Glasshouse Focus: Study Timer

Glasshouse is a focus timer that grows plants.

Choose a session length, start the timer, and put the phone down. The time is yours: for work, study, reading, or rest. Finish the session and a new plant grows into your collection, potted and shelved with room for a note about what you did with the time.

Use it as a study timer, a pomodoro timer for work, or a quiet stretch of deep work. No streaks to keep, no scores to lose, no notifications asking you back.

HOW A SESSION WORKS

A session is one unbroken stretch of focus. The timer keeps counting while the phone is locked. Leaving for another app pauses it, and ending early grows nothing. Nothing you have collected is ever lost.

Three lengths, three seed mixes:
Windowsill, 25 minutes, common plants.
Garden, 50 minutes, uncommon plants.
Expedition, 75 minutes, rare plants.

Longer sessions grow rarer plants.

YOUR GLASSHOUSE

Every plant you grow is real, with its Latin and common names and three true things about it. Choose a pot, write a line on its index card, and it joins your shelf, grouped by the day you grew it. Tap any plant to read about it, or share it as a small poster.

Before each session you can write down what the time is for. It waits under the timer, and it becomes the start of the plant's note.

THE BACKDROP

The session screen is an illustrated glasshouse that follows your own clock: sunrise in the morning, full daylight in the afternoon, lantern light at night. There is nothing else on it but the time.

FREE, THEN ONE PURCHASE

The timer is free forever. Growing is free for your first 12 plants. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the Glasshouse and growing new plants is yours for good. No subscription, and nothing you have grown is ever taken back.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account, no sign-in, no email address. Your collection, your notes and your history stay on your phone. No ads, no trackers, no analytics SDKs. The whole privacy policy fits on one page.

A focus timer for students, writers, readers, and anyone whose concentration keeps ending up in their phone. Made by one person in Melbourne, Australia.
