Lifeline is a timer app for macOS loosely based on the Pomodoro Technique.
Find focus with flexible session lengths, perfectly timed breaks, and a real-time progress bar.

Session progress, see and sense it.

The bar at the top of your screen—your Lifeline—gives real-time feedback on your progress. Here's a fan: "The concept of seeing the time as a line during the day is mind-blowing. So simple, yet so useful."

Lifeline's visual progress bar

Breaks on your schedule, not your timer's.

Other apps force you to stop when time’s up. Not Lifeline. Flexible session lengths keep you going when you’re flowing. When you do pause, Lifeline recommends the ideal break time.

"It's a great tool. I like how it just works even with me being passive about it. Seeing progress just from doing what I do encourages me to try a bit harder."

We can't make meetings fun (yet), but at least timing them is easy now. Lifeline starts and stops virtual meetings automatically. It shows how much time's left and when you're going over time.
