Is this made for ADHD?

Yes, we designed it specifically for ADHD brains. It helps most on the days you know exactly what to do but can't make yourself start, and the hours slip into random rabbit holes. It works for anyone who gets distracted easily, but every detail, from the one-flip start to the time you can see, is built around research on executive dysfunction.

What can I use it for?

Anything you keep putting off: studying, emails, cleaning, laundry, workouts, creative projects or even getting out the door on time. You can flip it to 5 to start, or 60 when you're ready to go deep.

Is it loud?

Only if you want it to be. A switch sets the alert to mute, vibrate, low or loud. Vibrate works for libraries, offices and shared desks.

What do the four faces mean?

Each face is a timer: 5 minutes to start, 10 to sprint, 30 to work, 60 to go deep. Flip a number up and the countdown starts.

Screen-up pauses and then you can flip it up again to keep going. Screen-down resets the timer. If you need a different time, manual mode sets anything up to 99:59.

What's included?

The Unpaused Cube and a charging cable. It's rechargeable (500 mAh, no batteries needed) and palm-sized at 44 mm.

30 Day Money-Back Guarantee

Use it for 30 days. If it doesn't help you start, email us for a full refund.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping to Canada and the US. Refunds are covered by the 30-day guarantee above: just email us.

Getting Started Finally Feels Easy

★★★★★

"I've been using the Unpaused cube for about a month now, and the change I've felt in my consistency is remarkable. I bought it because getting started on anything was a real struggle for me but now I just flip it over for five minutes to start studying or clean my desk and suddenly I'm hyperfocused on what I'm doing. Longer sessions like 60 or 90 minutes have gotten way easier too. I feel like I've finally found something that actually works for my ADHD brain."

FINALLY OFF MY PHONE!

★★★★★

"I tried a bunch of focus apps and my phone timer, but every time I unlocked my phone to help me start studying, I'd end up on TikTok for hours. This actually works for me though because I flip the cube, and I don't have to worry about notifications now that my phone is outside my room. My screen time's also way down since getting it. This was such a good investment."

MY LIST IS ACTUALLY DONE!

★★★★★

"Between classes and my part time job, my to do list never seemed to end. I use the cube every day now and now my todo is almost always crossed off before bed. I used to leave things until the night before and end up rushing assignments at 2am it got me completely drained and every time I'd swear it would be the last time I do this. Now I can close my laptop without that pit in my stomach and since nothing's left hanging over me I can finally relax."

Why Starting Feels Physically Painful

You know what to do. You still can't start. Blame the Starting Tax: every step between you and the task.

And step one is usually unlocking your phone. That's the Phone Trap, where afternoons disappear. ADHD expert Dr. Russell Barkley's advice: make time visible "at the point of performance." The cube puts it on your desk, one flip from started.

The Simple Flip-to-Start System

Step 1: One Flip = Started

Flip a number face up and the countdown starts. No unlocking, no app, no picking a time. The flip is the decision, so the hardest part of your day takes one motion and no willpower.

Step 2: Time You Can See

The countdown sits by your keyboard, in the corner of your eye. You see time moving without checking your phone, so 5 minutes feels like 5 minutes and the afternoon stops slipping away.

This is why people get going from their very first flip.

Get Your Afternoons Back

Whatever you've been avoiding, one flip gets you started, and the starts add up.

Finally Started

First flip

You start the thing you've been avoiding
Your phone stays out of reach
5 minutes turns into 30
Nothing to set up or learn

Goodbye Lost Afternoons

1–2 weeks

Starting stops feeling like a fight
Fewer afternoons lost to scrolling
You flip it without thinking
Your to-do list actually shrinks

Procrastination Guilt, GONE

3–8 weeks

It's still on your desk a month later
You trust yourself to start
You rest without the guilt
Deadlines stop sneaking up on you

The Unpaused Advantage

Here's why this is the timer that stays out of the drawer:

No Manual Needed

One flip is the whole learning curve. No app to download, no account to make. Take it out of the box, flip it, and you've started.

4 Preset Faces

5, 10, 30 or 60. You never stop to choose a time, so there's nothing to decide before you begin. Want longer blocks? Manual mode goes up to 99:59.

