Most focus timers end with a number. TimeCarver turns your focus into stone sculptures. Choose a stone and set a timer (1 min to 3 h) to carve a raw block into 1 of 48 mystery pieces, revealed when time's up. Leave for over 10 seconds and your stone cracks, though calls and locked screens never count. Free on iOS and Android. A one-time Patron upgrade unlocks Hard Lock app blocking, 5 more stones, 25 rare sculptures, layered sounds, and kintsugi gold repair. No account, no ads, no tracking.
