Frequently Asked Questions

What is a focus timer?

A focus timer is a countdown timer designed for productivity. You set a duration, start the timer, and work with full concentration until it finishes. It helps you stay focused on a single task without distractions.

How long should a focus session be?

Focus sessions typically range from 15 to 90 minutes. Common choices are 25 minutes (Pomodoro-style), 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. Start shorter and experiment to find what works best for your concentration.

Is this the same as Pomodoro?

Not exactly. Pomodoro uses fixed 25-minute work sessions with automatic breaks. The Focus Timer is more flexible—you choose any duration for a single session without built-in break cycles.

Can I pause and resume?

Yes! Click Pause to stop the countdown temporarily, then Resume to continue from where you left off. This is useful if you're interrupted during a focus session.

Can I share a focus timer link?

Yes, click the share button to copy a link with your current timer duration. When others open the link, they'll see the timer pre-set with the same time.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, the Focus Timer is fully responsive and works on all devices including smartphones and tablets. No app installation required.

Will it play a sound when finished?

Yes, an audio alert plays when the timer reaches zero to notify you that your focus session is complete. You can mute the sound if preferred.

Does it keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes, the timer continues running in the background when you switch browser tabs. The remaining time also appears in the browser tab title so you can monitor progress.
