Stay focused. Block distractions. Make pottery. Clay Focused is a Pomodoro focus timer and app blocker that turns your screen time into beautiful handmade ceramics. Set a timer, pick your ceramic, and watch a mug, bowl, plate, or vase take shape on the wheel as you work, study, or create. Stay focused and your piece gets fired and added to your shelf.
