In short

Tiny Start is a productivity timer for people who find it hard to begin a task. You pick a short starter of 2, 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and when it ends the app asks whether to keep going, then switches to counting up if you ignore it. What stands out is that it tracks how often you start and how far those starts carry you, rather than total hours.

About

The hardest part is starting. Tiny Start makes it small.

Pick a short starter (2, 5, 10 or 15 minutes) and tap Start. When it ends, Tiny Start asks one gentle question: Keep going? Say yes, or just ignore it, and it quietly switches to counting up. Stop whenever you like. Either way, you started.

SEE YOUR MOMENTUM, NOT YOUR HOURS Tiny Start tracks how often you start and how far your starts carry you. "Your 5-minute starts become 24 minutes on average." Add an optional label like Tidy, Study or Write to see what each kind of start turns into.
