About

env

Features

You don't have a focus problem. You have a setup problem. env is a one-tap focus timer for study, deep work, reading, and exams. Save the setup you need before focus starts: timer, app blocking, focus sound, breaks, notifications, and auto-start behavior. Build a focus env once, then boot it from the app, Home Screen widget, or Lock Screen widget. You can also use the face widget as a small focus shortcut on your Home Screen: tap the face, boot your env, and begin. Use different envs for different sessions: Deep Focus, Reading, Writing, Exam Prep, or any routine that needs its own focus setup. Your env can include: - fixed or count-up timer - breaks, rounds, notifications, or auto-start - app blocking with Screen Time - brown noise, pink noise, air noise, rain, ocean, and campfire - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - face widget for one-tap focus boot - Live Activity progress tracking - themes and env colors The goal is simple: remove the setup friction that drains focus before you begin. Build the env once. Boot focus faster next time. Access to env requires an in-app purchase: choose a monthly or yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
