Stay on task, build momentum, and get things done one session at a time.

Juggling work, family responsibilities, study sessions, errands, and everyday tasks can leave even the most organized among us feeling scattered. And for those who struggle with focus — whether from distraction, overwhelm, or ADHD — it can feel even harder. Focus isn’t just about willpower. It’s about rhythm, structure, and knowing where to start.

That’s why we built the Sortifyd Focus Timer, a simple yet powerful tool to help you cut through distractions, stay grounded, and feel accomplished at the end of each day.

Fully integrated into the Lists screen in Sortifyd, the Focus Timer is inspired by the proven Pomodoro technique. It encourages you to work in short, intentional bursts with mindful breaks in between. Whether you’re deep in work mode, finishing a school assignment, or just trying to clear your personal to-dos, it brings calm, clarity, and momentum — one session at a time.

Build your rhythm with focused sessions

Instead of trying to push through one long stretch of work, the Focus Timer invites you to work in short, timed sessions. By breaking your work into manageable intervals with rest built in, you can focus more fully without burning out.

You can customize how long each Focus Session lasts and how often breaks occur. You can also pause or reset your timer at any time based on what the day demands.

Stay accountable with linked tasks

Each session starts with a task — either one pulled from your Lists or something new. When the session ends, you can mark it complete and see it reflected in your task progress.

Whether you’re powering through a project or simply committing to 25 minutes of focused decluttering, linking tasks helps you stay grounded and intentional.

Earn acorns and build momentum

Every completed Focus Session earns you an acorn, a small but meaningful reward that celebrates consistency.

Acorns are displayed on your timer screen and tracked over time. They make progress feel tangible and give you a quiet nudge to come back tomorrow and do it again.

Visualize your progress

The Focus Summary shows how many sessions you’ve completed and how your time has been distributed across the week. You’ll see patterns, wins, and areas where you might want to protect your time more deliberately.

And best of all, you’ll see how those tiny acorns start to add up.

Make it yours

Everyone’s focus works a little differently. That’s why the Focus Timer is built to fit your flow.

• Set custom durations for Focus Sessions, Short Breaks, and Long Breaks
• Turn on ticking, chimes, or ambient background sounds like rain or forest
• Keep your screen awake while the timer runs
• Choose whether sessions and breaks auto start

One session. One task. One step closer.

The Focus Timer isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more present with whatever you choose to do. Whether you’re working, studying, or just trying to stay on top of everyday tasks, Sortifyd now gives you a calm, consistent way to make progress.
