Powerful features built for focus
Six tools that quietly handle the mechanics of a focused workday — so you can get on with the work.
Focus countdown timer
Start a distraction-free work session in one click. Big, readable digits you can see from across the room.
Custom timer modes
Jump between focus, break, study and meeting sessions — or set your own length to match the task.
Productivity analytics
See how many focused sessions you've logged this week and which hours give you the best output.
Smart break reminders
Know exactly when to step away. Recovery isn't a reward for finishing — it's how the work gets finished.
Task management
Attach tasks to sessions so every focus block has a clear, finishable outcome instead of an open to-do.
Cross-device access
Open Big Timer on desktop, tablet or phone and pick up exactly where you left off — nothing to install.
A focus timer that gets out of your way
Big, monospaced digits. A clean progress ring. Nothing else competing for your attention while you work.
- Readable from across the room
- One-tap start, pause and reset
- Silent when you don't need it
See exactly where your productive hours go
A lightweight dashboard surfaces the sessions, time distribution and goal progress you actually care about — without turning into a spreadsheet.

Make the timer fit the way you work
Set session length, notification preferences and theme to match your workflow — then forget about it and just press start.
- Session lengths from 5 to 90 minutes
- Quiet or audible break alerts
- Light, dark and accent themes