Silent Vibrate Mode

Switch to vibrate and it buzzes quietly when time's up. Made for libraries, open offices and shared desks. Prefer sound? Pick low or loud.

USB-C Rechargeable

No batteries to buy or forget. Charge it over USB-C. The screen flashes when it drops under 10%, so you get a heads-up before it runs out.

Palm-Sized at 44 mm

Sits right by your keyboard, where you'll actually see it. Small enough to toss in your bag for the library.

Four Faces. Zero Decisions.

Choosing how long to work is one more step your brain can stall on. So the cube already chose for you:

5 = Just Start

Small enough to start on your worst day. Most days you will keep going.

10 or 30 = Sprint or Deep Work

10 to clear emails and chores. 30 when you're ready to really dig in.

60 = Hyperfocus With an Exit

Go deep and still don't forget to eat. The buzz pulls you back out.

How The Unpaused Cube Works

Flip a number face up and that countdown starts right away. Turn the screen up to pause. Turn the screen down to reset. When time's up, it buzzes or beeps, your choice, for one minute.

Unpaused does what your phone timer can't:

• Phone timer: Unlock, see a notification, and your whole day is suddenly gone

• The Unpaused Cube: Flip it and you've started. Nothing to unlock, nothing to scroll on

★★★★★

"Good for working ADHD Moms! Easy to charge and lasts a few days. Very helpful if you have zero time awareness like me."

Start the Thing – Just 5 Minutes

1. Place

Put it next to your keyboard, somewhere you'll see it without turning your head. Your phone goes in another room, or at least out of arm's reach.

2. Flip

Turn the 5 face up. The countdown's running, and so are you. Pick the one task you've been avoiding and do the first tiny bit.

3. Decide

When it buzzes, you choose. On a roll? Flip again. Done? Stop with zero guilt. Either way, you started.

A Timer That Works Without the Phone That Steals Your Day

For the Best Results...

We want your first flip to stick.
Follow these simple guidelines to get the most from your cube:

DO's

Keep it in sight – right next to your keyboard
Start with 5 – even on good days, it's the easiest win
Put your phone in another room – or at least out of arm's reach
Flip again when it buzzes – if you're in a flow state keep going
Use 10 for emails and chores – short sprints make boring stuff bearable

DONT's

Don't hide it in a drawer – out of sight is out of mind
Don't force a strict Pomodoro technique – follow your own flow
Don't start with 60 on a bad day – flip it to 5 and let it grow
Don’t skip your breaks – even after a 90-minute flow, a 5 minute break keeps things easy

Answers to Your Questions

Why can't I just use Siri or my phone timer?

You could, but your timer lives right next to TikTok, your texts and every notification. One quick check and your afternoon’s gone. Research even shows that just having your phone on your desk drains your focus, even when it’s face-down. The cube only has one job: flip it and get to work.

What if I stop using it after a week?

That's why we kept things simple when designing the cube. There's nothing to set up or remember, so keeping the habit is just keeping it in sight. And if it doesn't help within 30 days, you get your money back.

Will it bother my roommates or coworkers?

Not on vibrate. It buzzes quietly when time's up, so it works in libraries, open offices and shared rooms. Home alone? Switch it to low or loud.

Can I pause it?

Yes. Stand it screen-up to pause, and set it back down to keep going where you left off. It’s perfect for quick interruptions like a doorbell or a text you really need to answer.

Why only four times?

Because choosing is one more step your brain can stall on, so the presets choose for you. Once you're in a groove, manual mode sets any time up to 99:59, so 25-minute sprints or 90-minute deep-work blocks work too.

How do I charge it?

Plug it in with USB-C. It runs on a 500 mAh rechargeable battery, so no AAAs. The screen flashes under 10% to tell you it's time.

How big is it?

44 × 44 × 46 mm. It fits in your palm, sits beside your keyboard and slips into a backpack for the library.

Is this for ADHD?

Yes. We designed it specifically for ADHD brains. It helps most on the days you know exactly what to do but can’t make yourself start, and the hours slip away into random rabbit holes. It works for anyone who gets distracted easily, but every detail, from the one-flip start to the time you can see, is built around research on executive dysfunction.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Then it's free. Use it for 30 days. If it doesn't help you start, email us for a full refund.
