Start from the one line
your past self left

baton. is a focus timer that saves your next start when a session ends.

The hard part isn't focusing,
it's starting again

Every time you sit back down, 10 to 20 minutes vanish to "where was I."

Timers so far only optimized the middle of a session.

No one ever measured the space between sessions.

How it works

01

You leave one line when you finish

Before closing a session, you hand the first sentence to the you who returns.
When you're back, first thing?
02

Next time you open, that line is the start button

Instead of a blank screen, the sentence you left is waiting for you.

It measures your return time — baton time

Not the time you focused, but the time it took to start again.

Hemingway stopped writing while he still knew the next sentence, so the blank page wouldn't feel daunting the next morning.

We made that trick into an app.
