Aesthetic Pomodoro timer
Focus
25:00Studying goes better in a space you like. This aesthetic Pomodoro timer lets you set the scene: a flower field, deep space or a soft aurora, falling sakura petals or snow, your own photo in the background, lofi radio and rain on the window. Then it does the serious part for you: 25-minute focus sessions, breaks, tasks and a streak to keep.

Why a beautiful timer helps you focus
It is not just about looks. A consistent setup works like a ritual: the same scene, the same music and the same clock tell your brain it is time to work, which makes starting easier. Study-with-me videos use exactly this trick, and a timer you enjoy opening is a timer you actually use.
The design also stays out of your way. During a focus session, zen mode hides everything except the time, and the interface fades in fullscreen. Animated scenes pause when the tab is hidden to save battery, and every effect respects your device's reduced-motion setting.

Does this aesthetic timer have lofi music?
