About this app

Reclaim your focus. No distractions. No excuses. Just deep work.

Tired of losing hours to mindless scrolling when you should be getting things done? Meet
Basil, a bold, no-nonsense Pomodoro timer and task manager designed to put you back in
control of your time. Basil doesn't just count down the minutes; it builds a fortress
around your focus.

Why Basil?

✨ A Bold Design for Bold Work
Productivity doesn't have to be boring. Basil features a striking Neo-Brutalist
interface that is as functional as it is beautiful. High contrast, clear typography, and
a distinctive aesthetic ensure that your focus tools feel as modern as your workflow.

🚀 Task-Driven Productivity
Don’t just "work"—work on what matters. Basil lets you link every Pomodoro session to a
specific task. Create your to-do list, assign cycles, and watch your progress grow one
session at a time.

🔒 Strict Mode: Your Focus Bodyguard
Willpower is hard; Basil makes it easy. Enable Strict Mode to automatically block
distracting apps the moment your timer starts. Whether you’re studying for exams or
shipping code, Basil ensures social media and time-wasters stay out of your way until
it’s time for a break.

📊 Insights that Matter

total focus time, monitor how many distractions you’ve successfully blocked, and get a
