About Focus Valley

Focus Valley is a browser based Pomodoro timer for students, developers and remote workers who want structure and a little friendly competition. The default preset runs 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5 minute break. Each minute of completed focus earns a spark, and daily streaks are stored locally, so no account is needed. Signing up is optional and serves only two purposes: joining the world leaderboard, which resets every Monday in UTC, and syncing data across devices. The top three each week receive Gems, which never expire. A desktop app that covers the screen when work stops is described on the site but is temporarily unavailable. The web timer is free with no time limit.
