Focus Dots
Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus Dots is a simple focus timer. Set a duration. Press start. Focus on one thing. There are no streaks to maintain. No productivity analytics. No pressure to optimize yourself. Finish a session and earn a dot. Over time, those dots become quiet records of the moments you chose to focus. Use it for study sessions, deep work, reading, writing, or any task that needs your full attention. Whether youβre working, studying, or just trying to stay distraction-free, Focus Dots helps you stay present.Β I built this because I kept getting distracted by focus tools that tried to do too much. This one does less.
