The focus timer you flip
FlipTimer™ - The Focus Cube
Focus is one flip away. FlipTimer™ is the focus timer you flip, not tap — no apps, no accounts, no doomscroll detour on the way to your timer. Turn the face you want up, and the countdown starts.
Try it for 30 days. If it doesn't change how you work, send it back — no hard feelings.
Description
How it works: flip 25 face up and the gravity sensor starts your countdown — no buttons, no menus, no phone. Work until it buzzes. Flip 5 for your break. That's the 25/5 rhythm.

- Silent vibrate mode — library-legal, office-safe, roommate-approved

Flip it. That's the whole tutorial.
No apps. No menus. No setup. Gravity is the interface — turn the face you want up, and the timer starts.
Four faces. Four modes.
The whole system is printed on the cube.
The Default
When in doubt, flip 25.
The Breather
Stand. Water. Window.
Deep Water
For the hard thing.
The Reset
For the in-between.
Where it works
Flip 25. Phone goes face-down.
Starting a sprint is faster than unlocking your phone.
The sensor catches every flip.
Turn the face you want up — it's already counting.
Silent mode. Zero disturbance.
Vibration-only alerts — completely silent while it counts.
Focus timer on weekdays. Kitchen timer on Sunday.
The same four faces happily time the sauce and the steep.

“My focus timer was inside the most distracting object I own.”
Every time I opened my phone to start a focus session, I'd surface 20 minutes later in someone's comment section. FlipTimer started as a fix for my own ADHD brain: a start button that lives on the desk, not behind a lock screen. Flip it, and you're already working. — Sam, founder
FAQs
How long does the battery last?
3–4 weeks of daily sessions per charge. Recharges fully in about an hour over USB-C (cable included).
Does it tick?
No — it's fully silent while counting. Unlike mechanical timers, the only sound it ever makes is the alert you choose.
Do I need an app?
Never. No app, no account, no Bluetooth, no subscription. The cube is the whole product.
Is it loud? I work in a library.
Three alert levels: loud, low, and silent-with-vibration. Silent mode is completely library-safe.
What if I stop using it?
That's what the guarantee is for. Use it for 30 days — if it isn't changing how you work, send it back for a full refund. No forms, no fuss.
