## What is FocusModes?

FocusModes is a focus timer built for people who do long stretches of desk work and want more structure than a basic countdown.

Choose the timer style that fits how you work:

- Pomodoro
- Flow
- Deep Work
- Intensive
- Open-Ended
- Custom modes

FocusModes is not just a timer. It also helps support the physical side of sustained focus.

Depending on your setup and preferences, it can prompt you to:

- rest your eyes
- take microbreaks
- stand and stretch during breaks
- alternate between sitting and standing
- get ready for or use a walking pad during longer breaks

That means your focus system supports both productivity and sustainability during long work sessions.

FocusModes also includes:

- built-in focus modes plus custom modes you can save and reuse
- a home-screen stats widget for recent totals
- local notifications for phase changes and care reminders
- on-device session and care history
- onboarding that sets desk equipment and reminder timing up front

Everything in this version is available immediately after download. There is no login, no account, no subscription, and no in-app purchase flow in v1.2.

All app data stays on your device. FocusModes does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
