PDND

Please, Do Not Disturb

Focus now. Chat later. Everyone knows when.

PDND is a do-not-disturb timer with private status links. Start a session, send a link to your coworkers, housemates or family, and they'll see a live countdown to when you're free. No more “got a sec?” in the middle of a thought.

US$5 once, yours forever. Unlimited DND status shares, no subscription.

How it works

Three steps. Zero “got a sec?”

Set it in seconds, share it once, and stop fielding drive-by interruptions.

  1. Step 1: Start a session

    Pick 15, 30 or 90 minutes, or type your own (up to 24 hours). Running long? Tack on 5, 15 or 30 more with one tap.

  2. Step 2: Share a private link

    Make a link for each person or group: your team, your housemates, your mom. Each one shows the name you choose.

  3. Step 3: They know when you're free

    Your link shows a live countdown and a clear yes or no. They can opt in to a ping the moment you're available.

Who it's for

For people whose work happens in their head

Interruptions are expensive when your job is thinking. PDND makes “not right now” painless for everyone involved.

  • Deep work

    Writing, coding, designing, untangling a spreadsheet. Protect the flow it took you twenty minutes to find.

  • Meetings & calls

    On a client call or recording a demo? People see “Not yet” instead of walking in mid-pitch.

  • Working from home

    Give your family or housemates a link. They check their phone instead of the door handle.

  • Shared offices

    Headphones are a hint. A countdown is a fact. Teammates know exactly when to swing by.

Features

A small tool with sharp edges

Everything you need to guard your focus, nothing you'll have to configure for an afternoon.

  • Durations that fit

    Presets for the usual suspects, custom sessions up to 24 hours, and one-tap extends for when the bug fights back.

  • As many private links as you like

    One per person or group, each with its own label and display name. Delete one and it stops working instantly.

  • Push notifications, both ways

    Your people can get pinged when you're free. You get a heads-up 5 minutes before a session ends, and another when it does.

  • API & automation

    Create a token and start or end DND from your calendar, an iOS Shortcut or a script. The docs fit on one page.

Pricing

Pay once. Focus forever.

Less than the coffee you'd drink while waiting for someone to stop talking. And you only buy it once.

FAQ

Questions, answered politely

Who can see my status?

Only people who have one of your links. Each link is a long, random URL that can't be guessed, isn't listed anywhere and is kept out of search engines. Delete a link and it stops working right away.

What do people actually see?

The display name you chose for their link, whether they can disturb you right now, and a countdown to when you're free. Not your email, not your other links, and definitely not what you're working on.

How do notifications work?

Visitors can tap “Notify me” on your status page to get a web push notification when you're free again. You can switch on reminders for yourself too: a heads-up 5 minutes before a session ends, and a note when it's over. On iPhone, add the page to your Home Screen first. That's Apple's rule, not ours.

Is there a free plan or a trial?

Nope. PDND is US$5, paid once: lifetime access, unlimited DND status shares, everything included, no upsells later.

Is it really a one-time payment?

Yes. Pay US$5 once and PDND is yours for as long as PDND exists. No subscription, no renewals, nothing to cancel, no “are you sure?” maze.

Is there an API?

Yes. Create a personal access token and call /api/v1/dnd/start, /end and /status to automate PDND from your calendar, Shortcuts or scripts. Everything's in the docs.

Ready to be politely unreachable?

Set up takes a minute. Your next focus session can start right after.
