Reliable background timing
Recalculate from an end timestamp when the browser throttles an inactive tab.
Simple, accessible focus timer
Run a focus cycle without creating an account.
Set the work and break rhythm that fits the task, keep the next transition visible, and export a local session summary.

Pomodoro timer
The timer uses a target timestamp instead of counting fragile browser intervals, so returning to a background tab recalculates the remaining time correctly.

Next: short break after this focus session
Ready
Keyboard: focus the timer panel, then press Space to start/pause or S to skip.
Private by design. Task notes and timer history remain in memory for this tab and are cleared when you reset or close it.

The jobs this tool completes
Built around the failure points.
User-chosen cycle length
Adapt work, short breaks, long breaks, and cycle count rather than enforcing one ritual.
Accessible control
Start, pause, skip, reset, and read the current phase with keyboard and screen-reader status.
Workflow
From input to an auditable output.
- Set focus and break lengths and optionally name the task.
- Start, pause, or skip with visible controls while the phase and next transition remain announced.
- After each cycle, review completed focus minutes and download a plain session summary if useful.

Does this guarantee the result will be accepted elsewhere?
No. The tool completes and explains its calculation or transformation, but another platform can apply different limits, rules, encoders, or policies. Verify consequential output in the destination.
