Description
Focusito is a Pomodoro timer app for those who want to improve their focus on any task, study for school, or stay in a deep flow for a fixed amount of time without being disturbed by external noises.
By incorporating nature sounds and binaural beats, Focusito helps you create the perfect auditory environment for your work and study.
The Pomodoro Technique, when combined with nature sounds, has been scientifically proven to enhance concentration, productivity, and motivation levels, while reducing stress, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with ADHD. Additionally Binaural Beats are effective in maintaining deep focus by blocking out distracting background noise.
Use Focusito to:
• Limit doomscrolling
• Focus on any assignment
• Keep flow longer with the help of nature sounds
• Boost concentration using Binaural Beats
• Study for school
Focusito will help you to:
• Overcome the fear of starting boring assignments
• Have clear deadlines to increase focus and productivity
• Maintain progress in your work or study with calming nature sounds
• Protect eye health
• Calm down your ADHD with Binaural Beats
• Become an effective Pomodoro user
// HOW POMODORO TIMER WORKS AS A FOCUS KEEPER
The Pomodoro (Tomato) timer technique divides activities into 25-minute sessions called “Pomodoros.” During each Pomodoro, you focus exclusively on one task, supported by Binaural Beats or nature sounds to enhance your focus.
After each session, a short pause helps you relax, while the soothing nature sounds prepare your mind for the next session. These pauses allow the brain to distance from the task for a while and not lose interest. If you concentrate on something for a long time, the brain loses deep focus and starts to “sabotage” the effort at hand.
It is the brain’s natural defense mechanism. It avoids overworking in the following way: if it’s focused on an object for a long time, it just starts ignoring it and the focus shifts. To prevent this loss of flow and motivation, all you need to do is take two short pauses each working hour. As an ADHD focus keeper, our app reminds you to take these breaks, enhanced by the ambient nature sounds.
// HOW TO USE FOCUSITO
1. Select the Task: Choose the study task you want to focus on.
2. Set the Timer: Set the timer to 25 minutes and start your flow session, supported by Binaural Beats or Nature Sounds.
3. Take a 5-minute break when the timer goes off.
4. Repeat: Continue this cycle, taking longer breaks after four sessions.

Ratings and Reviews
It's missing a notification at the end of every interval
It could be better if the app had a notification sound to chose from. There's times when it'll go silent while I'm working and I won't notice.
Developer Response ,
Hodge, we have added 5 different notification sounds in version 1.1.3. You can choose whichever you like and even set up the volume of this notification. This way, you will not miss the timer ending anymore!
AWESOME! but where is the break timer?
This is great, but seems good for a one-off work/study session. I don't see a method for taking a break, after messing with the app for a while. Maybe there is a way, but its not easy to find. Sticking with "timeout", but this one is useful for background ambiet sounds.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback! The break timer has been available since version 1.1.3. Give it a try!
ONE WORD.. AMAZING!
I've used many pomodoro timers over time, never came across something like this.
It's AD-FREE and also has a lovely touch with ambient sounds, which is cool to be honest.
My request would be to please keep it free and ad-less, so students like me can make the most of it ;)
