Focus Now - Pomodoro Timer

About Focus Now - Pomodoro Timer

Pomodoro Technique

Focus Now is based on the Pomodoro Technique. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method designed to enhance productivity and efficiency. The approach is simple and effective: 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute short break. After 4 focus intervals, you take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. By dividing your work into 25-minute focus sessions, you can concentrate on a task. The short breaks help prevent overworking and losing focus. Additionally, the Pomodoro Technique can help you stay motivated as you work or study, with fixed focus and break times. This way, you not only work more productively and efficiently but also more effectively and with greater concentration.


More Than Pomodoro

While Focus Now is based on the Pomodoro Technique, it offers you the freedom to adapt the technique or create your own custom approach that suits you. Focus Now is more than just the Pomodoro Technique. With Focus Now, you can freely configure your routines and discover unique applications for your timer. You can make Focus Now your very own timer, tailored to your specific needs. You don't have to use the timer for learning or work; you can explore various use cases and customize Focus Now accordingly.

Interval Timer

You can also use Focus Now as a perfect interval timer. By configuring focus times and short or long breaks, you can customize your intervals as needed. You can even set repetitions to complete your configured interval two or more times.


Overview

In the timer settings, you always have an overview. At the top, you can see your current configuration, allowing you to quickly understand how your learning or work phase will progress. If you frequently repeat a routine, you can easily save the current configuration as a template and switch between configurations with a single click.


Templates

Templates help you use the timer for various purposes. You can use one of the existing templates or create your own. Assign a name and an optional icon for quick identification. With templates, you can quickly switch between your configurations and, for example, complete a stretching exercise right after studying. You can configure the templates to suit your needs.


Skip Phases

If you finish your task early or don't need the full break, you can skip phases. The next phase will start immediately, saving you time. When following the Pomodoro Technique for work or study, we recommend using the full break time to ensure you are fully concentrated and can work effectively in the next phase.


Automatic Phase Changes

You decide whether the next phase should start automatically or only after you activate it. Focus Now gives you full control.


Statistics

With statistics, you can track your work over a week, month, or even a whole year. You can review all your past routines and see when you did what. Focus Now also shows your progress compared to the previous week, month, or year.

Concentration now begins!
