Focus. Fly. Land. Recover. Focus Break helps you stay in deep focus without running yourself into the ground. Start a session, follow the timer, and when it ends, choose a short guided break - eye reset, breathing, or a mini meditation. The space “flight of thought” theme makes the experience calm, satisfying, and easy to repeat daily. Built for real life Focus presets: choose the session length that matches your day. Optional wind‑down reminder: a gentle mid‑session nudge to start wrapping up (you control it). Guided break choices: practical, short routines you can do anywhere. Thought Fuel: a daily battery that helps you visualize how much focus capacity you have left today. Home Screen widget: see your remaining time at a glance and start/stop quickly. Space visuals: pleasant, lightweight motion designed to keep you calm - not distracted. Who it’s for Students, developers, designers, writers, founders - anyone who wants more focus with fewer crashes.
