About

FocusDeep

Read full description

FocusDeep is a quiet focus timer for the things you keep meaning to get to. Type what you want to make time for, then pick a countdown between five minutes and two hours. If you'd rather not watch the clock, let it count up while you work. Clari, a small leafy friend, stays in your room the whole time. When the session ends you collect stars, and it goes into your journal with a short note if you want to add one. Stars buy little treasures for your room: a sun lamp, a morning fern, a moon clock, a paper crane and more. You decide what goes out and what gets put away, and over a few weeks the room fills up with the time you put in. There's a cloud study, a moonlit garden and a star observatory, each at night or at dawn. WHAT'S INSIDE β€’ A countdown from 5 to 120 minutes, or an open-ended count-up β€’ Clari, an original companion who reads, rests and celebrates with you β€’ Stars for every finished session, and twelve treasures to collect β€’ Three illustrated rooms, each with a night and a dawn mood β€’ A focus journal with tags and short reflections β€’ A daily focus goal you can change whenever you like β€’ A break timer for five, ten or fifteen minutes β€’ Ambient sound: soft rain, ocean waves, forest birds, a crackling fire, brown noise or a quiet breeze β€’ Your running timer on the lock screen β€’ A daily focus alarm on the days you choose β€’ Optional app blocking with Screen Time during countdowns of 20 minutes or more Use it for study sessions, work sprints, reading, practice, or that email you've been putting off. You can start as a guest without signing up. Create an account when you want to keep your room and pick it up on another device. Ending a session early is fine. You just don't get stars for that one.
