You don’t need a perfect plan, a better mood or another free hour. You need a smaller way in.
That’s what Clock In is for.
How it works
Your task. Your time.
- 01
Choose a task.
Name what you want to work on. If it feels too big, Make this smaller asks you to write a first action, such as opening the document and writing a heading.
- 02
Set your timer.
Choose your own duration with Gentle, a 25-minute Pomodoro, a 60-minute Deep session, or Open with no target. Three minutes is just one option.
- 03
Pause without guilt.
Take a five-minute break or park a stray thought without leaving the session. Your session waits, and coming back counts.
- 04
Clock out. It counts.
Finished or not, the time you gave is saved to your private Log. Clock In measures showing up, not perfection.

Choose your session length.
Gentle lets you choose from 3 to 90 minutes. Pomodoro is 25, Deep is 60, and Open runs without a target.
-
9:41
Park the thought.
Capture a stray distraction without leaving your session. It stays private, ready for later.
-
9:41
Share on your terms.
Only me, Selected or My crew. You choose before every session, and pauses are never shared.
-
9:41
Start at the same time.
Plan a start with someone in your Crew. They can say “I’ll be there” or “Not this time,” and each of you clocks out whenever you’re ready.
-
9:41
Less setup, more starting.
Save reusable starts to Home. They never begin on their own, and privacy is always your call.

Make Bo yours.
Four coats, always included, and little wearables you earn simply by showing up.

Crew · optional
Company, not surveillance.
Some people find it easier to start when someone they trust is quietly there, often called body doubling. Share a session and your Crew sees you’ve started and can send a quiet signal. No cameras, no feeds, no strangers.
- Invitations are made for one person and expire after seven days
- Plan a start together; nobody needs to finish at the same time
- You decide, per connection, whether task titles are visible
- Signals never vibrate or cover your timer
- Mute, remove, block or report anyone, anytime

Private insights
Patterns, not scores.
Learn when starting feels easier, how you feel afterward and how often you come back after a pause. Calculated on your device from your own history, and never compared with anyone else’s.
- No rankings, no leaderboards
- Insight results are never sent to analytics

Your Log
Every start, kept.
Each session gets a receipt: your time, your pauses, your returns and any encouragement. Add a private reflection if you like. History is for remembering effort, not grading it.
- A day away does not erase what you built
- Export your data whenever you want
Meet Bo
Quiet company, not pressure.
Bo stays beside you while the clock runs. No guilt trips, no sad faces, no lost progress. Just a small, fluffy reason to begin.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Clock In: With Bo?
Clock In: With Bo is a personal focus timer for iPhone. Choose a task, set a timer and focus while Bo, a companion character, keeps you company. Sessions are private by default, and you can choose to share one with a small Crew of people you trust.
Is Clock In a work time clock or employee time tracker?
No. Despite the name, Clock In is a personal focus app. It has no employer dashboards, attendance or payroll features. “Clocking in” simply means starting a focus session for yourself.
When can I download Clock In?
The iPhone app is being prepared for release, and no release date has been announced. Join the waitlist and you’ll get one email when it’s available on the App Store.
How much will Clock In cost?
Pricing will be shown on the App Store listing at release. In the app, Bo’s four coats and every milestone wearable are included. Any optional cosmetic collections for Bo are one-time purchases that never change timers, insights or what Crew can see.
Do I need an account to use Clock In?
Not to focus. You can run private sessions, park distractions, add reflections and see insights without signing in. An account is only needed to sync across devices and to connect with a Crew.
What is body doubling, and does Clock In support it?
Body doubling means working on your own task while someone else is present, which some people find makes starting easier. Clock In’s optional Crew offers a camera-free version: people you trust can see that you’ve started, only when you share that session, and can send a quiet signal. Research on body doubling is still limited, so Clock In doesn’t promise results.
Do I have to finish the whole task?
No. A session records the time you gave to something, not whether it’s finished. Clock out whenever you’re ready. Clock In measures showing up, not perfection.
How long are Clock In focus sessions?
Gentle is the flexible-length option: choose a target from 3 to 90 minutes. Pomodoro uses 25 minutes, Deep uses 60 minutes, and Open runs without a target. Three minutes is the default for a new session, not a required session length. For timed sessions, the timer counts down to your target, then counts any extra time. You can pause or clock out whenever you choose.
Does Clock In block other apps?
No. Clock In doesn’t block apps or ask for Screen Time access. It gives you a personal focus timer, private notes and optional accountability from your Crew. You can pause or clock out whenever you choose.
What can people in my Crew see?
Only the sessions you choose to share with them, and the task title only if you allow it for that connection. Pauses, private notes, reflections, parked distractions and unshared tasks are never visible to Crew.
Can I plan a focus session with a friend?
Yes, once they’re in your Crew. With Start Together you name the start, pick a time (in 15 minutes, in an hour or tomorrow) and a shared starting target. They can say they’ll be there or not this time, and they see only that you invited them, never who else was asked. Each of you controls your own session and privacy, and nobody needs to finish at the same time.
Is Clock In a medical app or an ADHD treatment?
No. Clock In is a productivity app, not a medical device or treatment, and it makes no clinical claims. It’s designed for anyone who finds starting hard, for whatever reason.
What happens to my data in Clock In?
Sessions start private, insights are calculated on your device, and there’s no advertising or cross-app tracking. Anonymous usage sharing is off unless you turn it on. You can export your data or delete your account from Settings in the app.
