How it works

1

Choose a duration

Choose a work or break preset, or start a timer with a custom duration. Each preset has its own name, duration, icon and color.

2

Keep time in view

The wave fills as time passes. A progress ring in the menu bar lets you check the timer while working in another app.

3

Move to the next session

Focus Chain can automatically start the next break or work session. Completed sessions stay in your history, with space for a note.
