Focus Timer
Pomodoro sessions of 25, 50 minutes or your own length, with soft ambient sound, live in the notch.
What it is
Focus Timer runs pomodoro sessions: 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break by default, or any length from 5 to 180 minutes. The time left shows in the notch and the menu bar.
Add soft ambient sound while you focus: Soft Rain, Distant Typing or Brown Noise. A gentle chime marks the end. Sounds stay quiet during calls, screen recordings and in your quiet apps.
Your Blip can nap beside the notch while you focus, and apps you pick can be hidden while a session runs. Your minutes per day stay on this Mac.

- Turn on Do Not Disturb too (with Shortcuts) to let macOS Do Not Disturb follow your sessions.
