Ratings and Reviews
Best Pomodora style timer – and it’s free!
I’ve tried almost a dozen of these types of timers. Just Focus is hands-down the best one I found. I can’t believe it’s free. I would definitely pay for this, especially considering the price of the other options. I’m an IT & logistics director full-time and a freelance web designer on the side. I’m on the computer all the time. This is an essential tool for me to stay focused and keep from getting burnt out. I have ADHD so I need help staying on task, but I can’t stand for anything to clutter my workspace or interface. This is perfectly minimalist while still providing a good measure of control and customization.
While the app is practically perfect, I have just a few suggestions. First of all, the default sound effects are nice but a bit soft for me – customization here would be nice. I’d also like to see the ability to choose your own wallpaper source, either by adding new feeds or choosing a destination folder locally. Although I personally love the design quotes, it would be cool to add new feeds or add your own as well.
Keep up the great work. I’m excited to keep using this app!
Absolutely perfect focus timer for my ADHD!
Just Focus is the best countown timer that I have used… and I’ve used them all.
Simple menu bar timer countsdown the minutes until the break, and 1 minute before the break you get an alert (or banner… your choice) letting you know that in 1 minute, your break begins. When the timer hits 00:00, your screen is covered by an image and you are forced to take a breather. It’s brilliant and it works incredibly well.
Like I said, this is the best countdown timer that I have used. The only thing that would make it better is if we could use a small window that floats over top all other windows. Pomello does a great job at this… but I enjoy Just Focus much better… and I want things my way. :)
The best for my ADHD :)
TLDR - After 5 years of use this is still the best pomo app for me. It actually interrupts me to break my hyperfocus when I need it, and really helps with my perception of time.
Here's why:
- The one minute left alert is a great motivator.
- The countdown timer at the top helps my time-blindness.
- The fact that it actually interrupts me at the end of a pomo, with a full screen splash screen, is the absolute gamechanger for me and what sets it apart for other apps! (And I've tried a bunch.)
I hyperfocus a LOT. Just Focus keeps me from hyperfocusing too long on something that doesn't deserve it, and allows me to reassess during the break whether or not I should move on.
Bonuses - Custom messages on the splash screen (lets me remind myself to sit up or rest my eyes), and the new feature that lets you add one more minute to the pomo, just in case you were almost finished with a task.
Thank you, thank you for this very helpful app!
