About Kaizen: Focus & Study Timer
Kaizen is a focus timer that blocks your distracting apps, tracks your habits, and lets you study alongside others in live focus rooms. Start a session and the apps you picked stay blocked until your break. Free to use, with no ads. Premium features are marked below. POMODORO TIMER & STOPWATCH • Presets: Classic (25/5/15), Quick (15/3/10), Extended (50/10/30), Long Focus (90/15/30), or your own • Focus 5 to 180 minutes, short breaks 1 to 60, long breaks 5 to 120 • Stopwatch: count up with no fixed end and finish when you're ready • Auto-start runs sessions back to back while Kaizen is open, up to your long break • Keeps time in the background and notifies you when a session or break ends • Fullscreen mode that shows only the timer • Tag each session (Work, Study, and more) to see where your focus goes APP BLOCKER Kaizen uses Apple's Screen Time to block the apps and websites you choose: • Your apps are blocked during focus sessions and open again on your break • Block now: block them right away, until you turn it off • The block stays in place even if Kaizen is closed • An optional "Open anyway" button: you set how often, how long to wait, and for how long • Block up to 3 apps or websites free • Premium: up to 50 apps, plus Strict mode (stays blocked when you pause) and Locked mode (after the first minute the session can't be skipped or ended, with one emergency end a week) Your choices stay on your device.
