Focus Flame

Read full description

Focus Flame is a minimalist focus timer built around a single, beautiful idea β€” a candle that burns as you work. Set a duration, tap the flame, and let it guide your attention. No flashy timers. No aggressive notifications. Just a quietly burning candle that melts away as your session progresses. - HOW IT WORKS Light the candle to begin your session. Tap to pause, tap again to resume. When the wax is gone, your session is complete. -CRACKLING FIRE SOUND Immersive ambient audio fades in when your session begins and fades out when you pause, like sitting usign a real candle. - TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every completed session is logged. Watch your streak grow and see your total focus time accumulate day by day. - CANDLE STYLES Choose from three wax colours β€” Ivory, Rose, and Sage to match your mood or workspace. - BUILT FOR FOCUS No social features. No gamification. No distractions. Your session data stays on your device and never leaves. Focus Flame is for people who want to do deep work, study, meditate, or simply be present, one session at a time.
