Focus, with a place to park the thoughts.

Every feature, from the first launch.

No account, no login, no cloud. Everything runs on your device and works fully offline — nothing in this post is hidden behind a wall.

What OffRamp does

OffRamp is a focus timer designed around one specific ADHD failure mode: the intrusive thought that derails a session. You start a 25-minute focus block. Five minutes in, your brain says 'did I email Sarah?' — and you have two equally bad options: stop and lose the session, or try to remember and inevitably lose the thought.

OffRamp fixes that.

— One-tap 'park this thought' button during every focus session. Type a quick note (or dictate via on-device Speech), tap save, return to focus. The thought is parked. — Parked thoughts appear in a Triage inbox after the session ends. Did it / Schedule for later / Discard. No more lost ideas, no more derailed sessions. — Tiimo-style visual time-bar countdown — a colored bar that visibly drains as time passes. Built for ADHD time-blindness. — Built-in body-doubling ambience: five distinct presets (cafe, library, rain, fire crackle, brown noise) generated procedurally on-device using AVAudioEngine. Mixes with your other audio (Spotify, YouTube) so you can layer. — Session log: what tasks you focused on, how long, what thoughts you parked. Browse past sessions, see their triage outcomes. — Calm UX: no rewards, no gamification, no streaks-or-shame. ADHD users already have enough shame about productivity.

No account. No subscription. One-time $6.99 — less than 3 months of Tiimo Annual ($34.99/yr).

A look inside

What's inside

Visual time-bar countdown — A tall pill fills the top half of the session screen and visibly drains as time passes. ADHD-friendly time-blindness aid. Color shifts to amber in the final 20%.
One-tap park-this-thought — Big PARK button during every session. Tap → modal with text field + on-device dictation. Park and continue. No friction.
On-device dictation — Mic button uses SFSpeechRecognizer with requiresOnDeviceRecognition. No audio uploaded.
Triage inbox after session — Every parked thought becomes a card with three actions: Did it / Schedule for later / Discard. Scheduling presents a DatePicker.
Built-in body-doubling ambience — 5 procedurally-generated presets (cafe, library, rain, fire, brown noise) via AVAudioEngine. mixWithOthers so it layers with Spotify/YouTube.
Session history — Browse past sessions by date. Each shows duration, task title, parked-thought count. Tap to see all thoughts + their triage outcomes.

Why we built it

Every existing focus app — Tiimo, Sunsama, Focus Keeper, Forest, Pomodoro classics — treats the focus session as a closed box: you set a timer, you focus, you finish. But the actual reason ADHD focus sessions fail is the intrusive thought. 'Did I email Sarah?' arrives at minute 5 and you either (a) stop and lose 15…

What makes it different

OffRamp is the only iPhone focus timer that combines (a) one-tap thought parking during the session with a triage inbox after, (b) a visual time-bar (ADHD time-blindness aid, like Tiimo's planner but at the timer scope), (c) on-device procedurally-generated body-doubling ambience, (d) calm-not-gamified UX (no streaks,…

Who it's for
