Focus4Life: Pomodoro Timer

Focus4Life is a Pomodoro timer and task manager for deep, focused work, built on one idea: every default is backed by peer-reviewed research. Start a focus session, work on what matters, and let calm, science-based breaks do the rest. No gamified pressure, no broken-streak guilt — just sustainable focus for study, work, and anything that needs your full attention.

Focus, backed by science.

Presets rooted in research
Choose a focus rhythm that fits the task, not the other way around:
• Classic — 25 / 5 / 15 min, from Cirillo's original Pomodoro Technique
• Deep Work — 50 / 10 / 30 min, inspired by Cal Newport's "Deep Work"
• Sprint — 15 / 3 / 10 min, a low-resistance start for hard-to-begin tasks
• Ultradian — 90 / 20 min, the Basic Rest-Activity Cycle (Kleitman; Lavie)
Tap the info icon beside any setting to read the study behind it. Pro unlocks fully custom durations.

Silence distractions, stay in focus
Focus Lock keeps you with the task — it nudges, it never punishes:
• Flip to Focus — your phone buzzes if you pick it up mid-session and falls quiet the moment you set it face-down
• Quiet notifications — gentle Do Not Disturb while you focus, and emergency calls always get through
• Block distracting apps — open a time-wasting app and meet a calm "Return to focus" screen, or a firm shield until the session ends

Plan your day, not your guilt
A calm to-do list and task manager designed around how attention really works:
• Priorities, due dates, and recurring tasks — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom
• Estimate a task and the app works out how many pomodoros it needs
• A friendly heads-up when a task runs past two hours, and a prompt to split anything beyond four — because deep focus has daily limits (Boksem & Tops; Ericsson)
• Overdue tasks are never shamed; just pick one to revisit

See where your time really goes
Honest time tracking, not vanity metrics: minutes focused, sessions completed, and a soft "5 of last 7 days" streak that rewards consistency without punishing a missed day, so the habit actually sticks. Pro adds 7-day, 30-day, and all-time history, time-of-day patterns, and per-project breakdowns.

Group your work, reach your goals
Organize tasks into colorful projects, each with an optional note on when and where you'll work — a precommitment technique shown to boost follow-through. Set a goal image and watch it fill in as you complete focus sessions.

A calm place to grow
Every finished session adds to your Garden: a quiet, visual record of effort over time. Progress you can see — never a leaderboard, never a punishment.
