Cancelling costs nothing
No tree is removed and no streak breaks. The clearing stays exactly as it was.
Focus timer for macOS
Make your focus visible.
A native Mac focus timer that grows a forest on your desktop. Start a session from the menu bar; every one you finish plants a tree that stays there.
Free private beta · macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon
Runs quietly behind your desktop icons.
How it grows
One finished session.
One tree that stays.
The clearing fills in the order you worked. Nothing is rearranged later.

Waldlichtung.
A forest clearing that fills as you work. Each tree family gives it a different character.
When a clearing is full, it moves to your archive and a new one begins.
How it behaves
Your progress stays.
Work gets interrupted. Nothing you’ve grown depends on a streak.
No blocking, no tracking
WELTEN never blocks apps or sites and doesn’t know which app is in front. It only knows whether a timer finished.
Everything stays local
Sessions, projects and worlds are stored on your Mac. No account, no sync, no upload.
