Focus
Timer
The Timer is a plain countdown for anything: the oven, a phone call, a rest between sets. It chimes when it’s done and keeps going while you use other pages. It isn’t saved to your focus record.
When to use it
- Cooking, when you need one clock and don’t want a focus block.
- A short break you want to keep short.
- Anything with a set length that isn’t really work.
Set and start a timer
Phone
- Tap the Menu tab, then Pomodoro under Focus.
- Tap Timer at the top.
Computer
- Click the Pomodoro icon on the app bar.
- Click Timer at the top.
- Pick a length: 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 45 min or 1 hr.
- Or type any number of minutes in the box next to them, from 1 to 600.
- Optional: pick what it’s for next to Working on. That name shows in the notification.
- Tap Start. The ring is blue for the Timer.
- Tap Pause or Resume as you need, or the reset button to start the count over.
When it reaches zero it chimes and sends a notification (if you’ve allowed them), then sets itself back to its length, ready to start again.
Note: The length can only change while the Timer is stopped.
Questions
Why isn’t my Timer in the focus record?
Will I hear it if I’m in another tab?
You’ll get a notification if you allowed them. The chime plays while Tagged is open.
