A focus timer that makes deep work feel rewarding. Start a session, stay locked in, see your focused hours stack up over time. No virtual trees, no social guilt — just clean, satisfying focus tracking. START FOCUSING IN ONE TAP Tap to start a 25-minute Pomodoro session. A beautiful ring fills as you focus. When the timer ends, you feel it — satisfying haptics and a completion animation that makes finishing a session feel like an achievement. OVERFLOW MODE Hit your 25 minutes but still in the zone? Keep going. Locus tracks your overflow time separately so you get credit for every focused minute, not just the ones on the clock. SMART BREAKS After each focus session, take a timed break. Locus prompts you when it's time to rest and when it's time to get back to work. TRACK YOUR FOCUS HABIT See today's focused minutes, this week's total, and your all-time session count. Watch your focus habit build over time. PRO STATS Unlock the full picture with Pro — contribution graph (GitHub-style heatmap of your focus history), weekly streaks with a forgiving grace system, adjustable weekly goals, custom session durations, and CSV export.
