Touhou Focus Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cut the work into fixed blocks of time, take one block at a time, and rest often. Touhou Focus Timer is a plain timer for time blocking. What makes it different is who sits next to you. A partner from Gensokyo says something short at each turn of the block — when you start, at the halfway mark, when the end is near, when you finish, during the break, when you stop early, and when you reach the day's goal. Every line is written for that one character: 864 lines in English and 864 in Japanese, with no generic encouragement anywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Make a time block, such as 25 minutes of focus plus a 5 minute break, four times over 2. Pick the partner who will keep you company 3. Start. A notification tells you when the block is up WHAT YOU GET - As many time blocks as you like (name, focus length, break length, sets per day, partner) - A daily goal, and a ring on the home screen showing how much you have focused today - Notifications at the end of a block, so you never have to watch the screen while focusing - Records: today, a bar chart for the last 7 days, a grid for the last 5 weeks, lifetime totals, time spent with each partner, and your streak - Blocks you stop early are still recorded. They count toward the day's minutes, but not toward blocks completed - A dark palette for late nights (night mode) - English and Japanese EIGHTEEN PARTNERS Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame are with you from the start. The others join as your lifetime focus time adds up, in order. The thresholds are deliberately long, so if you would rather not wait you can watch a video and bring in any one partner right away. WHO IT IS FOR - You know what to do, but starting takes forever - You keep going for hours and end up worn out - You want to look back on the hours you put in - You would rather not sit at the desk alone NOTES - This is an unofficial fan work based on Touhou Project by Team Shanghai Alice. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original author or rights holders. - The app shows ads. Full-screen ads appear only while the timer is stopped; nothing interrupts a focus block or a break. - Character art: (X: @sanelta)
