Wend: Time Blindness Timer

Time blindness is losing track of time the moment you look away. Wend keeps your current step and its countdown where you will see it: on your lock screen, in your notifications and on your home screen. Build a routine as a short list of steps. Tap it and Wend shows one step at a time, full screen, with a calm countdown and a big Done button. Leave the app and the step comes with you. WHAT YOU GET • One step at a time. No list to read halfway through your morning. • A countdown that follows you. It runs in your notifications and on your lock screen, with a Done button right there. Nothing to set up. • A live home-screen widget. Your current step, what comes next and the countdown, without opening the app. Done and Skip work on the widget itself. • A timer that waits for you. At 0:00 nothing jumps ahead. You tap Done when you are done. • If-then cues. Tie a step to a moment instead of a clock time: "after the kettle → take the tablets". • Ready-made routines for mornings, leaving the house and winding down. Edit any of them. • Calm by design. Dark, quiet, no points, no streaks, no confetti. • Offline, no account. Your routines stay on your phone. WHERE THE IDEAS COME FROM Showing the next step and a running clock where you will see it follows Russell Barkley's work on executive function: put the information at the point of performance instead of holding it in your head. The if-then cue comes from research on implementation intentions (Gollwitzer and Sheeran, 2006).
