Coming soon

Untimer for Android is coming to Google Play.

It uses the same account and the same timer as the web app. Start a session at your desk and it is on your phone. Start one on your phone and it is at your desk. These pictures show the app as it runs today.

Untimer for Android at rest, in paper light: Good morning at the top, the message box with a line written at the last interruption, the hourglass at rest with Hold to start under it, 25:00 with the set figure, the Focus, Break and Long break selector, two small hourglasses for today's sessions, and the current task at two of four. — The Timer screen on a phone matches the web app.

What it does

The phone shows the countdown and rings at the end.

On the lock screen

Android draws the countdown as a live notification. You see it in the status bar and on the lock screen. The task you are on sits under it. Older versions of Android show an ordinary notification with the same time.

An alarm at the end

An exact alarm sounds the end of the session on time. It rings with the phone asleep in your bag or on the table. Before it rings, the phone checks with the server. A session you stopped at your desk stays quiet.

The session keeps running

Leave the app or put the phone away. The session keeps running. Its end is a time stored on the server, and the phone counts down to it.

Untimer for Android with a session running, in paper light: Good morning and the message box at the top, the hourglass pouring peach into sage with Focusing under it, 24:58 with the set figure, the Interruption, Reset and Stop controls, today's two sessions and the current task. — A session runs on the phone with the same controls as the web app.

The phone's lock screen while a session runs: a notification from Untimer reads Focusing, 24:38, Thumbnails, episode 5. — The lock screen shows the countdown while a session runs.

Away from the desk

Focus away from your computer.

Some work happens away from a screen. You clean a room or sort out the garage. You read a chapter on paper or cook a long meal. Any job that needs 25 minutes of steady attention can be a session.

Wind the hourglass and put the phone in your pocket. The notification tells you when the session ends. You can note an interruption there too.

A session you start at the desk is on the phone when you pick it up. The note you wrote and its task come with it. The Days list shows the whole day in one place.

The same timer

Learn it once and use it on both.

Winding feels the same on a phone. You hold for the same 2.5 seconds and feel the same clicks.

Days, Insights and Milestones show the same data on both. A session you run on the phone shows up on your computer. A note you write on your computer shows in the message box on the phone.

Your account works the same way on both. So does the download of your data. The phone adds the countdown on the lock screen and the alarm at the end.

Insights on Android, in paper light: Sessions by hour, with the hour each session started in as bars, and Sessions by weekday, Monday first, with the sessions on each weekday as bars. — Insights runs on the phone too.

Milestones on Android, in the warm dark theme: the Time recorded group, with Sessions recorded at level 4 of 7, 1,000 sessions reached on 11 September and 1,051 of 2,500 toward the next level, and First session, on 9 January, each with its emblem. — Milestones in the warm dark theme.
