A focus timer with a little atmosphere

Make space for the work in front of you

Timelapse is a no-pause focus timer for the moments when staying with one task matters. It is intentionally simple: choose a duration, keep the tab open, and take a real break when the session ends.

Start a focus session

What it is for

A clear start and finish

Choose a focus block, name the task, and let the timer make the commitment visible.

A gentle visual companion

The changing planet gives the session a sense of progress without filling the screen with dashboards.

A reason to stay with the task

Leaving the tab for too long ends the active streak. It is a boundary, not a judgment—real-life interruptions are allowed.

A shareable result

When you finish, you can keep or share a session card without creating a public profile.

Questions people ask

What happens if I switch tabs?

The timer gives you a short grace period. If you stay away longer, the current session ends. Use it when an uninterrupted block is genuinely useful.

Which session length should I choose?

Start with a length you can finish consistently. Short blocks are useful for getting started; longer blocks suit work that needs time to warm up.

Does it need an account?

No. The timer and local session data work in your browser.
