Write the thesis with your phone in another room.

Kiri is a focus timer that only runs on your laptop. Ninety-minute blocks with brown noise, a one-line note of what each block was for, and a weekly email that reads like a work diary. Press play; no account needed for the first block.

Free tier stays free. Everything else €29, once. No subscription.

Kiri runs on a desktop browser only. Email yourself the link from the bar above and open it on your laptop.

  • Blocks sized for chapters

    Twenty-five minutes is for email. Writing needs 50 or 90. Both are one click, with breaks that wait for you to come back.

  • A log a supervisor could read

    Type "Section 3.2 methods" before you start. Every block is saved with that line, and Sunday's email lists what you actually worked on.

  • No phone app, on purpose

    A large 2017 study found a phone on the desk lowers working memory even when it is off; later work found a smaller effect, not none. Kiri cannot follow you to the phone, so the phone can go to another room.

  • Pay once, if ever

    The timer, rain, brown noise and your log are free for good. Every sound and every future feature is one payment. No subscription on a stipend.
