Sagat

Focus timer for iPhone

Time, accounted for.

Sagat keeps an honest ledger of your day — Work, Break, Free Time and Time Debt — as facts, never as a grade.

The ledger

Four kinds of time, kept as facts.

Most timers count minutes and stop there. Sagat records what each minute was — so at the end of the day you can see where it went, without anyone keeping score.

A sample day

  • Work

    2h 15m

    The block you set out to do: 25 minutes, 50, or a length of your own. Give it a project, or don’t.

  • Break

    32m

    Planned rest between blocks. Start the next block of work straight from it.

  • Free Time

    47m

    Minutes you earn by focusing, yours to spend on anything.

  • Time Debt

    12m

    When you drift, the minutes are written down, not punished. Work past the end of a session and they’re paid back.

Reliable

A timer that can’t drift.

Sagat doesn’t count seconds. It stores two moments — when a block started and when it ends — and works out what’s left whenever you look.

So it’s right after you lock your phone, take a call, or force-quit the app. There is no clock ticking in the background to go wrong.

Everywhere

Lives where you look.

The running block sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, drawn by iOS from its start and end — so it keeps counting when the app is closed.

  • Live ActivityPause, resume, or start the next block from the Lock Screen.
  • Dynamic IslandThe countdown, always one glance away.
  • WidgetsToday’s totals on the Home Screen and Lock Screen.

Stay in the flow

Protect the block.

Three quiet ways to keep the next stretch of work yours.

Alerts that get through

The end-of-block alert is Time Sensitive, so it reaches you through a Focus — unless you’ve turned that off for the app.

Quiet mode

Start Work and Sagat runs a Shortcut you made, handing it the length of the block — so your own Focus can turn on for exactly that long.

App blocking Pro

Pick the apps, categories and sites that wait until Work is done. It runs on Apple’s Screen Time, so Sagat never learns which ones you chose.

You can turn it off any time in Settings → Screen Time.

Timeline

Your day, in one line.

See any day, week, month or year — filter by project, tap a figure, zoom in to the exact block. Every total is read from the same log, so they always add up.

Then look ahead. Give Plan the day a window, like 10:00 to 18:00, and it shows how many whole sessions fit and how the rest divides into Break and Free Time.

Private by design

Your time is yours.

Sagat has no account, no ads and no analytics on how you use it. What you record stays on your iPhone.

Stays on your iPhone

Sessions, projects and settings live in storage only Sagat and its widget can read. There are no servers to send them to.

Purchases only

The one outside service is RevenueCat, which checks whether Pro is active. It sees a random ID, your purchase status and basic device details — never your sessions.

Blind by design

App blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time. iOS hands Sagat anonymous tokens, so it can’t see which apps you chose.
