Watch the time you have left.

Name a task, pick when it’s due today, and light the candle. It melts in real time until the deadline: in the app, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

The candle’s height is the time left.

No numbers to read unless you want them. One task, one candle, and a deadline later today.

  1. The New candle sheet: a Task field, quick picks for 3 pm, 4 pm, 5 pm and End of day, and a Light candle button.

    Name it, pick a time

    Type what you’re working on and add a note if it helps. Choose a quick pick or any minute up to 11:59 pm.

  2. A candle burning in its alcove. The brass plaque reads Finish grant proposal, 2:00 to 3:00 pm, 36 min left.

    Watch it burn

    The candle melts in real time. The plaque keeps the task in view; switch on the countdown if you want the minutes too.

  3. The candle blown out with a thin line of smoke. The plaque reads Done 2:36 pm, 24 min early, with an Undo option.

    Put it out when you’re done

    Tap Task done and the candle is blown out. The plaque records whether you were early, on time or late.

It keeps burning when you leave the app.

A Live Activity puts the candle on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with the countdown and how much time is used. Add ten minutes or mark the task done without opening the app.

iOS ends Live Activities after 8 hours. For longer candles the app tells you when you light it, and still reminds you at the deadline.

The compact Dynamic Island: a small flame on the left and a 13:04 countdown on the right.The expanded Dynamic Island: a mini alcove, the task, a 13:04 countdown, a progress bar, and +10 min and Task done buttons.
The Lock Screen at 2:47 with a Live Activity: Finish grant proposal, due 3:00 pm, 13:04 left, with +10 min and Task done buttons.

Every ending is allowed.

Finished early, ran out of time, changed your mind: the plaque records what happened and nothing more.

“No problem. Relight it to keep going, with the task and note already filled in.”

Made to be calm.

A quiet flame
Choose a calm flicker or a still flame. With Reduce Motion on, the flame holds still; the wax still melts.
Time’s up, gently
At the deadline the flame gutters out. Add time, mark it done, or say you didn’t finish.
Built for everyone
VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Increase Contrast throughout, with text that meets WCAG AA contrast.
One at a time
Only one candle burns at once, so there’s never a list to manage.

Light one for your next task.
