Short focus sessions that fit real attention spans

Lots of study timers are built around 25 minutes or more, which can feel impossible on a hard day. This timer lets you start with just 5 or 10 minutes, or set any length you want. When the time is up, you take a break.

Working in short bursts can make it easier to get started, especially if you have ADHD or tend to put things off. Finishing a session, even a short one, is a win.

How to use it

Choose 5, 10, 15, or 25 minutes, or type a custom time. Press Start, work on one thing until the ring fills up, then take a short break. The timer counts how many sessions you finish each day.
