Candle Timer: Focus & Meditate

A quiet timer for focused study and work. A candle burns and slowly gets shorter. No countdown, no pep talks, no nagging. No games, and no penalty if you stop early. When time is up, the flame goes out and the time you burned is saved. Play rain or waves in a moving scene, like a rainy window, a study or a night shore. It works for meditation, yoga and winding down before bed, too. ■ How it works 1. Turn the dial to set the time, then light the candle 2. When it burns out, take a short break 3. Turn on Repeat, and a new candle is lit after each break ■ A candle instead of a countdown · See how much time is left from the candle's length, at a glance · The screen stays on while the candle burns · The timer keeps running when you leave the app; a chime, a vibration and a notification tell you when it's done (notifications need permission) · Tap the screen to see the time left, or to put the candle out early · Prefer to see the time? Turn on the time display for a candle (off by default) ■ No pep talks, no pressure When a candle burns out, it won't say "Well done" or "Great job." It just tells you how long it burned. No streaks and no goals to miss, so you can go at your own pace. ■ Repeat: Pomodoro-style cycles Check "Repeat" to burn, take a break, and burn again. After each break, a new candle is set in the holder and lit. As with Pomodoro-style timers, you alternate focus and rest. Choose the break length and the number of candles, or keep going until you stop. Free for everyone. ■ Track study time by subject Make a candle for each subject, like "English," "Math" or "Reading." Every session is saved automatically, and you can see totals, session counts and time for each subject by day, week, month and year. Premium adds your all-time total, the hours and weekdays you light candles, and each candle over time. The free version has a limited number of candles; Premium makes it unlimited. ■ Made for · Students studying for tests and entrance exams · University coursework and exam prep · Working adults studying for certifications · Remote work and focused tasks at home · People who find cheering or game-like apps tiring · Meditation, mindfulness and candle gazing (trataka) · Yoga, stretching and breathing exercises · A bath, a break, winding down, or falling asleep (Sleep mode) ■ Ambient sounds Rain, waves, a stream, wind, plus white, pink and brown noise. The sound starts when you light the candle and fades out when it burns out. Pick a soft, medium or full level. It won't stop music playing in other apps. Sounds play while the screen is on. ■ Moving backgrounds A rainy window, a snowy night, the northern lights, a night sea, a study, shoji screens, a castle window and more, plus daytime scenes like cherry blossoms and a rainy moss garden. Snow drifts, waves roll in and fireflies wander. ■ Candle presets Save candle presets for each use, such as "Study," "Meditate," "Yoga" or "Before bed." Each one remembers its own color, holder, background and ambient sound, so switching presets changes the whole scene. ■ Sleep mode: nothing to wake you Check "Sleep mode," and the candle burns out without a chime or vibration. In the last few minutes the screen slowly dims, then goes dark. A silent notification lets you know it has ended. Free for everyone. ■ Drift mode Like a real candle, it burns out a little before or after the time you set. ■ Premium (one-time purchase) · More backgrounds, holders and ambient sounds · Unlimited candle presets · More history (all-time total, time of day, each candle over time) · Longer timer durations · Custom candle colors you mix yourself · No ads Not a subscription.
