About this timer
The focus timer is designed for longer, uninterrupted work sessions. Unlike the Pomodoro timer, there are no automatic breaks — you set a single duration and work through it. The task name shows as a reminder of what you committed to.
Research on deep work (Cal Newport) suggests that extended uninterrupted sessions of 90–120 minutes produce the most cognitively demanding output.
How to use it
