NU Day is a task-based focus timer that helps you break work into timed, manageable tasks to boost concentration and complete more each day. Instead of a single countdown, NU Day lets you set how many tasks you want to finish and define the duration for each, from short 5-minute bursts to longer deep-work blocks so sessions match study, creative, or professional routines. Timers run reliably in the background with a persistent alarm that notifies you even when the phone is locked.

Key Features

Customizable sessions let you set one to ten or more tasks and choose duration for each; a persistent full-screen alarm with sound works when the device is locked or in Do Not Disturb mode; a clean, distraction-free interface keeps the focus on tasks; background operation ensures timers continue running accurately while you use other apps; and session progress tracking shows which task you are on and how many remain.

Advantages

NU Day helps structure work into clear, manageable chunks so you can tackle large projects step by step. Reliable alarms reduce the risk of missing task boundaries during deep work or study sessions. The simple, minimal interface makes it quick to set up sessions and stay focused without learning a complex tool. The app is useful for students, professionals, creatives, and anyone who uses Pomodoro or time-boxing techniques.

Disadvantages

NU Day is currently in open beta, so some planned features and polish are still in development. The app collects anonymous usage data during the beta to improve the experience; no personal data or task content is collected.

Version Information

NU Day is in open beta and actively evolving; the team is working on session history, statistics tracking, custom alarm sounds, and more customization options based on user feedback.
