About this app

Focus Ritual is a focus timer and study timer built for the hardest part of deep work: getting started.

You don't lack time. You lack a switch. Most timers assume you've already started. Focus Ritual works on the minute before. A short, unskippable 3-card ritual primes your mind, then a clean full-screen timer keeps you locked in until the work is done.

HOW IT WORKS

1. SET YOUR TARGET
Name the task, dial the minutes (5 to 180) and pick a category.

2. PRIME WITH THE RITUAL
Mindset, identity, activation. Three cards, hard cuts, huge type. This is the switch.

3. LOCK IN
A full-screen countdown with a glowing progress ring and nothing else. Need more time? Add 5 minutes without stopping.

4. CLAIM YOUR FOCUS CARD
Finish and get a high-resolution card with your task, duration and time, in your session's own colors. Save it or share it.

PLAN YOUR DAY
• A to-do list made for focus: save tasks with their duration, category and color, then start any of them in one tap
• Plan for today, tomorrow or any date, with optional reminders
• Your daily plan is waiting when you open the app, and tasks check themselves off when the session ends

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Focus stats: total focus time, daily average, longest session, best day
• Streaks and a 16-week consistency calendar
• See when you focus best, by time of day and day of week
• Time per category and your top tasks
• A Mosaic of every session, plus Day, Week and Month cards

BLOCK DISTRACTIONS (OPTIONAL)
Strict Mode locks your phone to calls only, or blocks just the apps you choose, for the length of a session. It is off by default and needs your permission. It uses Android's Accessibility service only to see which app is opened during a session you started, and never reads what's on your screen.

MADE FOR STUDYING AND DEEP WORK
Use it as a study timer for exam prep, a Pomodoro-style timer for 25-minute sprints, or a deep work timer for long sessions of coding, writing, reading or practice. Built-in categories (Work, Study, Reading, Build, Practice) each bring their own words and colors.

THEMES THAT MEAN SOMETHING
6 free color themes, plus 6 more with Premium. Terminal for late-night deep work, Inferno when you need intensity, Midnight for calm focus.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no login
• No ads
• Your tasks, sessions and history stay on your device

BUILT FOR
Students in demanding fields, developers, writers, founders and professionals. Anyone who knows what to work on but struggles with the first minute of starting. Beat procrastination by making the start automatic.

Focus doesn't need more willpower. It needs a switch.
