A system for moving toward what you actually want
Take back your
hours and your days.
A Focus Timer, a Habit Tracker, and a Vision Journal. Three small tools, built by one person, that together become a system - so you can see where your hours go, whether your days hold together, and if it's all moving you toward the life you actually want.

"I could finally see how much time each subject actually got while studying for finals."
No ads. No data harvesting. No dark patterns. No notifications begging you back. A system to help you reach your goals - not a hook to keep you here.
What you get
Three tools, one quiet system
A note from Michal
Most apps are built to grab your attention. Quiet Control is built to give it back. The mission is simple - give people the tools and know-how to live meaningful lives, not louder ones.
The Focus Timer protects your hours. The Habit Tracker holds the days between. The Vision Journal keeps both pointed at what actually matters.
Together they're a system - so I know if I'm focused, if what I'm doing is the right thing, and if the small steps I take every day are building momentum toward what I actually want. If these three tools help you do the same, they did their job.

Chapter 1 - Why this matters
You can't improve what you don't measure
Time at the computer is not the same as deep work - it often blurs into content, tab switching, messages, and distractions. The Timer protects the hours you give to focus. The Habit Tracker holds the days between.
Time at the computer is not deep work
You think you worked 8 hours but real focus was maybe 2. The Timer shows the gap between feeling busy and actually being productive.
A great day means nothing if it does not repeat
Single wins fade. Routines compound. The Habit Tracker turns small daily actions into a pattern you can see and protect.
What you measure, you improve
Together, the three tools show what you actually did and where it's heading - by hour, by day, and by direction. No nudges, no shame, just the truth on a quiet screen.

Chapter 2 - How it works
Three tools. One system.
Focus Timer
1
Hit start and focus
Open the timer, begin a 25-minute session. No signup, no setup. Pro adds categories and session notes.
2
See where your hours go
Quick stats today. Pro unlocks daily charts, heatmaps, and a weekly email covering both focus and habits.
Habit Tracker
3
Pick a template or add your own
Six starter packs get you going in one tap. Set a per-week target you can actually hit.
4
Tap a day, build a streak
One tap per habit per day. Rest days count as planned recovery, not a broken streak.
Vision Journal
5
Close the day in two minutes
Score the day, note what you're grateful for and what could be better, and answer one good question.
6
Keep it pointed at what matters
Set your north star once. Every day quietly checks against it. Pro adds a mood trend and monthly recap.
How people use Quiet Control
Built for how you actually work and live
💻
Developers
Track deep coding vs everything else - meetings, reviews, Slack. See your real focused hours each day and protect them. The hours grow as you protect them.
📚
Students
Tag sessions by subject and see real study hours per topic. Four focused hours beats eight distracted ones - and the weekly view shows which subjects got the time and which got skipped.
🏠
Remote workers
Days blur together when you work from home. The weekly report breaks down what you actually did, so you can plan the next week around real patterns instead of wishful ones.
✍️
Freelancers & creators
Track client work and personal projects separately with categories. Session notes replace the time-logging spreadsheet. At month-end you know exactly where every hour went.
🌱
Anyone playing the long game
Three daily habits kept up for weeks instead of days. Small steps compound when you can see the streak build. The Habit Tracker holds the days while the Timer protects the hours.
🔄
Anyone tired of streaks
Most habit apps punish a missed day. This one lets you mark a planned rest day - the streak stays alive, and you stop quitting after a single off day.
Chapter 3 - Where I stand
What Quiet Control is NOT
Not built to keep you hooked
No streak shame. No nudges. No dark patterns. Open it when you need it, close it when you are done.
Not a startup chasing metrics
One person. No investors. No DAU targets. The product does not need to grow at all costs - it just needs to work.
Not your new home screen
No engagement quota. No "come back" pings. The tool works the same whether you visit daily or barely think about it.
Not in your inbox unless it matters
No popups. The occasional email when something new ships - never to drag you back. Quiet by design.
Not trying to be permanent
The point isn't more time in the app. The point is for your focus and habits to become so familiar that you barely think about either. The app's job is to help you build the habit - then step out of the way.
What people say
From people who actually use it
★★★★★
"I used it a lot while studying for my final exams - tracking how much time I put into each subject and each set of practice questions, and taking real breaks so I could actually rest and then focus on the next block. Now I use it to see whether I'm really spending my time on what I want to. I still catch myself scrolling sometimes - but at least now I can see it."
★★★★★
"For someone who works at a computer all day, this is great. I set up my own 50/10 study blocks for exam period, and I like that it counts my sessions and pings me the moment time's up and it's time for a break. With the history broken down by category, the tracking is genuinely useful - and the logo and whole design are clean too. I even added it to my iPhone home screen."

FAQ
Common questions
Getting started
Absolutely. All three tools are free forever, no account or credit card needed - just open them and start. Pro adds deeper tracking and analytics on top - and cloud sync, so your focus, habits, and reflections follow you across every device. You can try every Pro feature free for 3 days.
A regular timer just counts down. This tracks what you actually did with that time. With Pro, every session gets tagged with a category and an optional note. Over days and weeks, you build a clear picture of where your hours go - broken down by activity, visualized in charts and heatmaps, and delivered to your inbox every Monday.
Yes. They are three separate tools sharing one account and one philosophy. Use whichever fits your day - or all three. They work independently.
Nothing. The streak counter forgives a single miss as long as you come back the next day. The bigger risk is missing twice in a row - that is when the brain starts treating not-doing-it as the new normal. Show up, even small.
Pricing
You get 3 days of full Pro access - every feature, no limits. You won't be charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime before that and you pay nothing. Most people see the value within the first few sessions once they start seeing their patterns.
Cancel anytime from Profile & settings. I'll ask one optional question to help improve the product - or hit Cancel subscription to skip and cancel right away. You keep Pro until the end of your billing period. Full refund within 14 days of your first payment. After cancellation, the free timer still works and your data stays safe. You can export everything as CSV before downgrading.
Privacy & device
Yes to both. Install it as an app on iOS (Share > Add to Home Screen) or Android/desktop (browser install prompt). It works fully offline - sessions save locally and sync to the cloud when you're back online with Pro. You can also embed it directly inside Notion.
Your data belongs to you. It's never sold, shared, or used for ads - there are no ads anywhere. Everything is stored securely on Google Cloud. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Profile & settings.
Free guides

🎯
Deep Focus
