Focus Timer runs Pomodoro focus sessions with smart breaks and tracks your daily progress and achievements. - [Open-ended timer for long deep work sessions](https://www.odel.dev/use-cases/open-ended-timer-for-long-deep-work-sessions): Fixed intervals can interrupt deep work. Flow mode is an open-ended timer for long sessions, and session alerts still arrive while the app is in the background. - [Focus timer with ambient sounds](https://www.odel.dev/use-cases/focus-timer-with-ambient-sounds): Background noise makes it hard to concentrate. Focus Timer includes ambient sounds for focused work alongside task planning. - [Pomodoro timer with a task list on iPhone](https://www.odel.dev/use-cases/pomodoro-timer-with-a-task-list-on-iphone): Switching between a timer and a to-do app breaks focus. Focus Timer keeps task planning next to Pomodoro sessions and smart breaks, and logs every session. - [Start a focus session from the Home Screen](https://www.odel.dev/use-cases/start-a-focus-session-from-the-home-screen): Opening an app to start a timer is one more distraction. Focus Timer sessions start from Home Screen widgets, app icon quick actions, or Siri and Spotlight shortcuts. ## What's new in 1.0.5 (2026-10-14) • Flow mode: an open-ended timer for long deep work • Siri and Spotlight shortcuts • Session alerts while the app is in the background • Quick actions from the app icon • No daily limit on the timer • Design polish and bug fixes ## Questions ### Will I get alerts if I leave the app?
