The office you actually want to show up to. Working alone is hard. No colleagues, no one noticing whether you showed up, no reason to push a little harder. FocusOffice gives you all of that back. Clock in, work alongside friends, bet a coffee on who focuses more, and get paid in Beans to build your own space. CLOCK IN Every day starts at the punch clock. Set a Pomodoro, a custom timer or a stopwatch, pick your focus mode and get to work. โ€ข Strict โ€“ one life. Leave the app and the session is over. โ€ข Balanced โ€“ three lives. โ€ข Flexible โ€“ leave whenever you need to, without a penalty and without Beans. YOUR COWORKERS Add friends and see who's putting in the hours. Start a group session with up to 8 people and sit at the same table. Step out of the app and everyone sees your empty chair. In Strict mode the team shares three lives, so if one person slacks off, everyone pays. OFFICE BETS Every office has them. Challenge a friend: โ€ข Time Goal โ€“ focus a set number of hours within a few days โ€ข Battle โ€“ first to reach the target wins โ€ข Streak โ€“ hit your hours every day without breaking the chain โ€ข Ranking โ€“ most hours wins Then set the stakes: loser buys coffee, loser buys lunch, Beans, or a deal you write yourself. Reminders tell you exactly where you stand before the deadline. COMPANY-WIDE COMPETITIONS Global challenges are open to everyone. Climb the public leaderboard, hit the goal and win your share of the Bean pot. PAYDAY Every session pays you in Beans. Spend them on furniture, characters and backgrounds and turn an empty room into a space that feels like yours. BUILD A CAREER Earn career badges for points earned and days you showed up. Track your focus time and streak by day, week and all time. THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE Work to Office Day, Rainy Day, Calm River, Morning Forest or Cozy Fire, or play your own Apple Music during sessions. BRING YOUR TEAM Invite friends and you'll both get Beans after their first session. PERFECT FOR Studying, homework, exam preparation, deep work, office work, home office and everyday productivity.

Rigid 25-minute timers break your flow. Tobydoro lets you work until concentration ends โ€” then gives you the break science says you need. Flowmodoro is a variable-interval method: no forced timers, proportional rest, longer sessions when you are locked in. Built for knowledge workers who want depth, not buzzers. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND Track your session from Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and StandBy. Stop directly from the Live Activity. FLOW SCORE & ANALYTICS Your Flow Score across five dimensions is free. Pro unlocks 30+ analytics and the Month, Year, and All Time periods (Today and Week are free). Map your Focus Fingerprint on six axes: Consistency, Endurance, Recovery, Depth, Reflection, Wellbeing. Discover your peak focus hours with chronotype detection. See work patterns, distraction timing, mood trends, and cross-variable correlations. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics SDKs. No tracking. Your sessions, tasks and journal stay on your device โ€” and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. Photos and audio stay on the device where you add them, and voice transcription runs on the device itself. Purchases are processed by Apple and verified by RevenueCat. FREE FOREVER The full Flowmodoro timer, the five built-in routines, tasks, reflection, breaks, journal, daily summary, and most widgets are completely free. No ads. FLOW TIMER No fixed intervals. Work as long as concentration lasts. Tobydoro calculates an evidence-based break proportional to your session. Three break formulas: Simple, Balanced, Custom. FOCUS ROUTINES Flowmodoro adapts the break to how long you focused; Classic, Deep Work, Quick Sprint, and Long Focus keep a fixed rhythm. Breathe first if you like, with the technique you prefer. Create your own routines with Pro. REFLECTION & JOURNAL After a session of 10 minutes or more, rate your mood and write a reflection; sessions of 2 to 10 minutes get a quick note. Daily journal with session-by-session timelines. Weekly reviews surface your patterns. SMART BREAKS While you focus, gentle reminders tell you to look away from the screen, stand up and move, and drink water. Routines add a long break after a set number of blocks. TASKS & PROJECTS Organize with tasks, projects, tags, priorities, and four cognitive modes: Focus, Learning, Execution, Collaborative. Estimate time, track progress, add comments. WELLBEING OBSERVATIONS Tobydoro notices when your sessions run long and suggests a pause. Fatigue nudges, sedentarism observations, and quiet hours keep habits sustainable. SEVEN HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Daily Focus (time and sessions), Daily Motivation, Focus Streak, Quick Start, Today's Stats, Summary, and Session Control. STREAKS WITH GRACE DAYS One rest day per week does not break your streak โ€” because rest is part of the process. DATA EXPORT & IMPORT (Pro) Export everything as JSON or CSV. Import backups with Skip, Replace, or Keep Both strategies. Your data, your rules. TOBYDORO PRO Advanced analytics across all periods, chronotype detection, Flow Score history, Focus Fingerprint, data export and import, extended journal history, and weekly reviews. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan; the subscription then renews automatically unless cancelled. Your first flow session starts today. --- Tobydoro is a productivity tool that tracks work patterns and suggests breaks.
