Frequently Asked Questions
What is a focus screen?
A focus screen is a distraction-free fullscreen timer designed for deep work and studying. It displays a clean countdown with motivational messages, automatically transitions to a break when your session ends, and tracks how many sessions you've completed. The dark, minimal design eliminates visual distractions so you can concentrate fully on your work.
How is the focus screen different from a Pomodoro timer?
The focus screen is more flexible than a traditional Pomodoro timer. While Pomodoro uses fixed 25-minute sessions, the focus screen lets you choose session lengths from 25 to 90 minutes — better suited for deep work that requires longer uninterrupted periods. It also features a fullscreen mode with a calming dark background and rotating motivational messages.
What session length should I use?
25 minutes works well for tasks requiring frequent context-switching. 45–60 minutes is ideal for most deep work tasks like writing, coding, or studying. 90 minutes aligns with the brain's natural ultradian rhythm — the cycle of peak focus followed by a rest period. Experiment to find what works best for your workflow.
Can I use the focus screen on a second monitor?
Yes, and this is one of the best use cases. Open the focus screen on your secondary monitor in fullscreen mode. It provides a clean, non-distracting visual anchor that reminds you to stay on task, while your primary monitor shows your work. The dark background also reduces eye strain from the secondary display.
Does the focus screen work offline?
Yes. Once the page is loaded, the focus screen timer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. It does not require an internet connection to function. You can even save the page for offline use in most browsers.
