App Store Description

Beat procrastination with science-backed micro-commitments

FirstFive transforms overwhelming tasks into gentle 5-minute starts. Based on research from Tim Pychyl's Procrastination Lab and the Zeigarnik Effect, our pressure-free timer helps you bypass emotional resistance and build natural momentum.

Why 5 minutes works:
• 90% of people continue interrupted tasks (Zeigarnik Effect)
• Micro-commitments reduce procrastination more than traditional methods
• No pressure = no fight-or-flight response blocking productivity
• Perfect for ADHD, autism spectrum, and anxiety-sensitive users

Features:
• Countdown to zero, then counts up indefinitely
• No harsh alarms or forced stops
• 5 beautiful themes with smooth animations
• Gentle completion celebration with smile
• Works with your natural rhythms, not against them

Transform "I can't start" into "I'll just do 5 minutes" and watch momentum build naturally.
