What is time blindness?

Time blindness is the difficulty sensing the passage of time, estimating how long tasks take, noticing when it’s time to switch, or remembering upcoming commitments. It’s common for people with ADHD and often shows up as missed meetings, late starts, or blown transitions.

Common signs

• Losing track of time while hyperfocused
• Missing subtle notifications or calendar pings
• Under or overestimating how long tasks take
• Trouble switching from one activity to the next

Why traditional reminders fail

Standard notifications are easy to miss: small notifications, quiet sounds, or banners that appear while you’re deep in work or away from your screen. If a reminder isn’t impossible to ignore, it often doesn’t help with time blindness.

How In Your Face helps with time blindness

In Your Face is designed to make alerts unmissable so you actually switch on time.

• Full-screen alerts that block your display at the right moment so you can’t miss the cue to switch.
• Auto-detects video links for Zoom, Teams, Meet, and others, letting you join with one click.
• Syncs with your calendars (iCloud, Google, Outlook via Calendar app) and supports travel time, so alerts fire when you really need to leave.
• Snooze and customize: per-event settings, adjustable snooze lengths, sounds, and themes help you tune reminders to how your brain notices time.
• Available on Mac and iPhone with the same “unmissable” philosophy, perfect for ADHD, focus issues, and time blindness.

Many users with ADHD say full-screen, persistent alerts prevent missed meetings when focus drifts.

What it feels like to use

1. Add your calendars.
2. Keep working without checking the clock constantly.
3. When it’s time, a full-screen alert stops you, shows the event, and offers Join or Snooze. You switch on time, consistently.

Quick tips for managing time blindness

• Set one decisive alert at the real switch moment (not 30 minutes early).
• Use travel time so “leave now” alerts are accurate.
• Keep Join actions one click away to reduce friction.
• Pair full-screen alerts with a clear next step such as a join link or checklist.
