Features · Focus

A focus timer that follows you around the app.

Start a Pomodoro, pick some ambient sound, and keep the timer in view while you work through your list.

Starting a session, choosing Rain, and opening Countdowns

What it is

What Focus mode is

Focus is a single-purpose timer view: a large countdown, a Start button, a break cycle and a record of past sessions. Work in short blocks, 25 minutes by default, take the break, and repeat. A smaller version of the timer stays in the bottom bar so a running session keeps counting in every view.

Timer

Pomodoro or stopwatch

Use Pomodoro for focused blocks with breaks, or switch to Stopwatch when you just want to know how long something took.

  • A long break after four sessions
  • Work, short break and long break durations are configurable in Settings
  • Stopwatch counts up with no fixed budget

A running Pomodoro

Ambient

Sound that helps you settle

Choose Rain, Ocean, Cafe or Forest, generated by the app itself. It stops when the session ends.

  • None, Rain, Ocean, Cafe or Forest
  • Pick it in the Focus view or the bottom bar
Record

A record of every session, and countdowns

The Focus view keeps a history of sessions and a weekly chart. The Countdowns tab shows days remaining until launches, exams, trips or contract dates.

  • Focus record with task name, time and duration
  • Countdown cards you can colour and name
Why it worksA timer you cannot lose

A smaller timer stays in the bottom bar in every view, so a running session keeps counting while you work through your list.

Why it worksSound without files

Ambient sound is generated by the app itself, so Rain, Ocean, Cafe and Forest work with no connection.
