A quiet tool from a music label.

Nova Focus is a free focus timer made by Nova Sounds, a focus-music label in Stockholm. We make music for working and studying, and we wanted a timer that respects the work as much as the music does.

What it is

A timer first: the classic 25/5 Pomodoro, longer blocks like 52/17 and 90/15, Flowtime, and single countdowns from one minute to three hours. Ambient sound is generated in your browser, and our playlists are on the Music page.

There are no accounts and no ads. Your settings stay in your browser. We use Google Analytics to see which pages are useful; the privacy page explains exactly what is collected.

How we write

Articles are written and checked by Nova Focus Editorial, the small team behind the site. We do not invent experts, studies or numbers. Every claim about health, attention or research links to its source, usually the study itself, and we say so when the evidence is thin or mixed.

Nothing on this site is medical advice. If attention problems affect your daily life, talk to a doctor or a qualified professional. Each article shows the date it was last checked.
