Sitting down to work is easy — staying with it is the hard part.
Willpower alone doesn’t fix it. A simple, repeatable rhythm does.
Focus gives your attention somewhere to go.
A Rhythm You Can Keep
Plan, work, break, review — four small steps that carry a whole workday.
-
Plan
Five quiet minutes to pick what matters today.
-
repeat through the day
Work
One task, one timed session — your full attention in one place.
-
Break
Step away — breaks are part of the work, not time lost.
-
Review
See your focus add up in Activity, and end the day knowing what you got done.
A Timer with a Proven Rhythm
Focused sessions and restful breaks, built on the Pomodoro Technique — with the details tuned to how you work.
Flexible Lengths
Choose session and break lengths that fit the task — short sprints for getting started, longer stretches for deep work.
Full-Screen Alarms
When a session ends, Focus makes sure you notice — a full-screen alarm on iOS 26, a clear notification everywhere else. Work heads-down and trust the timer.
A Minimalist Option
Prefer things quiet? An optional black-and-white look reduces the timer to the essentials.
Sessions and Tasks, Together
A focus timer plus real task management in one calm app — most apps make you run two.
Tasks & Projects
Collect what you want to work on and group it into projects. Pick a task, start a session, and the work always has a direction.
Time Tracking Built In
Focus keeps track of your time as you work, so you can see where your focused hours went without keeping a separate record.
See What You Got Done
Progress that feels earned, never nagged.
Daily & Weekly Activity
Watch your focused time add up, day by day and week by week.
Goals
Set a daily goal and leave your work feeling good about reaching it.
Charts, Timeline & Calendar
Charts, a session timeline, and a calendar view show the shape of your work over time.
