How to use the focus timer

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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. Choose that page for your saved general-purpose presets.

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.
