Bloom Focus Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
A focus timer should be simple. Bloom is a timer for work and study, and not much else. Pick a tree, choose how long you want to focus, and start. The tree grows while you work, and joins your forest when the session ends. Longer sessions grow bigger trees. New species unlock as your hours add up. Give up early and your tree dies. Over time you end up with a forest you built yourself as a quiet record of the work you've done.
