Focus Ring is a calm Pomodoro timer for deep work. Tap the ring and you're focusing. Everything else fades away until the session ends. ONE TAP TO FOCUS • Tap the ring to start 25 minutes of focus, then 5-minute breaks and a 15-minute long break after four rounds. • Tap again to pause. Resume or end when you're ready. • Set your own focus and break lengths. • If you stop early, note why in one tap, so you can spot what pulls you away. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN • A Live Activity shows the time left on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Home Screen widgets show your session and let you start one with a tap. • An alert tells you when focus or a break ends, even with the phone locked. TASKS AND GOALS • Keep a short list of what you're working on and pick the task for each session. • Set a daily focus goal and see how close you are. STATS • Focus time by day and week, sessions completed, your streak, and how your sessions ended. AMBIENCE • Rain, waves, brown noise or a fireplace during focus. It keeps playing with the screen locked and fades out for breaks. MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY • Matte dark and light themes, in English and Arabic. • Works fully without an account.
