The Pomodoro Technique is designed to help you get the most out of your work time: by taking short and frequent breaks, both your concentration and productivity levels will increase.

focus (formerly Pomodoro Time) is a minimalist OS X utility designed to help you incorporate Pomodoro technology into your own workflow without having to deal with complicated setups.

Out of the box timer app

Once launched, Be Focused places a small menu in your status bar, allowing you to access a stylish panel where you can organize your upcoming tasks. The app automatically adds a timer to each entry, and you can start it with just a click of the mouse.

By default, work sessions have 25 minutes, short breaks have 5 minutes, and long breaks have 15 minutes. After 4 Pomodoros you take a long break, and your goal is to complete 10 Pomodoros per task.

Effortlessly adjust the timer to your own schedule

The Settings panel lets you quickly change the duration of these time periods: you can increase or decrease the Pomodoro timer, the break time, the number of Pomodoros that must be completed for a long break, and more.

The same area allows you to enable the timer sound, decide if you want to see a completion notification, or if the timer should be included in the status bar menu. Additionally, you can set your own hotkey to start or skip the timer.

A simple utility based on the Pomodoro method

Be Focused helps you be more productive by ensuring you’re always productive: with short but frequent breaks, you’ll be better able to focus on the task at hand. All in all, the app is very easy to use and allows you to monitor any number of tasks.
