Why it works

Attention is a resource.
Spend it in shifts.

Timed sessions

Pick a task, set a length, and let the ring hold the clock — so your mind doesn't have to keep checking it.

Breaks that count

Short recovery windows sit between every session, so fatigue doesn't quietly compound across the day.

Visible momentum

Every finished session leaves a mark on your day — proof that stacks up, not a to-do list that just empties out.

The ring

See the whole session at a glance.

No dashboards, no nested menus. One ring shows what you're working on, how much time is left, and how many sessions you've already finished today.

  • Current task, always in view
  • Session length you set once and forget
  • A dot for every session you complete

The pause

Breaks are part of the plan, not an interruption to it.

When a session ends, Focus switches the ring to a calmer color and a shorter clock. Stand up, look away, come back — the next session is already queued.

  • Automatic hand-off from work to rest
  • A distinct color for break time, so you feel the shift
  • Gentle sound cue instead of a jarring alarm

Everywhere the work is

On your Mac. In your pocket. On the desk beside you.

Sessions stay in sync, so a break you start on your Mac still tells you when it's over — on your phone.

Used in the wild

People finishing things, on their own terms.

"I stopped measuring my day by how full my inbox was and started measuring it by how many rings I closed."

"The break actually happens now. I used to skip it and burn out by 4pm most days."

Sam T. — Freelance Writer

"It's the first timer app that didn't need a settings tour. I opened it and understood it."

Marcus O. — Software Engineer

"Watching the dots fill in under the ring is a weirdly good feeling. Small, but it adds up."
