Focus Timer

Get into the zone

The Focus Timer helps you get started and stay focused, Pomodoro-style or in free mode.

How to do it

  1. 1 Go to the Focus tab, or start a session directly from a task.
  2. 2 Choose your mode: Pomodoro (25 min focus / 5 min break) or free mode (no limit).
  3. 3 Optional: pick an ambient sound (rain, café, brown noise, lo-fi…).
  4. 4 A 3-2-1 countdown gets you going. Stay focused until the session ends.

Tips

  • If you get interrupted, the session is saved: you can resume it later.
  • On Android, the timer keeps running in the background via a notification, lock screen included.

  • Pomodoro session length — 25 min by default, adjustable (15, 30, 45, 60… or a custom value) in Settings → Focus.
  • Break length — 5 min by default, change it to fit your rhythm.
  • Default ambient sound — the backdrop played automatically when a focus session starts.
  • Vibrations — turn them on or off and set the strength (low, medium, high) at the end of a session.
  • Do Not Disturb — silences your phone's notifications during focus (Android, Premium).
  • Maximum length of a free session — an automatic safety cutoff (0 = unlimited).

Good to know

Every session is saved to your history. The free plan gives you 2 sessions per day; Premium unlocks them all, with every sound.
