Start every session with the task you are trying to stay on.
Product scope
A task intention focus timer for Windows.
IdleJolt asks what you are trying to stay on, watches local idle activity, and brings you back to the task when you drift.
- Windows 10/11
- Task intention + Today’s Queue
- Core behavior runs locally
- No subscription
Included.
The controls stay focused on one job: helping you return to the task you picked.
Add, edit, complete, delete, and start sessions from today’s local task list.
Choose Tap, Nudge, Jolt, or Custom depending on how visible the reminder should be.
Ignore tiny cursor movement so accidental jitter does not reset the timer.
Pick the reminder sound, volume, and app theme.
Optional nudges for long desk sessions.
Sessions started, tasks completed, idle recoveries, and breaks taken.
Not included
No blocker. No surveillance. No productivity theatre.
No account is required for the core app behavior.
IdleJolt does not block apps, websites, or distracting pages.
Today’s Queue is deliberately small: no projects, tags, teams, due dates, or boards.
It does not rank your work, produce reports, or judge your day.
Current pricing is a one-time £1.99 purchase.
Limits to know before buying.
These are important because they affect whether IdleJolt fits your setup.

Buy it if the narrow job fits.
