Settle into a longer stretch of study or work. A ten-minute break is ready when you finish.
Your saved session is still here.
Focus 1 of 4
Make time for yourself
Use a longer session for a piece of reading, a draft, or a set of study exercises. The 50/10 rhythm gives you a clear point to step away; an existing running or paused session is kept until you choose to replace it.
Choose your task and press Start focusing. When fifty minutes are complete, press Start short break when you are ready. After the break, start your next focus yourself. There is no automatic restart.
Before you begin, decide what progress would look like: an outline, one section of a project, or a topic reviewed. At the end, write down your next step and leave the work ready for your return. You do not have to fill the whole session if you finish early.
Fifty minutes is long enough that your surroundings matter. Open a room such as Night Rain or Manhattan Midnight to put a calm scene behind the countdown, or use the Study With Me page for the same 50/10 rhythm in a quiet room. Turn on Keep screen on, where supported, so the display does not dim halfway through.
Both combine focus time with breaks. The Deep work preset uses 50 minutes of focus and ten off; the Classic preset uses 25 minutes of focus and five off. Neither needs to be your permanent setting. Choose the rhythm that suits the task.
After every four completed focus phases, the timer offers a long break. This page sets that break to twenty minutes. Skipped phases do not count as completed focuses, and an existing saved focus count is kept.
Yes. Layer rain, fireplace, ocean, instrumental music, or white, pink or brown noise, each with its own volume. If you like the result, save it as a session with the 50/10 durations and relaunch it next time in one click.
Yes. The countdown works from a fixed end time, so it shows the right remaining time when you return. Audio may stop while the device sleeps.
