Faanke

A red line marks your focus

Only for Mac

Faanke is a pomodoro timer that lives in your menu bar. While you focus, a thin red line traces the edge of your screen and slowly closes the loop, so you can see how much time is left without looking away from your work. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • The edge trace. No badge to check, no window to keep in view. The progress is the border of the screen itself. • It never switches on you. When a phase ends, Faanke asks whether to start the next one or add a few more minutes. Nothing changes until you answer, and the panel can be pushed aside if you are not ready. • Rest is treated like focus. Both phases get the same full-screen trace, each with its own colour and line thickness. • Off is off. Set your work hours and the timer stops at the edge of them and asks what to do, instead of quietly logging the time you spent away from the desk. FEATURES • Menu bar only. No Dock icon, no window in your way. • Adjustable focus, rest and extension lengths. • Four trace styles — Snake, Charge, Comet and Emoji — plus the colour and thickness of each phase, with a preview before you commit. • Draw on every screen, on whichever one your pointer is on, or on a display you pick. • A global keyboard shortcut to start and pause. • History: a year-at-a-glance heatmap, plus a timeline of today. • Launch at login. • Eight languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French and German. PRIVACY Faanke has no network access at all. It is sandboxed without the network entitlement, so it cannot send anything anywhere. Your sessions stay on your Mac. No account, no analytics, no tracking.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• A calmer "time's up": each trace style now finishes in its own way instead of a screen flash, and the dialog eases in. • History fills the whole window again, and hovering shows the details. • Fixed a bug where starting a session outside your work hours from the menu bar immediately asked if you wanted to keep going.
