The focus timer loads at 25:00 so you can start a deep-work slice without setup. It is the full online timer — skins, queue, sleep mode — aimed at makers and knowledge work, not kitchens.
Focus dies in open tabs. A visible deadline on a spare display is a social contract with yourself. Background-tab math keeps the end time honest. After the alarm, take a walk or open the 5 minute timer; do not immediately start another 25 unless you still have fuel.
01
Start focus at 25:00
Hit Start and hide other windows. Fullscreen or sleep mode keeps only the digits. Add +1 min if you are in flow and the alarm would wreck a sentence.
02
Start the countdown
Press Start or Space. Progress updates on a circular dial, and the face shows when the timer ends. Pause anytime, add +1 min, queue another timer, or go fullscreen / sleep for a distraction-free display. The tab title shows remaining time while you work elsewhere.
03
Hear the alert & keep going
When time is up, stop the alarm with one tap. Start the next queued timer, review local history, export CSV, or copy a shareable link. A refresh restores an in-progress countdown on this device.
A focus timer that is not a productivity suite
This page does not ask for a task name up front. If you want tasks, labels, and a local streak, use the Pomodoro cockpit on the home page. Come here when you only need a clean 25:00 clock and a shareable link.
Frequently asked questions
Setting the dial, presets, alerts, and embeds — quick answers.
How is a focus timer different from a study timer?
Both open at 25:00 on this site. Study copy is for homework and revision. Focus copy is for deep work — writing, code, design — with the same engine.
Will the focus timer work in a background tab?
Yes. Timing uses a deadline timestamp, so a throttled tab still finishes on time. The tab title shows remaining minutes while it runs.
Can I run 50-minute focus blocks?
Yes. Change the dial or use the 45 or 60 minute timer pages. This landing is the 25-minute default many people actually start.
Is there a focus streak on this page?
Streaks live on the Pomodoro home page, private on this device. This timer keeps local countdown history you can export, not a daily streak.
