About FocusTimer
Every minute counts. We built FocusTimer to help you make the most of yours.
Our Mission
FocusTimer was created with a simple but powerful goal: to provide a completely free, privacy-first productivity tool that actually helps people focus. In a world full of distracting apps and services that track your every move, we wanted to build something different—something that respects your time, your privacy, and your need for deep, uninterrupted work.
Whether you're a student preparing for exams, a developer debugging complex code, a writer crafting your next article, or an indie maker building your dream project, FocusTimer is designed to help you achieve your best work. We believe that everyone deserves access to powerful productivity tools without sacrificing their privacy or paying subscription fees.

Our Story
FocusTimer started as a personal project when I found myself frustrated with existing productivity timers. They were either bloated with unnecessary features, required accounts and subscriptions, or worse—tracked my every move to sell my data to advertisers.
As a developer who values both productivity and privacy, I decided to build the timer I wished existed. Something clean, fast, and respectful of users. What started as a simple Pomodoro timer quickly evolved into a comprehensive suite of focus tools, each designed for different work styles and preferences.
Today, FocusTimer serves thousands of users worldwide—students cramming for finals, developers shipping features, writers meeting deadlines, and makers building their dreams. Every piece of feedback helps us improve, and every user who finds value in our tool motivates us to keep it free and open for everyone.
Built with Modern Technology
FocusTimer is built using cutting-edge web technologies to ensure the best possible experience. We use Next.js 16 for blazing-fast performance, React 19 for smooth interactions, and Tailwind CSS for a beautiful, responsive design that works perfectly on any device.
The entire application runs client-side in your browser, which means your timer sessions continue even when you're offline or switch tabs. We leverage browser APIs like Picture-in-Picture mode, desktop notifications, and local storage to provide a native app-like experience without requiring any downloads or installations.
