Tilt — Focus Timer
Focus starts with a tilt. Less friction. More focus.
TILT is a gesture-powered focus timer for iPhone. Tilt to landscape and your session starts. Frictionless, immediate, no decisions. Rotate to switch. Shake to reset. Built for anyone who struggles to start, and for anyone tired of apps that feel like work to open. Most phone habits live in portrait. Landscape belongs to focus. Your brain doesn't associate it with scrolling. Smart App Blocker restricts distracting apps the moment your session starts. Unblocks on break.
I'm Royd, the solo developer behind TILT.
I built it because most focus timers I tried were designed to keep you in the app. Bloated with streaks, gamification, and settings. And still requiring effort just to get a session going. By the time I'd tapped through everything, I'd already lost the thread.
TILT turns your phone into a physical timer. You tilt it to landscape and your session starts. No tapping, no setup, no decisions between you and flow. It also turns out that landscape is a posture you almost never hold while scrolling. So over time, the gesture starts to work as a mental cue. Your brain learns that sideways means work.
Three gestures run the whole app:
Tilt to landscape to start focus
Rotate 180° to switch to break
Shake to reset
There's also an intelligent App Blocker that restricts distracting apps the moment your session starts, and unblocks them automatically on break.
Privacy-first: no accounts, no cloud sync, no ads, no data collection. Everything stays on your device.
Pricing:
Free to start. No trial required. Pro unlocks adjustable timers, full session history, deeper insights, App Blocker, and all color themes. 7-day free trial, then $6.99/quarter or $19.99 lifetime.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried Pomodoro apps before and given up on them. That's exactly who I built this for. And if anything feels off or could work better, tell me. Genuinely.
