Curo is a focus timer built around the parts of working that ADHD actually makes hard — knowing how much time has gone, facing one step instead of a list, and having somewhere to put the thought that just interrupted you.
macOS 14 or later · iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later
Six things, each aimed at a specific failure mode.
The countdown lives in the Mac menu bar and on the iPhone Lock Screen, so it's there when you glance — you never have to go and look for it. The digits sit inside a ring that empties, because a shape that's visibly two-thirds gone tells you where you are without doing arithmetic about it.
When the planned time is up the timer keeps counting — +3:12 — instead of stopping. In amber, never red. Sometimes the right move is to keep going, and an app can't know which time this is.
Type a rough breakdown, one line each, and Curo shows exactly one of them. The rest are kept and hidden. A step you can't face goes to the back with "Later" — without being deleted or lied about.
Press ⌥⌘Space anywhere on the Mac, or ask Siri on iPhone, and a one-line field takes whatever just interrupted you. It's out of your head in two seconds, and the queue waits on its own screen until you go looking — not while you're working.
A streak that survives an empty today and only breaks after a whole day passes. A fortnight's chart that draws the blank days instead of quietly closing the gaps. Sessions logged with focused time and wall-clock time side by side: 38 min focused across 71 min at the desk.
Elapsed time is read from timestamps, not counted up by a ticking clock, so a session survives the Mac sleeping, the phone locking, or the app being killed. Quit mid-session, reopen an hour later, and the clock has moved on exactly as it should have.
The same session, its record, and the parked queue.
The timer is free and stays free. The subscription buys history, nothing else.
Sessions are recorded whether or not you subscribe, and nothing is ever deleted to make a point — unsubscribing hides older history, it does not destroy it. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. See the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
