The object keeps time
The timer records every flip itself, with a timestamp, and holds about three weeks of history in its own memory. Your phone can be in another room, switched off or forgotten, and nothing is lost.
A timer you turn, not tap
Turn it over.
Get to work.
FlipToFocus is a twelve-sided timer for your desk. Every face is an activity, and whichever one points up is what's being timed. There are no buttons, no screen and no app to open first.

How it works
Three steps, and the second one is the only one you repeat.
-
01
Name the faces
Give each face an activity in the app: deep work, reading, calls, the gym. Rest the timer on each face once, and it learns its own shape.
-
02
Flip to begin
Set it down with an activity on top. Within a second it notices and starts counting. When you switch tasks, turn it again.
-
03
See where the time went
Open the app whenever you like. It collects everything the timer recorded and lays out your day, one activity at a time.
Details
A small object that takes time seriously.
One face means stop
A dodecahedron has no way to rest that isn't on a face, so one face is permanently Paused. When you walk away, turn it to Paused and the clock really stops.
Honest numbers
It stores what actually happened, never running totals, so your history can be re-cut by day, week or activity at any time. Time it can't be sure of is marked as uncertain rather than guessed.
Built to be ignored
No screen, no lights, no notifications. It sleeps between flips, wakes when you move it and charges over USB-C.
