About Us
Made in CanadaKinetic is a distraction-free Pomodoro timer for focused work. No dashboards to configure, no gamification, no feed to scroll. Just a timer, your categories, and your tasks.
It’s local-first by design: the timer and your tasks run entirely in your browser, and work without an account. Signing in is free and adds sub-tasks, your focus stats and a month of history, and backs all of it up to your account.
Kinetic is built and maintained by a single indie developer. It’s a tool built to be used daily, so it’s shaped by real feedback rather than a roadmap decided in advance. See the Q&A for how to send some.
Built in Canada, independently
Kinetic is made in Ontario by one Canadian developer. No investors, no growth team. Your focus history stays yours: it lives in your browser first, and you can delete your account and everything in it yourself, whenever you want.
Hosting and backups currently run on servers in the United States. The full list of services that touch your data is on the privacy page.
Why it matters
The average time people spend on a screen before switching tasks has been falling for two decades. Kinetic exists to push back on that curve, one session at a time.
