How it works

Two choices and a hold. Then your phone stays quiet until you're done.

  1. Setting up a session at Jupiter: Solo or Crew, a dial set to 25 minutes, the Deep Work setup with apps blocked, a line for what you're working on, and the hold-to-start bar
  2. A session at Jupiter with apps blocked, two findings on the projectors, 24:48 remaining and 45 percent of the way there
  3. The map of the solar system at Neptune: 750 minutes spent there, the route charted and the next worlds lined up along the bottom
  4. The collection at Saturn: all 30 found, with the artifacts, the story records and the sounds of the world

  • 281findings, each with its own name, story and rarity
  • 14worlds, Earth out to Pluto and Charon
  • 42objects only a crew can bring home

Your ship

Paint it. Name it. Watch it fly.

Every world you finish adds its colors, and badges and flights bring more. New ships take shape one session at a time. Watch yours from behind for free, or from five more cameras with Premium.

  • 9 ships
  • Paints from every world
  • Six camera angles

Great app!

The app feels super polished. I didn't expect to use it this much, but it's become one of my favorite focus tools. Love it.

Encouraging

Encouraging app to help me stop my phone addiction and actually become productive. Smart design also.

Fairy queen Iris · September 2026

Calm and meditative

I recently started using this app during my short breaks instead of doomscrolling on social media, and it's so much more relaxing and refreshing. I love the galactic vibes and atmosphere!

MelaniDario · October 2026

Awesome focus timer

Awesome timer that motivates you to use it through the collectibles and easy to setup.

Impossibleoreo · September 2026

Great! Really great!!!

I'm a student, and I usually use study apps to keep track of my studying. Of all the ones I've used, this is the one that helps me focus on studying the most! I think whoever thought of combining astronomy with studying is a genius, and actually making the idea real impresses me even more. I really love using this app, and I hope more people discover it, and that it adds more celestial bodies, growing to galaxies and even galaxy clusters (maybe people with the same study goals or subjects could share one space station? Or more limited-time events to add study hours?). Thank you to the developer for making this app. My most sincere thanks.

I recommend!

Great app for staying focused and avoiding distractions. The space journey makes focusing surprisingly fun

Phiboe18 · September 2026

Good focus

I managed to do a lot of work. Currently at level Moon. More to come!

Dividy Tech · September 2026

A very useful app for Vietnamese people who put things off and need to focus

Quiet Orbit is my favorite focus app. A calm design, easy to use, and it never makes you feel punished when you miss a streak. Flexible app blocking, the space journey and the collection of findings make focusing light and enjoyable. Well worth a try!

Plus a spaceship

I already used the app to focus now and then, but since the new update, where you can customize your own ship, I use it a lot more often. Now I can also watch my ship fly to my destination from the outside. So on the way I get to admire my own cool spaceship!

DrDonner · October 2026Translated from Dutch

5 stars!

Awesome! I've been looking for a focus app for a while. This is hands down my favorite!

Included free

Everything you need to focus is free.

Earth and the Moon are two whole expeditions, and everything you need to actually focus comes with them. No timer behind a paywall, no streak held hostage.

Quiet Orbit Premium

Premium opens the rest of the solar system.

Twelve more places to go, Venus out to Pluto and its moon Charon, each with its own story, its own finds and its own sound, all open from the day you join. Each month one of them is open to everyone, for that month only. Whatever you bring back stays yours, even if Premium ends.

Everything that helps you focus is free. Premium makes the map bigger, and it never takes anything away.

  • No account

    Nothing to sign up for.

    You never create one, and we never hold a username, an email address or a password for you.

  • No ads

    No ads, no tracking across apps.

    Quiet Orbit is free to use, and you pay only if you want Premium. There are no ads and no cross-app tracking.

  • On your iPhone

    Your block list never leaves it.

    Blocking runs through Apple's Screen Time, and which apps you picked stays on your iPhone.

Before you start

A few things people ask.

Something else? The Support page has the longer answers.

It's on the App Store, free, for iPhone on iOS 18 or later. Install it, pick a length and the apps that stay closed, and your first session starts in Earth orbit.

Quiet Orbit is a free focus timer and app blocker for iPhone, made by Zeus Apps in the Netherlands: pick the apps that stay closed, then focus for 15 to 90 minutes. Every minute you focus flies your ship closer to the next world, Earth out to Pluto, and each session you finish turns up a finding: an object, a record or a sound from the place you reached.

Yes, apps and websites, through Apple's own Screen Time, and which ones you picked never leaves your iPhone. It's optional. When a session ends it lifts as soon as you open Quiet Orbit, or on its own about 20 minutes later. Leave it off and the timer works just the same.

Yes. You choose exactly which apps close, and everything else stays open: music, maps, messages, whatever the work needs. Change the list any time between sessions.

Yes. One friend picks a world and a time and shares a link or a six-character code. Up to four phones leave at the same second, your ships fly side by side, and hosting and joining are both free.

Yes, and not the kind of free that hides the timer. Earth and the Moon are two whole expeditions, and nothing about focusing costs anything: every session length, app blocking, breaks, reminders, the weekly widget, your whole history, all 33 badges, and your ship with every color and ship you earn.

English, Dutch, Vietnamese, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Portuguese and Traditional Chinese. Every screen and every finding is translated, and it follows your iPhone's language unless you pick another in Settings.

You keep every minute you'd already focused. The only thing that waits is the finding, which needs a session you see through. Nothing's erased, and nobody scolds you.

One quiet notification, and that's it. No alarm, nothing to dismiss. The ship waits until you come back.

Twelve more places, Venus out to Pluto and its moon Charon, each with its own story and sound, all open from the day you join. Two more ships and seven gradient paints, six more background sounds, unlimited setups, session notes, the next-session widget, and trends over 14 days, 12 weeks or 12 months with your records. Anything you've earned stays yours if Premium ends.

Your progress syncs through your own iCloud, and a backup is saved to iCloud Drive once a day. You can also save a backup file to Files and restore from it on the new iPhone.

In the US it's $3.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or $39.99 once to keep it for good. Prices differ by country, and the App Store shows yours before you pay.
