Sisyphus: Focus Timer

AnythingSoft

About this app

Focus deeper. Push the rock. Climb higher every day.

Sisyphus is a distraction-free Pomodoro timer built on one idea: do the work, then do it again tomorrow. No ads. No accounts. No subscriptions. Just you, a timer, and the climb.

Inspired by the myth, you push the rock up the mountain every single day. Each focus session moves Sisyphus closer to the summit as your progress ring fills. When the session ends, reflect, take a break, and push again.

Why Sisyphus

Most timer apps fight for your attention with points, badges, notifications, and upsells. Sisyphus protects it. Black and white. Zero clutter. A fullscreen pure-black focus mode that disappears so the work can take over.

Built for deep work
• Set a 25, 30, 45, or 60 minute session
• Watch the climb as a calm illustration rises while you focus
• Distraction-free fullscreen mode, no interruptions mid-session
• A short aphorism to center you when the session ends

Build the habit. Don't break the chain.
• Streak tracking for consecutive days you showed up
• 30-day focus heatmap
• Daily, weekly, and monthly summaries
• See your progress over time and stay consistent

Private and free, for real
• Completely free, with no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalled features
• No account, no login, no email
• Fully offline, so every session stays on your device

Who it's for
• Students studying or prepping for exams
• Writers, coders, and anyone doing deep work
• Anyone who wants a calm, minimalist focus routine without the noise

Consistency beats intensity. One session today. Another tomorrow. The summit takes care of itself.

"One must imagine Sisyphus happy." Albert Camus
