One Hour
Focus Timer

A cute timer that helps you break your phone habit.

What Is Noobu?

Noobu trains you to stay off your phone for one full hour.
Drop your phone: a ring starts glowing, eyes watch you, and the 1-hour countdown begins. Pick it up too soon? It resets — and frowns.

  • 🧠 Regain focus, one hour at a time
  • 🚫 Stop mindless scrolling
  • ⚡ No apps, no distractions
  • 🔌 Works with any phone

Why Noobu Works

Visual Motivation

The ring shows your progress toward one hour without your phone. The challenge is simple: don’t pick it up.

Honest Feedback

Noobu works because it feels personal. Its eyes respond to you, smiling when you stay focused and looking disappointed when you're on your phone.

Ready Out of the Box

No app. No account. Just plug it in and place your phone. It works instantly, right out of the box.

How Noobu Works

1

Park it. Noobu senses your phone the moment you place it down.

2

Stay focused. A glowing ring slowly fills over one hour while Noobu’s eyes grow happier.

3

Grab your phone? The ring resets and the eyes turn sad or annoyed until your phone is back.
