MetaTimer is a timeboxing and focus timer app for iOS. You build your day like a playlist — each task gets its own time block, and you move through them one at a time so it's easy to see where the day is going.
It's built for people who struggle with time blindness and task initiation — especially folks with ADHD. It also works well for freelancers tracking billable hours, students managing study blocks, remote workers, indie makers running multiple projects, and anyone trying to get better at predicting how long their own work actually takes.
Pomodoro is rigid: a fixed 25-minute interval, then a fixed break. MetaTimer is flexible. Each task can be any length, you can pause and resume without breaking your flow, and you see the whole day at a glance on the timeline instead of one block at a time.
Yes. MetaTimer works as a personal time tracker, but with a twist: instead of just logging what happened (like Toggl or Clockify), it asks you to estimate each task's duration up front, then confirms what it actually took. Over time, that estimate-vs-actual loop trains better intuition for project scoping and supports honest billable hours. The user guide videos cover the daily and weekly reports.
