What is the Focus Timer?
The Focus Timer gives you structured work sessions with three preset modes: Quick Sprint (25 minutes) for fast tasks, Deep Block (45 minutes) for focused work, and Flow State (90 minutes) for deep creative or technical work. Each session tracks what you accomplish and builds a focus habit over time.
