No willpower required. → POMODORO & DEEP WORK Classic 25-minute Pomodoros, custom intervals, or open-ended deep work sessions. Whatever your focus style, FocusKit fits it. → FOCUS SOUNDS Rain, thunder, wind, coffee shop, fire and white noise. Layer them or run one. → LIVE ACTIVITY & LOCK SCREEN Your countdown lives on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and StandBy. No unlock, no scroll. → PROGRESS ANALYTICS Focus hours, streaks, best days, completion rate. See what drains your attention before it does. —— HOW IT WORKS —— 1.

FocusMono is an all-in-one focus app that combines focus timers, mindfulness meditation, ambient soundscapes, and task management — helping you achieve deep focus, boost productivity, and drift into restful sleep. Three Focus Modes Pomodoro Timer — The classic technique with customizable focus and break durations. Loop through cycles to stay in rhythm. Mindfulness Meditation — Guided breathing exercises with 4 breathing patterns (Equal, Resonance, Relaxing, Energizing), paired with ambient sounds for deep immersion. Free Stopwatch — No preset duration. Focus for as long as you want, stop when you're done. One-Tap Quick Scenes Deep Work, Study, Nap, Meditate, Read, Sleep — 6 high-frequency scenarios that launch both a timer and an ambient mix simultaneously. Zero configuration needed. Scenes are also intelligently sorted by time of day, so the most relevant one is always front and center. 80+ Curated Ambient Sounds Rain (thunderstorm, drizzle, night rain, window rain, tent rain…), Ocean (calm, crashing, nighttime, underwater…), Wind (breeze, howling, mountain, blizzard…), Fire (campfire, fireplace, candle…), Nature (forest, birdsong, frogs, cicadas, whale song…), City (café, library, restaurant, marketplace…), Transit (train, subway, airplane…), Home (fan, clock, kettle…) — over 80 high-quality ambient sounds. There's always one that puts you at ease. Multi-Track Ambient Mixing Layer up to 3 sound tracks with independent per-track volume and master volume control. 5 handcrafted scene presets (Forest Night Rain, Seaside Fire, Valley Morning Mist, Late-Night Study, Summer Courtyard) work right out of the box, or mix your own. Sleep Module A dedicated sleep timer that gently fades out after 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes. It doesn't interfere with Pomodoro stats or trigger break cycles — just pure help falling asleep. Tasks & Goals Set goals, break them into tasks, and track progress on a calendar. Switch freely between week and month views, with a timeline that visualizes your daily focus distribution at a glance. Focus Statistics Review your Pomodoro, mindfulness, and stopwatch durations and trends by day / week / month / year. Let the data witness your growth. Home Screen Widgets & Dynamic Island Home screen widgets display real-time timer status and stats. Live Activity supports Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — your focus progress is always visible at a glance. iCloud Sync Focus data and settings sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud. Switch devices seamlessly without missing a beat. Multi-Language Support Supports 9 languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German — plus automatic system language detection.
