Any length, not just 25
Set 7 minutes or 117. Drag the dial to the exact block your work needs, save it as a preset, and stop bending your day around someone else's tomato timer.

focuswave is an offline focus timer with the soundtrack built in. Set a session to any length you want — not just 25 minutes — and a calm lofi wave carries you from the first minute to the last. No account, no wifi, no noise.

Features
A study app that does exactly one thing, properly.
No boards, no streak guilt, no social layer. A timer, a sound, and a room that gets quieter the longer you stay in it.
Sound that runs the whole session
Choose a lofi loop or an ambient bed and it plays from the first minute to the last — no track changes, no ads, no algorithm deciding what you hear next.
Works with the wifi off
Timer, sound library and history all live on your device. Airplane mode, a dead train tunnel, a library basement — focuswave does not notice the difference.
Nothing to sign into
No account, no cloud, no sync. Your sessions never leave your machine, which means there is nothing to leak and nothing to remember at 2am.
Quiet streaks, kept locally
A soft record of what you actually did: hours focused, longest session, current streak. Encouraging when you look, invisible when you don't.
Built for the late shift
Deep navy, low glare, no white flashes. The interface dims as the session runs so the only thing lit on your desk is the work in front of you.
How it works
Three taps between opening the app and being deep in it.
Choose your length
Pull the dial to anything between 5 and 180 minutes. Presets for the blocks you repeat, one-off lengths for the ones you don't.
Pick your wave
Rain, tape hiss, a night train, a humming library. One tap sets the mood for the entire session — and it keeps going through your break if you want.
Press start and disappear
The screen dims to a single ring of light. When the ring closes, a soft chime lands — no alarm, no jolt, no notification pile waiting for you.
The sound library
Hear them at launch 24 waves, all stored on your device.
Each one is mixed to sit underneath thinking, not on top of it. Six of the library are below — every track ships with the app, so none of them ever buffer.

From the closed beta
“I opened the app, and I was already studying.”
I open it and I'm already studying. There is no feed, no login, no decision to make — just the dial and the rain. My review blocks went from a plan to a habit.
Pomodoro never fit how I code. 90 minutes is my real unit of work, and focuswave is the first timer that just let me say so without a settings maze.
The offline part sold me. My reading room has no signal, and this is the only study app on my laptop that behaves exactly the same down there as it does upstairs.

Questions
Everything else worth knowing.
Yes. The timer, the sound library and your session history all live on your device. Turn on airplane mode and everything still works exactly the same — that is the whole point.
No. Pick any length from 5 to 180 minutes, in one-minute steps. Presets are there if you like them, and you can save your own — a 47-minute reading block is just as valid as a classic Pomodoro.
Every lofi loop and ambient bed ships inside the app, licensed for offline playback. Nothing streams, nothing buffers, and no track ever cuts to an ad in the middle of a session.
There is no account and no cloud sync. Nothing you do in focuswave leaves your device, so there is nothing to log in to and nothing for us to store.
Yes. Sound can fade out with the session, keep playing through your break, or run continuously across a chain of sessions — your choice in settings.
