Productivity Timer

A 25-minute focus timer in your toolbar — and the sites that derail you, closed while it runs.
Takes about 30 seconds. You can start a session any time from the toolbar icon.

Get started in seconds

1
Pin the icon
The badge counts down the minutes, so pinning is what makes the timer visible.
2
Click to start
One click starts 25 minutes. Click again to pause, resume or reset.
3
Add the sites that derail you
While a session runs they redirect to a page showing your time remaining.
Where to find it: The toolbar icon. Settings sit behind the gear in the popup.

What you can do

25/5 focus sessions
Click once. The badge counts down, and a chime marks every change.
Long breaks on schedule
Four focus sessions, then a longer one. The dots in the popup track where you are.
Your own durations
Change every length, and how many sessions come before the long break.
Distracting sites, closed while you work Pro
Sites you choose redirect to a focus page until the session ends.

Your privacy & permissions

Everything stays on your device. No browsing history is collected, nothing is sold, and there are no ads. We do not ask for access to your browsing when you install — Chrome asks you, per site, only when you add one to your block list.
  • storage

    Saves your session lengths, sound preference and blocked-site list on this device.
  • alarms

    Ends your session on time even when the popup is closed.
  • notifications

    Tells you when a focus session or break has finished.
  • offscreen

    Redirects the sites you chose, and only while a focus session is running.
