Make room for one thing at a time. BubbleFocus is a Pomodoro and focus timer for studying, reading, writing, and getting work done. Choose a tag, set your time, and let a glass bubble keep you company. A SIMPLE WAY TO BEGIN Start with a tap, or enable flip control on a supported iPhone: place it face down to begin, pick it up to pause, and put it down again to continue. Flip control works while the app is open on the home screen. FIND YOUR OWN RHYTHM Choose a countdown or use the Pro count-up timer for open-ended work. Pause and resume when you need to. After a session, choose your break and enjoy the floating bubbles before returning to your next task. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Keep your focus history organized with tags. Review completed sessions, then explore trends, a weekly timeline, tag distribution, and a yearly heatmap with Pro. Focus sessions of at least five minutes are saved as valid records. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE Follow your timer through Live Activities on supported devices. Use light or dark appearance and choose a photo for your home background. No BubbleFocus account is required. Optional iCloud sync keeps focus history and tags in sync; active timers stay on the device where they started. Alarm alerts are free on supported devices running iOS 26 or later and require system authorization. Adding time to a completed countdown is also free, using "+2 min" in the app. BUBBLEFOCUS PRO Pro adds count-up timing, longer sessions up to 180 minutes, complete statistics, unlimited tags, and the Apple Watch companion. Pro is available through a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime purchase. Features that require Pro are marked in the app. Availability of system features depends on your device and OS version. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. A lifetime purchase does not renew. BubbleFocus 2.0 is the new name and design of WaterFocus.
