You can complete the most important actions in seconds, but underneath there's loads of customization and content to go through if you want to. FOCUS TIMER: It's often tough to concentrate with all of the modern distractions. That's why our timer works in the background, so you can use it alongside another app. Maybe you have your favorite running or yoga app that you'd like to use during your routine. Now you can do just that! When not on the screen the timer can send you notifications when it's time for the next habit. The focus timer works for routines and standalone habits. RECOMMENDATIONS: In addition to an intuitive morning routine builder, there's also a community-built library of healthy habits and ideas to choose from. The idea is to start small and focus on building a streak, then add new exciting habits along the way! PRIVACY: No personal data is collected by us.

Start before you're ready. That's the whole idea. FocusTimer is a Pomodoro-style focus timer built for the part everyone else skips: actually starting. Write down what's pulling at your attention, pick the one thing you're doing next, and go. No rigid 25-minute lock-in, no to-do list to organize first, no tree that dies if you look away. WHAT'S PULLING AT YOU? Brain Dump gets everything out of your head in one pass: one line, one thing, no pressure to sort it. Stamp the one you're taking, and the room goes dark around it. Everything else is still there when you come back to it. A TIMER THAT BENDS, NOT BREAKS Every session is adjustable: pause without penalty, add time mid-session, finish early and it still counts. Rigid 25/5 lock-in is the thing every other Pomodoro app charges you to escape. Here it's just how the timer works, free, always. STREAKS, NOT GUILT TRIPS FocusTimer tracks what you actually did. No cartoon pet to starve, no tree to kill, no streak-loss shame for a bad day. A missed day costs you nothing but a missed day. FOCUSTIMER PRO Three things, all built, all real: • Presence: your session on the Lock Screen and Home Screen. Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and widgets, no need to open the app. • Patterns: where your focus actually goes. By task, by time of day, and week over week. • Sound: room tones (rain, café, white noise) and a choice of end chime, on top of the one you already get free. The timer, the brain dump, your streaks, and your full session history are free, always, with no limit and no account. Pro is never a wall on what you've already built, only the tools around it. FocusTimer Pro is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and it's yours on this Apple ID, forever. No subscription, no renewal, no recurring charge.
