How to use this focus timer

  1. Choose a small, clear outcome.

    “Outline three paragraphs” is easier to start than “finish everything.”

  2. Start a focus block.

    The default is 25 minutes. Adjust the length before starting if your task needs a different rhythm. Pause when you need to, or reset to start over.

  3. Take a real break.

    When the session ends, choose Short break and press Start. Stretch, get water, or look away from the screen. After several work blocks, choose a longer break.

Can I use it without the extension?

Yes. This web timer is free and works independently. It remembers your timer in this tab across a reload when browser storage is available. It does not block websites or collect your task text.
