Be Focused

Be Focused is a cool app that helps you get the most out of your work time. It’s based on the Pomodoro technique, which means you take short breaks to keep your focus sharp and boost your productivity.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro technique is all about working in bursts. You usually work for 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break. After four cycles, you enjoy a longer break of 15 minutes! This simple approach really helps with staying on task and avoiding burnout.

How Does Be Focused Work?

When you launch Be Focused, it adds a little menulet to your status bar. From there, you can easily access a sleek panel where you can keep track of all your tasks. The app automatically sets a timer for each task, so getting started is just a click away!

Customizing Your Timer

You can easily tweak how long each session lasts in the Settings panel. Want to change up that pomodoro timer or adjust your break times? No problem! Whether it’s increasing or decreasing durations or setting how many pomodoros lead to a long break, Be Focused lets you customize everything to fit your style.

Extra Features

This app isn’t just about timing; it gives you some neat options too! You can turn on sound effects when time’s up, decide if you want notifications when tasks are completed, or even choose if the timer shows in the menulet. Plus, set hotkeys for starting or skipping timers—so handy!

Why Use Be Focused?

Be Focused makes sure you stay productive without feeling overwhelmed. By taking those quick breaks, you're more likely to concentrate better and get things done faster. Plus, it’s super user-friendly and lets you manage as many tasks as you'd like! If you're looking for an easy way to boost your productivity while working on macOS, check out Be Focused.
