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 Timer protects your focused hours. The Habit Tracker holds the days between. Two small tools, no noise. If they help you live a little more deliberately, they did their job.
- Michal, Quiet Control
"The mission is simple - tools and know-how to live meaningful lives."
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 two tools show what you actually did - by hour and by day. No nudges, no shame, just the truth on a quiet screen.
How it works
Two simple workflows
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 report with the full picture.
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.
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.
Where we 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. No upsell modals. The occasional email when something new ships - never to drag you back. Quiet by design.
What people say
From people who actually use it
"Two weeks in and I realized I'd been wildly overestimating my focus time 😅 The Monday digest landed like a reality check. Now I plan my days around what I actually do, not what I wish I did."
"Bounced between three other Pomodoro apps last year and none of them stuck. Eight weeks on this one and the tab still hasn't closed. Tagging sessions by chapter rewired how I think about my thesis time."
"ok i was super skeptical of yet another timer app but the categories thing got me. been on it for like 5 weeks? maybe 6. seeing 'coding' vs 'meetings disguised as coding' was kinda brutal lol"
"First time I've been honest with myself about how much I actually write vs how much I think about writing. The heatmap was a wake-up call ✨ mornings are gold, evenings are wishful thinking."
"Came back from a year of burnout and could not hold focus for 25 minutes if my life depended on it. Started with 15-minute sessions. Six weeks in, I'm back to 50-minute deep work. Watching the numbers tick up each week is what kept me coming back."

FAQ
Common questions
Getting started
Absolutely. Both tools are free forever, no account or credit card needed - just open them and start. Pro adds deeper tracking and analytics on top, and 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 two separate tools sharing one account and one philosophy. Use whichever fits your day - or both. 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 - one click, no questions asked. You keep Pro until the end of your billing period. We also offer a full refund within 7 days of your first payment. If you cancel, 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. We don't sell it, share it, or use it 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.
