Why it exists
Built for getting back to the work
It's a timer, not another to-do app. Always-visible countdown, a bright minimal focus view, and just the features that matter.
Stay in flow
Tray countdown and quiet controls keep the rhythm nearby without another tab or phone distraction.
Keep it yours
Presets, shortcuts, and history stay local. Nothing leaves your machine.
Start quickly
Pick Classic, Deep Work, or Sprint and start a clean block in seconds.
Go deeper only when wanted
Insights and charts are there when you want them — not as another productivity system to maintain.
Tray countdown
Phase and remaining time in the system tray, with a compact popover for quick control.
Clean break rhythm
Short breaks and long breaks after a set number of focus sessions, without cluttered ceremony.
Private focus history
Daily charts and streaks that help you see the week — stored only on your PC.
Always in sight
Your timer, still in the tray
Keep the countdown in the Windows system tray. Left-click opens a compact popover; right-click gives you quick controls without another window fighting for focus.
Clean rhythm
Stay in the flow when the phase changes
Move from focus into short and long breaks with a calm UI. Honest sessions still save elapsed time if you pause or end early — nothing forced, nothing lost.
Private insights
See where the block went
Hours this week, day streak, and daily charts live on your PC. Insights help you understand your focus rhythm without sending the day off your machine.
Appearance
Light or dark, still calm
Warm cream light mode and a soft peach accent in dark mode — the same quiet look as the desktop app, built for long sessions instead of loud productivity chrome.
