About Focused Work

Focused Work is a powerful timer that helps you have highly productive days.

Inspired by the Pomodoro Technique, it’s purpose-built for people who want to focus for long periods of time. You can create repeatable Focus Sessions that are structured to tackle any kind of task or goal, comprised of Work, Break, and Planning stages.

It helps you be more accountable, reminds you to focus, reflect, and build healthy productivity habits by completing daily goals.
