focus timer

A quick guide to the focus timer.

Setting your time

Press any number key on your keyboard and the clock updates in place.

2 5 and it will show 25:00. Press Backspace to remove the last digit.

The timer captures digits automatically.

The controls

play_arrowStart begins the countdown from wherever the clock is set.
pausePause stops the clock temporarily. The display blinks so you know it's paused. Press Start to resume.
stopStop ends the session early. Anything over a minute still gets logged to your history.
replayReset restores the clock to its original set time without logging anything.
remove−1 min knocks one minute off whatever's left on the clock.

The progress bar

The pill below the clock drains as your session runs.

Ambient sounds

Six sounds live below the controls: rain, fire, cafe, waves, wind, and birds. Each has a slider.

volume_upDrag a slider right to bring that sound in. All the way left is off.
volume_offClick the icon on the left to mute that sound without losing your level. Click again to bring it back.
pauseThe pause button at the top of the Sounds section stops everything at once. Press it again to resume.

Your mix is saved automatically and restored when you come back.

The heatmap

The heatmap is in the settings drawer. Choose to show it or not. It shows the last 30 days as a grid; each square is one day. Darker means more time focused. The current day is outlined. Hover or tap a square to see the exact amount of focused time.

The drawer

Tap the menu icon in the top-right (or press D) to open the side panel. From here you can change the theme, adjust settings, manually add focus time, export your history as a CSV, or clear everything.

Keyboard shortcuts

S start the timer P pause R reset to set time B trigger celebration D open the drawer ⌫ remove last digit entered 0–9 type a duration Esc close the drawer

Your data

Everything stays on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. If you clear your browser storage, your history goes with it; export a CSV first if you want to keep your logged time.

The timer also survives a page refresh. If you close the tab mid-session and come back, the clock picks up from where it should be based on real time.

Adding time manually

Forgot to start the timer? Open the drawer, go to add focus time, type the number of minutes, and tap add. It gets logged into today.

Celebrate

Finished something you're proud of? Open the drawer and tap celebrate. Or press B from anywhere.
