Days fly by.

Busy is easy; noticing isn't. You are what you give attention to, and Efimera helps you see where it's going.

Three things. One timer. One day.

  1. Not a list

    Three things, and that's the hard cap — not a backlog, not a score. Everything else buzzing in your head has somewhere to go too: a brain dump for later, and a place to note what you're deliberately skipping today.

  2. A timer that ends

    Start it and work. It runs down and stops. There's no extending it and no second round to make up for the first.

  3. A sky that keeps moving

    The window tracks the real sun, dawn to dusk. You watch the day going instead of reading a number that tells you so.

How it helps you

  • A morning nudge

    Reminds you to write your three things, at a time you choose. The notification is yours to set — or turn off.

  • Widgets on every device

    Your three things and the current sky sit on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. Most days you won't need to open the app at all — which is rather the point.

  • An end to the day

    At the hour you choose, a notification says the day is over — done or not. Also customizable, also easy to turn off.

  • Focus timers with Do Not Disturb

    Start a timer and Do Not Disturb comes on with it. When the timer stops, so does the silence — no separate switch to remember.

What Efimera won't do

Anything that turns a finite day into a score sheet is missing on purpose.

  • No streaks
  • No score
  • No percent complete
  • No time tracking
  • No nudges to come back
  • No account

You get about four thousand weeks.

This is one day of one of them. Efimera is the app that agrees with you about that.

Questions

Why only three things?

Because a fourth thing is usually a way of avoiding a decision about the first three. Three is enough to matter and few enough to actually finish.

What happens if I don't finish?

The day ends anyway, finished or not. Efimera doesn't carry anything over or mark it incomplete — tomorrow, you choose three things again.

Does Efimera track streaks or time spent?

No. No streaks, no scores, no percent complete, no history to feel behind on. Efimera only ever shows you today.

Do I need an account?

No. Efimera doesn't ask for one, and there's nothing to sync to a server — your three things stay on your device.

Can I turn off the notifications?

Yes. The morning nudge and the evening wrap-up are both optional and both timed by you, in Settings.
