Focusutra: Focus Timer

Exam season. You're in the library, ready to study. Every time you pick up your phone, you lose the focus you just built up. Getting back into it can easily take ten minutes. That was me. I spent hours in the library and still had no idea how much I had actually studied. So I built Focusutra. Place your iPhone face down on the desk and the timer starts. As long as it stays there, your focus time counts. Pick it up and you get 5 seconds to put it back. Miss that and the session is over. Sounds strict, but that's the point. Those few seconds are often enough to notice you didn't actually need your phone. And at the end you know exactly how long you were really focused, not just how long you sat there. Before you start, you can take a moment with a short box breathing exercise and a point to focus on. If that's not for you, turn it off in the settings. Your dashboard keeps track of what you've done: focus time, sessions, your streak and a calendar that gets greener every day you show up. When a session ends, a sound can let you know. Set it to headphones only and you won't disturb anyone in the library. Focusutra is free. There's no account, no ads, and your data stays on your iPhone.
