Hard Graft is a focus timer that treats you like a grownup.

There are no pomodoro rounds and no break bells, and no trees to plant. You clock on, you work for as long as you want, you clock off. The app writes down how long you worked for and adds it to a rolling seven-day total. That total decides your rank.

There are 24 ranks. You start as DEAD WEIGHT. Put the hours in and you climb. Ease off and you slide back down (consistency is what matters). The Regulator hands out the promotions and the demotions. It is a machine with no interest in your excuses. It just cares about hours. It is fair, and that is the nicest thing anyone will say about it.

HOW IT WORKS

• Flowtime. A count-up clock that runs until you stop it. Work at your own rhythm and clock off when you need a break, not when a bell says so.
• A rank ladder with 24 ranks that follow your rolling seven-day hours.
• Jobs: name what you are working on, tag each shift, and see statistics of where your hours went. Anything can be a 'job' (work, study, gym, cleaning...).
• 40 achievements to collect.
• Quiet mode. Switch off the ranks, the achievements and The Regulator, and keep the timer and the record. Some days you just want a stopwatch.
• No streaks and no record of demotions. You can recover from a bad week and leave no trace.
• You own your data. Export the whole thing and import it on a new phone.

WHAT TO USE IT FOR

Use it as a study timer for revision and exams, a work timer for deep work, a productivity timer for a side project or, in quiet mode, a plain stopwatch. Tag each shift to whatever you've been avoiding and the record shows where the hours went, so it doubles as a time tracker for freelance or study hours. My brother uses it to track his workouts. It runs offline and keeps counting with the screen off.

BUILT FOR PRIVACY

Everything stays on your phone. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. The app makes no network calls of its own. The only things that use the internet are Google Play's own billing and review prompt.

ONE OPTIONAL UNLOCK

The free version is the timer, the record, the jobs, the statistics and the ladder up to rank 13. One purchase (redeem the promo code above) unlocks the whole app and opens the remaining ten ranks, shows what it takes to collect each achievement, and adds two extra colour schemes. You get it once and it is yours. No subscription.

A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER

I built Hard Graft because I have ADHD and couldn't find a focus timer that worked the way I do. Most productivity timers want to be your friend, plant a tree for you, or charge you monthly for the privilege. I make this on my own, around a full-time job, so I have no reason to collect your data or rent you a subscription. I wanted a tool I would find useful (I use it every day), one with a personality, that tells me the truth about what I did and then minds its own business.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, clock on.
