5 Personal Timer Apps for 2023
Which one do You Use
Minimalist
a simple yet useful tool designed to help you stay organized and make the most of your time. The Minimalist personal timer app offers an uncomplicated and intuitive interface, allowing you to easily navigate and customize your timers with just a few taps. Limited features and functions allows Minimalist to be what it is — a simple to use and welcome productivity app.
What I like about Minimalist is you can create lists for each of your calendars and email addresses. For myself this is particularly useful since I have more than one calendar I use and more than one gmail account.
Plantie
If you find yourself constantly getting sidetracked and struggling to stay focused, Plantie is here to help. This innovative app is designed specifically for individuals who have difficulty staying on task and need a little extra motivation to stay engaged.
Plantie uses gamification techniques to transform your productivity journey into an enjoyable experience. By planting virtual seeds and nurturing them through focused work sessions, you’ll watch your plants grow and flourish as you accomplish your tasks. But beware — if you get distracted or leave the app, your plants will wither away.
Say goodbye to endless scrolling on social media or getting lost in a sea of notifications. With Plantie, you’ll be motivated to stay focused and make meaningful progress towards your goals.
Flora
Flora along with Minimalist are the apps I use the most.
The app that lets you grow a tree as you work. Designed to help users stay focused and achieve their goals, Plantie utilizes gamification techniques to create a unique experience. By setting tasks and deadlines, users can earn virtual plants that grow and flourish as they complete their tasks on time.
But Plantie goes beyond just productivity. It incorporates an element of environmental consciousness by allowing users to unlock different species of virtual plants through eco-friendly actions. From recycling to reducing energy consumption, each positive action contributes to the growth of their digital garden.
With its intuitive interface and engaging features, Plantie motivates individuals to stay on track while instilling a sense of responsibility towards the planet. So why settle for traditional productivity apps when you can use Plantie to not only boost your efficiency but also make a positive impact on the environment?
Forest
The Forest app is a powerful tool that helps you cultivate your personal pattern of time management. It encourages you to make the most out of 30-minute intervals by fully concentrating on your work and effectively finishing tasks.
By using the Forest app, you can create a virtual forest where trees grow as long as you stay focused on your work. This visual representation serves as a reminder to stay committed and avoid distractions during those crucial 30-minute sessions.
With the Forest app, you can break down your tasks into manageable chunks and allocate specific time slots for each. This method allows for better focus, productivity, and ultimately, more effective completion of work.
Also comes as a Chrome Extension.
Focus Traveler
The Focus Traveler is a good tool that helps individuals and students enhance their productivity and focus. With the ability to collect badges, users can track and celebrate their progress as they develop better work habits.
One standout feature of the Focus Traveler is its focus music functionality. By providing a curated selection of background music, it creates an optimal environment for concentration and deep work. Users can choose from various genres and styles to find the perfect soundtrack for their tasks.
Additionally, the Focus Traveler allows users to revisit previous work sessions and analyze their productivity patterns. By examining past performance, individuals can identify their most productive periods and replicate those focus patterns in future sessions.
Study Bunny
So this is a fun new app I found recently. The features are not too different from the other apps listed above. What you can do with this application is decorate your apartment while you are focusing on a task. You receive ‘coins’ to buy — not from Amazon — items to feed your bunny, decorate you living space and buy clothes for the bunny. Kinda a cute and different idea I think.
Well I hope you enjoyed reading this and I hope you find an app that works for your needs.
Cheers!!
