Focus and break timer in your notch

Run focused work timers from the notch with quick start/stop controls and a clear countdown. It keeps session tracking visible without opening a separate timer app.

What it does

  • Scrub Focus or Break to any length, from 1 minute to 8 hours
  • Start or stop sessions instantly from the notch
  • Compact HUD with live session progress
  • Optional focus title per session

How to use it

  1. Pick Focus or Break, scrub the time tape to the length you want and press Start Timer in the notch. With Start instantly on, opening the widget starts your last timer straight away; right-click the running widget to go back to the picker.
  2. Give the session a focus title if it helps you remember what you sat down to do.
  3. Turn on ambient sound for the length of the timer: brown noise, pink noise, fireplace or airplane.

Where it shows up

  • Notch widget
  • Live Activity
  • Lock screen
  • Global shortcut
  • Action Ring button
  • Droppy for iPhone

The lock screen shows the countdown while a session runs, on its own card above the login area.

Workflows

25 and 5, without an app

Focus and Break each keep their last length, so set them once and start from the notch or an Action Ring button. The countdown runs in the notch and on the lock screen, so it is visible whatever you are doing.

Mirror an Apple Clock timer

Turn on Clock timer mirroring and a timer started in Apple's Clock app shows up here, so the two never disagree.

Tips

  • The Action Ring can carry pause and resume, next section, and a plain stopwatch, which is the fastest way to run one without opening the widget.
  • Keep the timer visible in the notch if you would rather see it than be surprised by it.
  • Live Activities on the iPhone track the same timer, and you can scrub it from there.
