What is a 17 hour timer
The 17-hour timer completes the famous Draugiem productivity pairing: 52 minutes of work followed by 17 minutes of rest. Scaled to the full waking day, 17 hours represents the total time available when sleeping the minimum 7 hours recommended by sleep scientists. In practice, 17-hour days are rare and demanding, but they are standard in environments like hospital residency, special forces training, and pre-launch startup sprints, where maximum output over a compressed period is the explicit goal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.8 rating on the App Store
As someone with ADHD, this is the first productivity app that actually works for me. The visual timer and automatic breaks mean I don't have to make decisions — I just start and the app takes care of everything
I've tried every Pomodoro app on the market. Blazetimer is the only one that combines a proper timer with real task management. My work output has genuinely doubled since I started using it.
The strict mode is a game changer for me. I used to stop my timers constantly when things got difficult. Now I can't and it's taught me that I can actually push through. My exam scores have improved
