How it works
From zero to focused in a minute
Add it to Chrome
Install from the Chrome Web Store and sign in with Google. A 20-second setup asks your name and daily goal.
Start or join a room
Create a room and share its 8-character invite code, or join a friend's. Rooms are private to their members.
Focus in rhythm
Start a focus session. Everyone in the room sees the same timer, breaks and who's working on what.
Features
Everything you need to stay on task. Nothing you don't.
Shared focus cycle
25-minute focus, 5-minute breaks and a long break after four. Pause, skip or reset, for the whole room at once.
See who's here
Live presence shows who's in the room and what each person is working on, without cameras or microphones.
Light chat
Say hi, share a win, keep each other honest. Chat stays out of the way while you focus.
Daily goal
Pick a daily focus goal and watch your minutes add up as you complete focus sessions.
Gentle nudges
A notification and soft chime when focus or a break ends, even if the side panel is out of sight.
Private by design
No access to the pages you browse, your camera or microphone. Rooms, presence and chat are visible only to room members.
25 minutes on, 5 minutes off
Work in sprints. Rest on purpose.
Focus for 25 minutes, then step away. Coworking keeps count, tells you when to rest, and gives you a long break after every fourth round.
- Four-step cycle indicator so you always know where you are
- Pause and continue without losing your place
- Encouraging break screens, not guilt
Free in any browser · No account
