Couchette: Focus Timer

Eight historical sleeper routes. Your train only moves while you focus — and stops exactly where it would in real life. Start with a 7-day free trial.

Tonight, take an overnight train.

Couchette is a focus timer disguised as a European sleeper carriage. Choose a destination, choose how long you have, and let the rhythm of the rails carry you through the work. Your train only moves while you do.

— YOUR JOURNEY PERSISTS — The cabin runs at real pace. If you have 25 minutes on a London–Inverness run, your train stops where it would actually be, somewhere south of Crewe — and tomorrow night you board again from that exact spot. A four-hour overnight can take a week of sessions. Your progress is a route, not a streak counter.

— EIGHT HISTORICAL SLEEPER ROUTES — The Carpathian Night. The Trans-Siberian Reverie. The Nightjet over the Brenner. Each one hand-drawn from real timetables, with real stations crossed at the right moment in your session. Plus any destination on Earth.

— THE COMPARTMENT —

• A brass-framed window with a parallax landscape drifting past in real time
• Rails, cabin creaks and rain on the glass
• Station bells as you cross checkpoints
• A passport that earns a stamp for every completed or partial journey
• A conductor's log on arrival
• Audio keeps running while your phone is locked

— SESSION LENGTHS — 25 minutes for deep work. 45 for a study block. 90 for writing. Four hours for a full overnight.

For writers, students, makers, and anyone who has wanted their focus time to feel like something other than a stopwatch.

— MEMBERSHIP — Start with a 7-day free trial of Wagon-Lit Annual ($34.99/year). Monthly ($6.99/month) and Lifetime ($79.99) also available. Cancel anytime in App Store settings.
