Timeboxing for ADHD and Focused Work
MetaTimer is a timeboxing and focus timer app designed for people who want structure, clarity, and control over their time, especially those with ADHD or trouble staying on task. Unlike rigid Pomodoro timers, MetaTimer lets you build your day like a playlist — each task gets its own time slot, but you stay in control of the flow.
What it helps you do:
• Plan your day using flexible time blocks
• Focus deeply with clear session goals
• Track real-time usage and compare it with your estimate
• Stay accountable with progress tracking
• Reduce decision fatigue with daily routines and a task-at-a-time flow
Built for ADHD brains (but great for everyone):
MetaTimer makes it easier to start tasks, stay engaged, and avoid rabbit holes by giving you a simple plan and a clear visual countdown.
It’s more than a standard timer app — it’s an ADHD planner, a productivity timer, and a daily planner app all in one. By blending time tracking, focus sessions, and flow-based planning, it adapts to how your brain works instead of forcing you into a rigid mold. People with ADHD often struggle with task initiation or keeping attention on a single activity, and MetaTimer provides just enough structure to keep you on track without overwhelming you.
Whether you’re trying to complete deep work, manage study sessions, or structure your freelance projects, the app gives you the tools to stay present, track time, and feel rewarded by visible progress.

Features:
• Timebox daily tasks
• Visual focus timer with progress tracking
• Estimated vs. actual time logging
• Functional time tracking
• Pause & resume sessions
• Plans for future tasks
• Time reports and daily stats
Designed for clarity, not clutter.
Unlike some complex time trackers or rigid daily planner apps, MetaTimer focuses on simplicity and visibility. Every feature has a purpose: help you find flow and stay in it. The design is distraction-free, so you can focus on your task instead of wasting energy figuring out the tool.
With timer reports, daily stats, and time logs, you can see not just where your minutes went, but also how well your estimates matched reality. This makes it easier to improve your planning skills over time. Freelancers can even use these logs as a foundation for creating invoices or reporting hours to clients.
MetaTimer takes the strengths of Pomodoro timers, daily planners, and time tracking tools but removes the rigidity. You can create sessions as short or as long as you like, pause and resume without breaking your flow, and re-order tasks when life changes direction. Instead of punishing you for breaking focus, the app encourages small wins and helps you return to flow quickly.
By approaching planning like a playlist, the app makes task management feel lighter. Each block is a song in your day — it has a clear start, a finish, and a rhythm — but you’re the DJ. You can shuffle, repeat, or skip as needed, without losing control.
MetaTimer is useful for:
• Students who need a study timer and daily planner to prepare for exams.
• Remote workers who juggle meetings, creative work, and breaks.
• Freelancers who need accurate time tracking and session logs for invoices.
• Creatives and makers who struggle with procrastination but thrive when they can see progress and flow.
• People with ADHD who need gentle guidance, not strict rules.
Even if you don’t have ADHD, the structure MetaTimer provides can help you practice deep work, single-tasking, and mindful productivity.
