Never lose track of time
with the floating timer
Focusmo for macOS helps you stay aware of time and focus on one task at a time without disrupting your workflow.
It's simple and extremely effective in keeping me on track and not getting distracted by 20 different tasks. And as a bonus, the creator is very responsive and actively working on improving the app.
Always Visible
Stay on top of time while staying in flow
Traditional timers get buried under windows, forcing you to switch contexts just to check the time. Focusmo's floating timer elegantly follows you across all applications, ensuring you're always aware of your current task and time remaining.
Whether you're coding, designing, writing, or analyzing data, the timer remains gently present, keeping you connected to time without adding any additional load or forcing you to break concentration.
Mindful Design
Designed for focus, not distraction
Most timers demand attention with jarring ticks, aggressive countdowns, and anxiety-inducing designs. Focusmo's floating timer was crafted with careful attention to cognitive psychology, using subtle visual cues that register in your peripheral awareness.
The minimal interface shows exactly what you need—your current task and time remaining—without unnecessary controls or visual noise. It's the difference between a timer that works for you versus one that works against you.
Anxiety-Free Time Management
Time awareness without time anxiety
Time anxiety is that constant pressure you feel as seconds tick away. Focusmo transforms your relationship with time by replacing stress-inducing countdowns with gentle visual indicators that promote awareness without urgency.
The subtle wave animations and progress indicators create a calm reminder that time is passing, helping you maintain a healthy pace without the constant pressure of racing against the clock—perfect for creative work that requires both time boundaries and mental freedom.
Your Timer, Your Way
Personalize your time awareness experience
Every workflow is unique, which is why Focusmo's floating timer adapts to your preferences instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all solution. Customize transparency, size, position, and theme to match your personal style and workspace setup.
Whether you need a prominent reminder or just a subtle hint of time passing, the floating timer can be configured to complement your concentration style rather than compete with it—giving you the perfect level of time awareness for your specific needs.
I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it's just handy to have an accountability buddy to remind me: just do one thing, finish this one thing, do what you said you were going to do
Better Together
Part of Your Complete
Focus Ecosystem
The floating timer shines on its own, but it's even more powerful when combined with Focusmo's complete suite of productivity tools, creating a seamless focus experience across your entire workflow.
Pomodoro Integration
Pomodoro technique with visual and audio cues
Combine the floating timer with our Pomodoro implementation for the perfect balance of focus and rest. The timer adapts its appearance to show work and break periods, giving you subtle visual cues that help maintain your rhythm without disrupting your flow.
Apps and Websites Blocking
Block distractions while your timer runs
The floating timer works seamlessly with Focusmo's powerful distraction blocking. When your timer is running, distracting apps and websites can be automatically blocked, creating a truly focused environment.
Never Miss Meetings
Never miss important meetings even during focus sessions

I've been using Focusmo everyday now. The blue waves in banner really helps me visualize time especially when I am time blind, really helps the ADHD brain. I have it always visible so I get reminded constantly of my current task.
