Ebbi planning an afternoon with tasks and resets

Ebbi focus session timer with countdown ring

The problem

You've tried everything.

Timers that punish you when you check your phone.

To-do lists that grow faster than you can cross things off.

Apps that treat focus like willpower when it's actually neuroscience.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

Plan

List your tasks with time estimates. Name your breaks: laundry, a walk, whatever resets you. Ebbi builds your complete schedule automatically.

Focus

Ebbi guides you through each task with calming soundscapes and a gentle timer. Fall behind? Your schedule recalculates instantly. No shame. Just an updated plan.

Review

See what you accomplished. Compare planned vs actual time. Over time, you'll understand your brain's rhythm and work with it, not against it.

Features

Designed for how your brain actually works

Every feature exists because the research says it helps.

Labeled Breaks

Name your breaks: 'Switch the laundry,' 'Walk the dog.' Productive breaks reset your brain without losing momentum.

Auto-Split Big Tasks

A 90-minute task feels impossible. Three 30-minute blocks with breaks? Totally doable. Ebbi splits them for you.

Focus Soundscapes

13 soundscapes including noise colors, rain, ocean waves, lo-fi music, and more. Core sounds generated entirely on your device from math. Powered by Reforge audio technology. Patent Pending

No Streaks, No Shame

No streak to protect, no 'overdue' label, no guilt for an off day. Miss a session and Ebbi just hands you an updated plan. Every new day starts clean.

Live Time Projection

See exactly when you'll finish. If you run over, everything recalculates. No spiral. Just a new plan.

Estimate Accuracy

Track planned vs actual time. Get better at predicting how long things actually take. Your future self will thank you.

Research

Every feature cites its sources

We don't guess about what helps. We read the peer-reviewed research and build from there.

Structured Breaks

A 2025 scoping review of the Pomodoro technique found that structured timed breaks consistently improved sustained attention and reduced mental fatigue.

Ambient Sound & Reforge

Every soundscape is backed by peer-reviewed research. Our patent-pending Reforge engine generates audio from math, verified by neural network classification.

The Shame Loop

Negative self-judgment around productivity increases stress and avoidance, undermining the executive function you need most.

Meet the founder

Built by someone who gets it

Paul Fernkopf

Founder, Forge Hut LLC

Paul has ADHD and a learning disability that makes processing written text a daily negotiation. Every productivity app he tried assumed his brain worked like everyone else's. So in 2011, he built his own system on paper. It worked for fifteen years before he had the tools to turn it into Ebbi. Every feature is grounded in peer-reviewed neuroscience and tested on the brain that needed it most.
