Features

Three tools. One tab. No excuses.

Everything you need to start, stay in it, and finish — without switching apps.

✅

Kanban Board

A dead-simple three-column board. Add a task, drag it to Doing when you start, drop it in Done when you're finished.

  • Todo → Doing → Done
  • Drag-and-drop on desktop & mobile
  • One-tap task creation
  • Synced in real time across devices
🍅

Pomodoro Timer

25 minutes on, short break, repeat. The timer keeps running even if you switch tabs or refresh the page — your session is never lost.

  • Persists across tabs & page refreshes
  • Tracks session count (1 of 4)
  • Logs focus time automatically
  • Synced across all your devices
👥

Friends & Timeline

Add friends and watch each other work in real time. When someone finishes a task or completes a Pomodoro, it shows up in your feed instantly.

  • Live activity feed
  • Task completions & Pomodoro sessions
  • Daily streak tracking
  • Add anyone by user ID
How it works

Open it. Start. Finish.

No setup, no configuration. Just a loop that gets you moving.

1

Add your tasks

Drop everything on your mind into the Kanban board. Move what you're starting now to Doing.

2

Hit the timer

Press play. You get 25 minutes — the timer keeps ticking even if you close the tab or switch devices.

3

Finish and move on

When the session ends, drag the task to Done. Your friends see it happen in their timeline.

4

Come back tomorrow

Each day you complete a session extends your streak. Watching a friend's streak grow makes you want to grow yours.

Why it works

Accountability is the missing feature

Solo productivity tools are everywhere. niltimer adds the one thing they all leave out.

"I knew the Pomodoro technique worked in theory — I just never stuck with it. Having the Kanban right there means I always know what to run the timer on."

Sarah K.
Product Designer

"The timeline is subtle but it works. Seeing a friend finish a session at 9am makes me want to start mine. It's peer pressure in the best possible way."

D
David L.
Engineering Lead

"I was skeptical about the social part. But watching my co-founder's streak grow next to mine completely changed how we do deep work remotely."
