Coming soon

Untimer for Android is built, and it is coming.

It uses the same account and the same timer as the web app. A session you start at your desk is on your phone, and a session you start on your phone is at your desk. That makes it the timer for work away from a computer. These pictures show the app as it runs today.

The button opens your email app. We keep no list.

Untimer for Android at rest, in paper light: Good morning at the top, the message box with a line written at the last interruption, the hourglass at rest with Hold to start under it, 25:00 with the set figure, the Focus, Break and Long break selector, two small hourglasses for today's sessions, and the current task at two of four. — The Timer screen on a phone has the same hourglass, message box and task card as the web app.

What it does

The phone shows the countdown and rings at the end.

In the notification and on the lock screen

The countdown is a live notification that Android draws itself, in the status bar and on the lock screen, with the task you are on under it. Older versions of Android show an ordinary notification with the same time in it.

An alarm at the end

The sound comes from an exact alarm, so it rings on time whether the phone is asleep in your bag or on the table. Before it rings, the phone asks the server whether the session is still running, and a session you stopped at your desk is skipped.

The session keeps running

Leave the app, put the phone away or close the app from the recents list, and the session keeps running. The end is a time stored on the server, and the phone shows how far away it is.

Untimer for Android with a session running, in paper light: Good morning and the message box at the top, the hourglass pouring peach into sage with Focusing under it, 24:58 with the set figure, the Interruption, Reset and Stop controls, today's two sessions and the current task. — A session is running on the phone, with the same hourglass and controls as the web app.

The phone's lock screen while a session runs: a notification from Untimer reads Focusing, 24:38, Thumbnails, episode 5. — The lock screen shows the countdown while a session runs.

Away from the desk

The phone is the timer for work away from a computer.

Cleaning a room, sorting out the garage, reading a chapter on paper or cooking something that takes a while: any job that needs twenty five minutes of the same kind of attention can be a session. Wind the hourglass up and put the phone in your pocket, and the notification tells you when the sand has run out. If something pulls you away, you can note the interruption there too.

It is the same timer as on your computer. A session you start at the desk is on the phone when you pick it up, and a session you start in the garage is on the desk when you get back. The line you wrote and the task it went to come with it. A day can begin at the desk, carry on in the garage and end on the sofa, and the Days list shows every session in one place.

The session is on the server, so the phone and the computer show the same one.
The notification counts down on the lock screen and rings at the end, in your pocket or on the table.
A task you name on the phone is the task on the desk, and the line you wrote at an interruption shows on either.
Setting it up takes one step: sign in with the account you already use.

The same timer

The phone has the same hourglass, session length and set of four.

Winding it up feels the same on a phone, with the same two and a half seconds and the same clicks.

Days, Insights and Milestones show the same data. A session you run on the phone shows up on your computer, and a line you write on your computer shows in the message box on the phone. The message box, the day's count and the task card are the same on both. Your account, your export and deleting your account work the same way on both.

It has the same features as the web app and two more: the countdown shows on the lock screen, and the alarm rings on time. The theme and the sound are the two buttons at the top of the screen, as they are on the web.

Insights on Android, in paper light: Sessions by hour, with the hour each session started in as bars, and Sessions by weekday, Monday first, with the sessions on each weekday as bars. — Insights runs on the phone too.

Milestones on Android, in the warm dark theme: the Time recorded group, with Sessions recorded at level 4 of 7, a thousand sessions reached on 11 September and 1,051 of 2,500 toward the next level, and First session, on 9 January, each with its emblem. — Milestones look like this in the warm dark theme.

Release

The Android app goes on Google Play when it is ready.

Untimer is built by one person. The web app came first because most sessions happen at a desk. The Android app is built and runs every day, and it is waiting for its listing on Google Play. It goes there when the listing is ready.

If you want to know when it ships, send a short email and you will get one reply, on the day.

Meanwhile

The web app already works in a phone browser.

Open app.untimer.com on your phone and add it to your home screen. It opens in its own window, and a session keeps running when the phone puts the tab to sleep.

The Android app adds the countdown on the lock screen and an alarm that rings while the phone is asleep.

Add it to your home screen

Open app.untimer.com in Chrome.
Open the browser menu and choose "Add to Home screen" or "Install app".
