I’ve tried so many focus timers, THIS is my favourite one!

I just absolutely love everything about this focus timer app. This is coming from someone who has used Forest, Visual Timer and a multitude of other pomodoro style timers.

I love that I can custom build my own plan, focus and break timers. I love the motivating messages. I like that I can set an intention for the session with “I will be working on...” and I like that I can rate the productivity of my sessions and provide a reason why. I love the celebratory confetti when I get a session done. The UI is soooo sleek and intuitive and everything just makes sense.

There’s also some really nice touches the dev has put into it. Like the ability to customise the colour of the Focused Work app timer on your home screen. I think there’s a few more with the Premium version of the app, but this review is based solely on the free version! Anyway I’m a massive fan. Keep up the great work!

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for the kind review! 😁 The level of flexibility offered was something I always wanted in a focus timer too, and was a driving force behind creating Focused Work!

I also wanted a study buddy that taps me on the shoulder to stop doing things that are distracting me from the task at hand. It really makes me happy to see this level of appreciation, and I can’t wait to continue making the app even better than it currently during the year!

Enjoy, and all the best with productive adventures! 🙏

Super app!

The killer feature for me is the shortcuts integration and being able to automatically turn on and off focus modes so I don’t even think about interactions.

Plus I am a great fan of doing things from the menu bar, being able to manage all the stages and timers, and the gentle sound effects.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the super kind review! 🙌 It's great to hear that you really appreciate automation support, amongst the other features you mentioned. Being able to automatically turn a Focus on when a focus session begins is definitely helpful for staying on task. Enjoy!

Keeps me on track!

Really great app for creating and following routines. Especially good if you use Toggl too. I really like the way there is a pop out timer too that overlays all other apps. Very responsive developer who is committed to his cause! Keep up the good work!

Developer Response ,

Appreciate the kind review, thank you! 🙏 Great to hear you're loving Focused Work and its flexibility + the integrations. They're indeed really handy! Keep up the great productivity, cheers!
