Nowly: ADHD Visual Timer
By Micro App Digital






About this app
Time you can actually see. Nowly turns minutes into a bright wedge that visibly drains — full-screen, always awake, with a gentle heads-up before the end and a soft landing after it. Catch a stray thought in about three seconds and get straight back to what you were doing. Walk your morning step by step with Flows, each step its own timer, with a live 'done by' so you always know where you stand. Built with ADHD brains in mind and honest about what it is: a support tool for focus and time awareness, not a treatment or a medical device.
Features
Time You Can Actually See
- A bright wedge of time that visibly drains, full-screen, with the screen kept awake.
- Wedge, bar or plain digits — tap to switch. Seconds are hidden by default.
A Soft Landing, Not An Alarm
- A gentle heads-up before the end, then a calm beat when time is up.
- Overtime grows quietly in amber. Nothing flashes, nothing screams — you stop when you are ready.
Catch The Thought In Seconds
- One tap, one field, gone — your inbox holds it so you do not have to.
- Sort later into Today, Later or Let Go. Letting go is a decision you are allowed to make.
One Thing, Right Now
- Pair a task with a timer and the Now card fills the screen.
- When it ends: done, a bit more, or switch to the next thing on your list.
Routines That Carry You
- Morning, Wind-down, 15-min Tidy and Work Sprint are ready before you configure anything.
- Each step has its own timer, one oversized NEXT, and a live 'done by' that stays honest when a step runs long.
Low-Stim By Design
- One switch mutes the palette, stills all motion and silences all sound.
- Independent colour, motion and sound dials, large type, and every celebration can be turned off one at a time.
Counts That Only Go Up
- Focus minutes, thoughts caught and flows walked — with 'days you showed up' instead of a streak.
- There is nothing here that can break, and a missed day is simply not counted.
Yours And Offline
- Everything you catch stays on your device and never shapes the ads you see.
- Export a backup whenever you like. No account, and it works offline.
