A pomodoro-style study timer where the countdown isn't numbers — it's food. Set your duration, hit Start, and watch fries go from pale to golden to crispy as the minutes tick down. When you're done, the basket slides out and confetti flies.
Plain countdowns are easy to ignore. A glance at "23:14" tells you very little about how far you are or how long you have left — your brain has to do the math. Visual timers skip that step. Progress is just there, in the shape and color of something familiar.
The fries gradually brown. The heating coils glow warmer. Steam rises. You don't have to translate a number into a feeling — the feeling is the interface.
Most timers are set-and-forget. This one rewards a glance — "oh, almost ready" — without yanking you out of the work. A low-stakes cue to stay on task.
Time that lives outside your head is time you don't have to track in your head. That frees up attention for the actual task.
The basket slides out, the food is finished, confetti flies. Completion is a moment — not a beep — which makes finishing feel like a small win, every time. Stats roll up automatically. Achievements unlock when you cross milestones (your first session, a 7-day streak, ten hours of deep work).
Visual timers are quietly popular with students cramming for exams, designers in deep focus, writers who need a soft container for a draft, and many people in the ADHD community who find a tangible, externalized timer easier to actually use than a number on a screen.
Air Fryer Timer isn't a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat anything. It's a focus tool that happens to be designed with attention differences in mind.
Every part of the app is something you can actually see, hear, or feel — the fryer chassis, the steam, the sound, the haptics on completion. A focus timer that takes itself just a little bit seriously.
Stainless chassis, glass window, glowing coils, rising steam, a basket that shakes every couple of minutes. Built entirely in SwiftUI — no images, all live shapes.
From a 1-minute breath to a 3-hour marathon. Three handy presets: 25-min Focus, 50-min Deep Work, 90-min Exam Prep.
Five built-in soundscapes — white noise, rain, coffee shop, brown noise, fireplace — generated in real time. No downloads. Mixes with what you're playing.
Keeps perfect time when you lock your phone. Live Activity and Dynamic Island indicator stay visible the whole session.
One tap hides the tab bar, controls, and status bar — leaving just the fryer and the time. The fewest pixels asking for your attention.
Total focus, streaks, 7-day chart, 12-week heatmap. No leaderboards, no shaming, no shared data.
First Batch. Crispy Focus. Deep Fry Scholar. Study Chef. Master Air Fryer. They unlock as you actually do the work — no streak guilt.
French fries, chicken wings, cookies, donuts, or roasted veggies. Each has its own raw-to-done color ramp and shapes.
Adaptive layout — portrait stacked, iPad landscape split. Same familiar bottom tab bar on both. Dark mode by default, light mode when you ask.
JTR Labs doesn't collect your session history, achievements, or preferences — they live in a local file on your phone and Reset All Data wipes them instantly. The app shows an occasional ad after a session (Google AdMob, full disclosure on the Privacy page), and iOS lets you decline tracking when first asked.
