Focus & To

Read full description

Stay Focus is the simplest way to get important work done. It blends a Pomodoro®-style focus timer with a Today-only to-do list so you always know what to do now—and you can start in seconds. Why it works Most task apps create clutter; most timers ignore your plan. Stay Focus puts them together with a two-page flow: - Focus — start a 25-minute session on a single task, no distractions. - Today — a clean list for just today’s tasks, not your whole life. Swipe up/down to switch between the two. That’s it. Fewer taps, less friction, more finished work. What you can do - Pomodoro focus timer with large digits and a calm, minimal UI - Today-only to-do list (check off, reorder, quick add/edit) - One-task focus (work deeply on what matters now) - History & streaks (see sessions, completions, and momentum) - Beautiful themes (pick a look that keeps you motivated) - 100% ad-free (no clutter, no popups—just focus) Designed for clarity - Two screens, one gesture: Focus ↕ Today - Consistent typography, spacious layout, and thoughtful haptics - Works great for study, writing, coding, reading, and daily planning Stay Focus — Pomodoro + Today Tasks Privacy Policy: https://www.livewiththelanguage.com/legal/page/us/privacy-policy/en Terms of Service: https://www.livewiththelanguage.com/legal/page/row/terms-of-service/en
