Choose three things from today's five and finish them in short sprints. Sprint Focus combines the pomodoro idea, sprint training and habit building into one timer that is deliberately small — small enough that starting never feels like a decision. TODAY'S MENU, GENERATED FOR YOU Five items are drawn from the menu you keep switched on: studying, reading, exercise, tidying, idea work, anything you like. You pick three. SPRINTS OF 3 TO 20 MINUTES - 3 minutes times 3 sets (standard) - 5 minutes times 5 sets (hard) - Or a fully custom setup Choose between timed sprints, task sprints and count-based tasks. YOUR OWN MENU Add whatever you want: "read for 10 minutes", "five ideas", "tidy for 3 minutes". HISTORY AND PROGRESS Daily completions and total time are recorded, so the habit has something to lean on. A MORNING NUDGE A 9am notification tells you today's candidates are ready. WHO IT SUITS - Anyone who wants to concentrate on study or exam prep - People building a habit a little at a time - Anyone trying to keep reading or tidying going - People who bounce off complicated task managers - Anyone who finds short bursts easier to sustain Strict, but easy to keep going. Doing three things a day is enough to start moving.
