Focus Timer
Productivityweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
You sat down to work at nine, and at nine-forty you were reading about lighthouse keepers. Focus Timer is the old kitchen-timer trick, kept in a browser tab: pick a stretch of honest work, start it, and stay with it until it's done. The timer isn't strict with you. It's just present, which turns out to be enough.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I use the Focus Timer?
Start a work stretch, work until it ends, take the break you've earned, repeat. It's the pomodoro idea without the app-store clutter — one tab, one timer, back to work.
Is the Focus Timer good for studying?
It's ideal for it. Students, writers, and anyone doing long-form desk work tend to get the most from working in timed stretches — the timer holds the boundary so your willpower doesn't have to.
Does the Focus Timer work offline?
Yes, completely. It's a single HTML file that runs in your browser with no account and no connection needed — nothing about your work sessions leaves the page, and the file is yours to keep. Try the live demo on this page; it's the real thing.
