About

Focused Timer

Read full description

Focused Timer is a no-frills timer for structured focus sessions. Set your focus time, short breaks, and long breaks, then hit play β€” the rest happens automatically. Why it's different - No ads, no account, no tracking. Just a timer. - Fully customizable session lengths and cycle counts. - Automatic transitions between focus and break β€” no manual restarting. - Optional sound at the end of each session. - Keep-screen-on mode so you never lose track of time. How it works This method splits work into focused sessions followed by short breaks, with a longer break after a set number of cycles. Define how long each phase should last and how many cycles you want before the long break, then let Focused Timer guide you through it. Built by an independent iOS developer who just wanted a timer that gets out of the way.

About

Pomodoro Focus Timer App

Features
Read full description

This app is inspired by Pomodoro Technique which is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. What is Pomodoro Technique? The Pomodoro Technique is a more productive way to work and study. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. How to use the Pomodoro Timer? - Start a 25-minute timer - Work until the timer rings - Take a short, five-minute break - Every four Pomodoro (focus periods), take a longer breakβ€”usually 20-30 minutes Ease to use. The whole point of the Pomodoro Technique is that it's simple to understand. Any competent Pomodoro Timer app should be similarly simple to use and take seconds to figure out and master. Also in this App: - To Do List - Motivational Quotes - Pink Noise for focus
