How to use the focus timer
Define the next action
Choose an action you can begin now, such as outlining a report or reviewing a file. Put unrelated notifications and tabs aside yourself.
Start a work window
Try twenty-five minutes or choose a shorter window to get started. The running view clears the page content; Fullscreen is available on supported browsers.
Review the result
At zero, note what you did and decide whether to continue, change tasks, or take a separate break.
Focus sessions with a clear purpose
Starting a draft
Use ten minutes to make an outline before choosing a longer writing window. A small starting task can be easier to plan than a whole document.
Reading a technical section
Set thirty minutes to read and take notes on one section, with a check of what still needs clarification at the end.
Working on a project
Choose forty-five minutes for a specific project step. Use the timer on a second screen if your main screen is needed for the work.
A quieter view while you work
- The running timer uses the whole viewport and hides navigation, store links and reading content.
- Show only the liquid level by hiding numbers in Settings, and choose No Alarm for a silent ending.
- Pause and resume with the on-screen control or the space bar when a text field or button is not focused.
This tool uses the same liquid countdown as our free Visual Countdown Timer. Use the homepage to keep your own presets for everyday timing.
Frequently asked questions
Does the focus timer block distracting websites?
No. It gives you a visible work window and a distraction-free timer view. You need to manage other websites and notifications yourself.
How do I enter fullscreen?
Start the timer and select Fullscreen if the button is available. Unsupported browsers still show the running timer without the page content.
Can I hide the countdown numbers?
Yes. Turn off Show Remaining Time in Settings to follow only the liquid animation while the countdown runs.
Can I reset a focus session?
Yes. Stop returns to the duration controls. Start again to begin a fresh session; it does not continue the stopped countdown.
