Focus: a Pomodoro timer in your MacBook notch

Start a 25-minute session in one click. A thin line fills along the notch as you work, so you always know how long is left without a window in the way.

Four clocks

  • Pomodoro for work and break cycles.
  • Countdown for anything with a deadline.
  • Stopwatch for timing a task.
  • Hydration, a gentle nudge to drink water.

Quiet while you work

Your pet keeps its sounds to itself during a focus session. Pair Focus with Sounds for rain or brown noise, generated on your Mac.

⌃⌥Space

Hover over the notch, or press Control-Option-Space from any app, then pick the tool from Home or More.

Questions, answered.

Does the timer keep running if I close the panel?

Yes. The closed notch shows the progress line and the time left.

Is there a clock in the notch all the time?

No. The notch only shows time while a timer is actually running.
