FocusKit is a Pomodoro study timer that keeps you honest. Step away from your desk and the session pauses. Start a session and every app except the ones you allow stays locked until it ends. STEP AWAY? THE TIMER PAUSES The front camera checks that you're still there. If it can't see you for 10 seconds (you choose 5–30), the session pauses and waits for you. Faces are detected on your device — nothing is recorded or uploaded, and you can turn it off anytime. STRICT MODE: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS While a session runs, every app except the ones you allow stays behind a Screen Time shield. FocusKit never sees which apps you use. POMODORO, YOUR WAY Classic 25-minute Pomodoros or long deep-work blocks: set focus from 5 to 60 minutes and give each task its own length. With Pro, tune short breaks, long breaks and cycles too. A FOCUS TIMER FOR EVERY TASK Give each task a color, an icon, a focus length and a weekly goal, then pick it before you start. See exactly where your hours go. STATS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Day and week views with time by task. Pro adds month and year views, insights, a year heatmap and your full session history. Share your stats in one tap. DAILY GOAL & FOCUS STREAK Set a daily goal from 15 minutes to 8 hours and keep your streak alive. Every focused minute earns coins — spend them on streak shields for the days life gets in the way. FOCUS SOUNDS Thunder and white noise, plus rain, fire and coffee shop with Pro — seamless loops that start with every session. Pro lets you layer them. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity shows the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and stop. Home Screen widgets and StandBy keep today's progress in view. BUILT FOR • Students preparing for exams and finals • ADHD brains that drift • Deep work, writing and coding • Anyone trying to put the phone down FOCUSKIT PRO Unlimited tasks (the free plan includes 3), month and year stats with insights, custom breaks and cycles, every widget, every sound and mixing, and iCloud backup & restore. Weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. No account needed. Daily reminders are optional. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your account settings.
