Protect your
deep work.
Cadence is a calm focus timer for makers who are tired of fighting their own attention. It blocks the noise, learns your rhythm, and helps you actually ship — one session at a time.
// free at launch · no credit card · ~600 makers waiting
You don't have a discipline problem.
You have an interruption problem.
Every ping, tab, and "quick check" costs you 20 minutes of momentum you never get back. Generic timers just count down — they don't guard the one thing that makes great work possible: uninterrupted time. So the day ends and the important thing is still unstarted.
A timer that defends your attention for you.
Cadence isn't another to-do list. It's a focus companion that turns "I should concentrate" into a system that runs itself — so starting is effortless and finishing is normal.
- Rhythm-aware sessions — it adapts session length to how you actually work, not a rigid 25/5.
- Quiet mode — mutes notifications and greys the world while you're in.
- Gentle re-entry — lost focus? Cadence eases you back instead of shaming you.
Made by one maker who needed it first.
Cadence is being built in public — every design decision shared with the waitlist. No VC, no growth hacks. Just a tool shaped by the people who'll actually use it.
Focus in three quiet steps.
Set your intent
One line: what are you here to do? Cadence turns it into a single, protected session.
Press start
Distractions go quiet, the ring begins, and the world waits. Your only job is the work.
Ride your rhythm
Cadence learns when you fade and suggests breaks — so tomorrow starts easier than today.
Everything to protect the work. Nothing to distract from it.
Distraction shield
Silences notifications and dims noisy apps the moment a session starts — so you get 40 real minutes, not 40 interrupted ones.
Adaptive rhythm
Learns your natural focus length and paces breaks around it — you finish more without burning out.
Momentum you can see
A calm daily view of deep-work hours and streaks — proof you're moving, without turning it into a game.
Kind by design
Miss a session? No red numbers, no guilt. Cadence just helps you start the next one.
Keyboard-first
Start, pause, and log without touching the mouse — it stays out of your flow.
Private by default
Your focus data is yours. No ads, no trackers, no selling your attention back to you.
Be first — and get it free.
Join the waitlist and you'll get early access before launch, a say in what we build, and Cadence free for life as a founding user.
No spam, ever. One email when early access opens — then it's yours.Good to know
Is Cadence really free?
Yes — early-access members get Cadence free for life. When we add paid pro features later, founding users keep the core app free, permanently.
When does it launch?
We're building in public and rolling out to the waitlist in batches. Join now and you'll be in one of the first — the earlier you join, the sooner you're in.
What platforms will it support?
Cadence launches on macOS and Windows desktop first, with a companion mobile app to follow. Waitlist members vote on what comes next.
How is this different from a Pomodoro timer?
Pomodoro forces a fixed 25/5 on everyone. Cadence adapts to your real rhythm, actively blocks distractions, and never shames you for a missed session.
What do you do with my data?
Nothing you don't ask for. No ads, no trackers, no selling data. Your focus history stays private to you.
Your best work is one uninterrupted session away.
