A Pomodoro timer for writing
Rooms to get work done.
Pick how long you want to work and what you want to look at while you do it. A flip clock in a field of flowers, or a candle on a black screen.
Work until the candle runs out.
Set the block, light the candle, and work. It burns down while you do. When the wax is gone, you are done. The numbers sit under the candle, or you can hide them.
Use Inka
Not just candles.
A ring that empties, an hourglass, a flip clock, an LED readout, a record that spins. Pick the one you want to look at for the next hour. Each one sits on black, on white, or on the room you are in.
Use Inka
Questions
Is the timer free?
Blocks up to 25 minutes and the open-ended timer are free. Longer blocks, up to three hours, are Pro.
What happens when the block ends?
Inka asks if you need a break: 5, 10 or 30 minutes. It moves you to a quieter room, then brings you back to your words. Turn on Repeat with breaks and it keeps going on its own.
Can I use the candle for a long session?
Yes. Set three hours and it burns for three hours. The wax runs down the sides as it goes, so you can see it getting shorter the whole way.
Does the timer work without writing?
Yes. Press Study and the clock takes the room. You do not have to type a word.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once Inka has loaded on that device.
Light the candle.
Pick a block, pick a room, work until it runs out.
A clock on its own page, with no room around it: writing sprint timer. For a daily pace: words per day calculator.
