Sea Focus

Read full description

Focus like the ocean β€” calm, deep, and steady. Sea Focus is an ocean-themed focus timer and task app that turns every work session into a guided underwater journey. Instead of a generic countdown, you start with a simple ritual: choose a route, pick your station, set a focus mode, add sound, and cast off into deep work. Use Sea Focus for study, writing, reading, deep work, and distraction-free focus blocks throughout the day. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Start route-based sessions like Lagoon Route, Reef Edge, and Open Current - Choose a focus mode: Focus, Study, Work, Read, Write, or your own - Attach a task with subtasks and tags for lightweight task tracking - Layer in ambient sound like Ocean Waves and White Noise - Switch between live route graphics, ocean videos, and your own backgrounds - Build a Pomodoro flow with auto-breaks and "Another round?" - Block distracting apps with Focus Shield during active journeys - Track streaks, daily minutes, weekly charts, monthly trends, and best streak - Set daily goals with a visual progress ring - See your countdown on Live Activities, widgets, and StandBy - Get a gentle daily reminder to start your next session FREE - Preset routes (25, 45, 60 min) - 2 ocean biomes and 2 sounds - Up to 3 tasks and 3 tags - 7 days of history, basic stats, and streaks - Daily reminders and Home Screen widgets SEA FOCUS PRO - Custom durations (5–120 min) - All biomes and depth zones - All premium sounds - Unlimited tasks and tags - Full history and advanced stats - Focus Shield distraction blocking - Custom focus modes - Custom photo and video backgrounds - Live Activity, daily and weekly goals If you want a focus app that feels more immersive than a plain Pomodoro timer but still works as a practical daily tool, Sea Focus is built for that middle ground.
