Feel time
on your wrist.

The silent ADHD focus timer for Apple Watch — haptic time awareness, no clock.

Thrum hides the clock and gives you a gentle, rhythmic pulse instead — a quiet anchor in time that keeps working even when the screen is off. No numbers. No noise. Just focus.

Apple Watch · iPhone companion · Requires iOS 26.5 · watchOS 26.5

This is the whole focus screen. No clock. No countdown. It tells you the plan — how often the pulse taps, when the heads-up comes — then a gentle rhythm keeps time on your wrist. You never have to look at it.

Why it's different

Built around a single, stubborn problem: time-blindness.

Apps for focus love to show you a clock. For an ADHD brain, a visible countdown is just one more thing to fixate on — or forget. Thrum takes the opposite path. What time blindness is, and what helps ›

No clock, no numbers

The focus screen hides time by design — never a countdown. It tells you what will happen and how often you'll be tapped, then gets out of the way. Your attention stays on the work, not the timer.

Works screen-off

A reliable session keeps pulsing even when your wrist drops and the display sleeps. The session never quietly dies on you.

Gentle haptics

Three taps you learn in a minute: a soft pulse that marks time, a firmer cue that asks for a small decision, and a heads-up two minutes before the end. Never a shock, never a buzz you'll learn to ignore.

More than a timer

A whole, quiet focus system.

Two modes, gentle transitions, routines, widgets, Apple Health, and an iPhone companion — all speaking the same calm language.

Focus & interval modes

Timed sessions, or an open-ended WatchMinder-style cue mode.

Watch-face complication

Start a session — and see when one's running — right from your face.

Gentle transitions

A heads-up before the end, then a choice: I'm ready, or 5 more minutes. Nothing ends on its own.

Routines

A quiet prompt at a set time, and a firm tap at each step change. A prompt, never a surprise session.

iPhone companion

Set your cue schedule on iPhone; it syncs to your watch. No Watch? Interval cues still reach your iPhone in the background, as a silent vibration.

Apple Health

Optionally save finished sessions as Mindful Minutes. Write-only — Thrum never reads your health data.

Widgets & Shortcuts

Start a 25-minute session from your Home Screen, or ask Siri. Works with Focus automations.

Six languages

English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, العربية (RTL), Español.

“I want something that keeps me on track but doesn't show me the time — just something I can quietly feel on my wrist.”

That request — heard again and again from the ADHD community — is exactly what Thrum is. A focus & time-awareness tool. Not a medical or treatment device.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need an Apple Watch?
Thrum is built for Apple Watch — the haptic pulse is the whole point, and it needs a wrist. The iPhone app is a companion for setup, schedules and stats. Without a Watch you can still run sessions on iPhone, and interval cues arrive as a silent vibration even in the background — but the wrist is where Thrum works best.
What does the free version include?
Your first 5 focus sessions, with no ads. After that, Thrum Pro unlocks unlimited focus sessions, custom haptic patterns, unlimited cue schedules and focus stats. Routine reminders, settings and your history are never locked.
How do I cancel?
Plans are billed at purchase through Apple. You can cancel anytime from your Apple Account settings and keep access until the end of the paid period.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no Thrum account and no Thrum server. Your sessions live on your devices and sync through your own private iCloud, which only you can access.
Will I know what's going to happen during a session?
Yes — that's the point of hiding the clock, not hiding the plan. Before you start, the screen says how long the session is, how often the soft pulse taps, that a firmer cue comes every 15 minutes and a heads-up 2 minutes before the end. When time is up, Thrum asks what's next: I'm ready, or 5 more minutes. Nothing ends on its own.
Will it keep pulsing when my screen is off?
Yes. That's the design — Thrum keeps its rhythm running in the background so you stay anchored without looking at anything.
What is time blindness?
Time blindness is the everyday experience of losing your grip on how much time has passed — five minutes and forty minutes feel the same from the inside. It is a common frustration in the ADHD community. Thrum answers it with a steady haptic pulse: instead of reading a clock, you feel time moving on your wrist. It is a focus and time-awareness tool, not a diagnosis or a treatment.
Can I use Thrum as a Pomodoro timer?
Yes. Set a session to any length you like — 25 minutes for a classic Pomodoro, or anything from 5 to 120 minutes — and Thrum runs it silently, with a gentle haptic at the start and the end. The difference from every other Pomodoro app: there is no countdown on screen to fixate on.
Can I get WatchMinder-style vibrating reminders on my Apple Watch?
That is exactly what interval mode does. Instead of a timed session, Thrum sends discreet vibrating cues through the day on the schedule you set — no sound, nothing on screen for anyone else to see, on the watch you already wear. No extra hardware to buy or charge.
How do I cancel?
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel Thrum Pro. One tap, no email required.
