Focus Timer is now live on Tools.Town — a clean, configurable countdown timer designed for focused work sessions, with browser notifications, an audible alert, and a completed-sessions counter.
Set your target duration, start the timer, and work. When the time’s up, you’ll know — even with the tab in the background.
What Does It Do?
Countdown
Set any duration from 5 minutes to 3 hours. The large countdown display keeps you aware of remaining time.
Alerts
Browser notification and audible chime fire when the session ends — tab doesn't need to be active.
Session Tracking
Counts completed sessions so you can gauge your daily focus output at a glance.
The timer continues running if you switch tabs or minimize the window — your session won’t be interrupted by other browser activity.
How It Works
Set duration
Choose a preset (25, 45, 60, 90 min) or type a custom duration in minutes.
Start focusing
Click Start and switch to your work. The timer runs in the background.
Get notified
An alert fires when the session ends. Mark it complete and start the next one.
Why We Built It
The Pomodoro technique is popular, but 25-minute sessions don’t work for everyone. Deep technical work often needs 60–90 minute blocks. Focus Timer gives you a timer without the opinionated structure — just a reliable countdown, a clear alert, and a session count so you know how productive the day has been.
