Focus and Pomodoro ​

The Focus page runs a countdown for a stretch of undisturbed work.

The Focus page

Focus session ​

Pick a length with the presets (15, 25, 45, 50), the + and - buttons, or click the clock and type one: 25, 1h30, 45m, 25:00. Add a task and project, then start.

Loop switches to the mini timer while you focus (you can turn this off in Settings > Timer > Mini timer). When the session ends, it is saved as a log marked as focus. A session counts as completed when at least 80 percent of the planned time was done. Every minute counts toward "Minutes focused", even if you stop early.

Pomodoro ​

The Pomodoro page

Turn on Pomodoro to work in rounds with breaks.

  • Set the round length, the short break and the long break.
  • A long break replaces the short one after every 4th round, only when more rounds follow.
  • There is no break after the last round.
  • A whole Pomodoro run is saved as one log, breaks included.
  • The page shows your plan, such as "4 rounds · long break after every 4th round · total 2h 5m", and the progress while it runs.

Sounds ​

Choose a sound for the end of a focus session. In Pomodoro you pick one for when a round ends and another for when a break ends. They are off until you choose one. See Sounds.

Good to know ​

  • Idle detection is paused during a session.
  • Reminders do not ring during a session.
  • Breaks are not logged.
  • You can also mark any normal log as a focus session: in the Log list, open the ⋮ menu and choose Mark as focus session. Settings > Timer > Focus Project Name controls the project those logs can be moved to.
  • The Focus page shows sessions, minutes, your streak and the last 7 days.
