by 8:52" so you always know where you stand. Built with ADHD brains in mind, and honest about what it is: a support tool for focus and time awareness, not a treatment or a medical device. Everything is included, and it all works offline. SEE TIME • The wedge — a poppy disk of time that drains as your minutes pass • Bar and plain-digits styles too; tap to switch • Full-screen ambient mode that keeps the screen awake, because a timer you cannot see is not a visual timer • Presets in one tap, or any length you like • Seconds hidden by default — a ticking second is its own kind of pressure • A soft landing at zero, then overtime in calm amber. No siren, no flashing, no red CATCH THE THOUGHT • One tap, one field, gone — your inbox holds it so you do not have to • Triage later into Today, Later, or Let Go • Letting something go is a decision you are allowed to make, and it stays there if you want it back ONE THING NOW • Pair a task with a timer and the Now card fills the screen • When it ends: done, a bit more, or switch to the next thing on your Today list FLOWS — ROUTINES THAT CARRY YOU • Morning, Wind-down, 15-min Tidy and Work Sprint are ready before you configure anything • Every step has its own visual timer and one oversized NEXT • A live "done by" that recalculates honestly, including when a step runs long • Build your own in three taps per step LOW-STIM BY DESIGN • One switch mutes the palette, stills all motion and silences all sound • Independent dials for colour, motion and sound • Large type, and every celebration can be switched off one at a time • Your phone's Reduce Motion setting is honoured too — whichever is quieter wins GENTLE PROGRESS • Focus minutes, thoughts caught, flows walked — counts that only go up • "Days you showed up" instead of a streak, because there is nothing here that can break • A weekly recap you can share, with no bad news in it YOURS, AND PRIVATE • Everything you catch stays on your device • Your thoughts, tasks and Flow names are never sent anywhere and never shape the ads you see • Export a backup whenever you want • Works fully offline. No account ABOUT ADS The running timer, the capture sheet, your inbox and the Flow player have no ads and never will. A focus tool that interrupts your focus has refuted itself. AN HONEST NOTE Nowly is a support tool for focus and time awareness, designed with ADHD brains in mind. It is not a treatment, not therapy and not a medical device. No app treats ADHD, and we are not going to pretend otherwise — if ADHD is affecting your life, a clinician can help in ways a timer cannot.
