Read full description

Stay Focus is the simplest way to get important work done. It blends a Pomodoroยฎ-style focus timer with a Today-only to-do list so you always know what to do nowโ€”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 โ€” start a 25-minute session on a single task, no distractions. - Today โ€” a clean list for just todayโ€™s tasks, not your whole life. Swipe up/down to switch between the two. Thatโ€™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 popupsโ€”just focus) Designed for clarity - Two screens, one gesture: Focus โ†• Today - Consistent typography, spacious layout, and thoughtful haptics - Works great for study, writing, coding, reading, and daily planning Stay Focus โ€” 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

Safa is a calm, minimalist focus timer designed with care and intention. Built around a single circle and a few deliberate gestures, it removes everything that isn't essential โ€” no accounts, no streaks, no dashboards. Simple to use. Refined in feel. Set time by rotating the circle. Focus happens on a single screen. Each session ends quietly, without interruption. There are no menus or clutter. Every interaction is intentional. Safa works fully offline and stores everything locally. No tracking. No analytics. No ads. The free version is complete. An optional one-time upgrade adds additional themes, sounds, and a full session history. Safa isn't a task manager or habit app. It simply creates a quiet space for focused work, study, or stillness. Quiet by design.
