How it works

Three steps, every round

01

Set your session

Pick a work length and a break length, or use the defaults from the original Pomodoro Technique.

02

Focus, distraction-free

TimeZen counts down quietly in the background. No feeds, no badges, nothing competing for your attention.

03

Take the break you earned

A gentle cue tells you when to stop. Step away, then come back for the next round, fully recharged.

Reviews

What focused work sounds like

The first timer app I've stuck with for more than a week. The break reminders actually get me away from my desk.
Marcus Thorne · Beta Tester
Simple enough that I set it up once and never had to think about it again. That's exactly what I wanted.
Elena Rostova · Beta Tester
Seeing my sessions stack up through the week is a small thing, but it keeps me honest about how I'm spending my time.
