Focus with bold design, not distractions. Focushaus is a Pomodoro timer inspired by the Bauhaus: strong colors, clean geometry, and huge, easy-to-read numbers. Work in focused 25-minute sessions, take short breaks between them, and enjoy a longer break after every four. It's the proven way to get more done with less mental fatigue. YOUR TIMER, EVERYWHERE • Live Activities show the countdown on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, and in StandBy. • In StandBy, the timer goes full screen with huge Bauhaus numbers you can read from across the room. • Start your next session or break, or reset the timer, right from the Lock Screen. • Cycle dots show where you are in your set of four. • Glance at the timer on Apple Watch in the Smart Stack. • The timer keeps running even if iOS closes the app in the background. STREAK WIDGETS • Focus Streak widgets for your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. • See your current streak, today's sessions, and the last 7 days at a glance. • Start a focus session with one tap from the medium widget. BUILT FOR iPHONE DUO AND EVERY SCREEN • Unfold your iPhone Duo to see your timer and stats side by side. • Stand it up half-folded like a tent, and the numbers turn so you can read them from your desk. • Lock it in the tent pose and StandBy turns it into a full-screen focus clock. • A full-screen timer on iPhone and iPad, in any orientation on iPad. STAY MOTIVATED • More than 50 achievements for streaks, milestones, full cycles, early mornings, late nights, weekends, seasons, and comebacks. • Daily streaks that keep you coming back. • Stats that show your focus time day by day and week by week. THOUGHTFUL DETAILS • Gentle notifications when a session or break ends. • Old "session finished" alerts clear themselves once you start again. • Haptic feedback for a satisfying, tactile feel. • Light and dark appearance. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a 25-minute focus session. 2. Work until the timer ends. 3. Take a short break. 4. After four sessions, enjoy a long break. Whether you're studying, writing, coding, or tackling any task that needs real attention, Focushaus gives your day a simple, beautiful rhythm.
