Story and Campaign

Story

Focus Timer is a tool which helps you effortlessly and beautifully integrate pomodoro and other time blocking practices into your daily routine...

gestural

Using rotation to intuitively set the time from 1-100 minutes, the device has no moving parts and delivers a magical experience.

  • Blue Rings = 1 Minute 
  • Yellow Rings =10 Minutes  
Tactile

Flipping it over starts the time, providing a frictionless experience. Once the session is complete, it resets to the same amount of time. This allows you repeat the same duration by just flipping it back and forth over again. 

Visual

The gentle lights slowly deplete as the time elapses providing a glanceable indication of how much time is left. No more checking your device part way through and getting sucked back in to its notifications.

Auditory

Unlike a traditional hourglass or kitchen timer, Focus Timer makes a soothing sound upon completion. With sound sampled from a real meditation chime, it doesn’t jolt you out of your focus session.

The integrated button on the bottom adjusts the volume, including mute (lights only) mode.

Hey, aren't you that SlimFold guy? Yep! I've run 5 successful campaigns for my everyday carry brand. We've delivered over 10,000 rewards to Kickstarter backers and shipped 250,000 products since 2009

So I know what it takes to design, build, and ship. My hope is that this is one of those campaigns that gives you warm fuzzies whenever you see a new update :)

Development

There’s complicated technology (9-axis accelerometer) under the hood to make it so simple to use, but it’s all self-contained. No Bluetooth. No WiFi. No Smartphone. So it will serve you for years to come. 

I've been working on this passion project for two years and it's at the perfect place for you to jump in and give it the boost it needs to help bring it into production.

  •  Manufacturable CAD files ready
  • Sample circuit boards produced
  •  Firmware coded
  • Fully functional prototypes built
  • Several months of beta testing with users

Don’t let your devices control your attention. Instead, treat your time as the precious resource that it is. 

Risks and challenges

Having done 5 Kickstarter projects before and delivering over 10,000 rewards makes me respect the process of producing products, including interacting with the Kickstarter community. In addition to the usual risks, there are the additional uncertainties associated with COVID and supply chains. While I don't discount these challenges, I've done everything I can to create a clear path to production... from identifying the factory to sourcing the components that are needed. As with anything, delays are possible because of additional unforeseen issues, but I'll do my best to overcome them and communicate accordingly. During the Coin Wallet campaign, when Amazon wasn't shipping anything but essential items, I still shipped out our rewards (on time) by setting up a makeshift fulfillment center in my garage. In other words, I'm ready to make this project happen.
