Focus Task - Pomodoro helps you choose one focus task, break it into clear small steps, and stay with it without the usual overwhelm. When your to-do list feels noisy, scattered, or impossible to start, Focus Task - Pomodoro brings you back to one thing that matters now. Type the task you want to focus on, and the app turns it into smaller, believable actions so getting started feels lighter. Built for focused progress: - Turn one big task into simple next steps - Stay with the current step instead of the whole list - Use a built-in focus timer for structured work sessions - Return to saved tasks when you are ready - Reduce friction when ADHD overwhelm or executive dysfunction hits Instead of trying to manage everything at once, you can lock in on one focus task and move forward step by step. The timer gives you gentle structure, while the breakdown keeps the work clear enough to follow. Use it for work, studying, chores, admin, or any task that feels mentally heavy. Focus Task - Pomodoro helps you cut through the noise, start small, and keep going. One task. One step. Better focus. SUBSCRIPTION You will need a subscription in order to get full access features.

Aura is a gentle focus timer for ADHD minds โ€” built for people who freeze up at aggressive productivity apps. Most focus apps treat your brain like a discipline problem. Loud alarms. Big red STOP buttons. Guilt when you break a streak. For a lot of us, that just adds shame to the spiral. Aura does the opposite. It's calm, quiet, and forgiving โ€” designed around how focus actually works for neurodivergent minds. WHAT MAKES AURA DIFFERENT A timer that flows with you Start a 25-minute session with a soft breathing visual. When time's up, there's no alarm โ€” the timer simply keeps counting up if you're still in flow, with a quiet "Going further" label. You stop when you're ready. A gentle 90-minute cap reminds you to rest. Streaks without the shame Build a 7-day streak and celebrate real milestones. Miss a day? It just resets to 1 โ€” no guilt messages, no "you ruined your streak." Progress, not punishment. Daily intention Set one clear focus each morning. No endless to-do lists โ€” just the single thing that matters right now. Share your focus Turn a finished session into a beautiful card โ€” overlay your stats on your own photo and share to Instagram Stories, Messages, anywhere. Your focus, your way. Self-compassion, not hustle culture Calming quotes and gentle check-ins instead of "crush your goals" pressure. "Rest is resistance." "Your nervous system is sending a message: slow down." WHO AURA IS FOR - Adults with ADHD who struggle with task initiation and overwhelm - Students who need a calm study timer that won't add anxiety - Anyone tired of productivity apps that feel like a threat Aura is a sanctuary for focus. No pressure. No shame. Just presence. โ€” Aura offers an optional Premium subscription (monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial). You can use Aura's core focus sessions without subscribing.
