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.
