Tasks, settings and focus history are stored on your device. Usage analytics are enabled by default and can be disabled in Settings. There is no automatic cloud sync; clearing browser storage can remove local records. Read the privacy details.

The loaded timer and local records can work without a connection. Reloading the website, visiting uncached pages or loading audio and images may require internet access. The website does not guarantee offline reloads.

Choose another tool if you need automatic cross-device sync or app blocking. Compare timer workflows and limitations.

Turn a Vague Task into a Focus Block

Instead of setting a goal such as finish the project, choose an observable step: draft three slide titles, review one spreadsheet or reply to two messages. Put that step in Tasks and make it the session target.

Choose Start Focus when you are ready. Keep only the materials you need nearby and decide which interruptions can wait. The timer provides a visible boundary; it does not block websites, silence other apps or guarantee concentration.

Handle Interruptions and Restart Clearly

If something unrelated comes up, write a brief note or use distraction logging before returning to the task. If you need to stop, Pause holds the remaining time. Leave a restart note explaining the next action.

Review the work alongside your local session history. For practice questions and revision, try the study workflow; for longer project steps, try the deep work timer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a focus session be?

This page starts at 25 minutes. Try a shorter block for a small task or a longer one when you need setup time. Choose an interval you can use comfortably; no duration is best for every task.

Does the focus timer block distractions?

No. It provides a countdown, task linking and distraction logging. Browser tabs, websites and other applications remain under your control.

What happens when I pause?

Pause holds the remaining time. Start Focus resumes the countdown, and Reset Timer restores the selected duration.
