How it works
A count-up focus session with a 90-minute target and a soft reminder every 30 minutes. At 90 minutes it chimes and keeps counting. The break is your focus time divided by 5, capped at 30 minutes, so 90 minutes of focus earns 18 minutes.
- Press Start; the timer counts up
- A reminder sounds at 30 and 60 minutes
- At 90 minutes it chimes and keeps going
- Tap Break: focus time ÷ 5, between 1 and 30 minutes
