Reps Friday, 06:15
Caio wants to surf twice a week. Back on the sand, he picks how it felt, and Reps writes the line.
Flow Timer Friday, 09:10
Caio sets a four-hour goal, rest included. He keeps going while the work goes well, and every five minutes earns a minute of rest to take whenever he wants.
Try it: press Rest. The total stays the same.
Flow Timer Friday, 16:30
Four hours, counting the rest he took and the rest still banked. The timeline shows how his day actually went.
Reps Friday, 22:00
Friday night. This morning’s surf was his second this week, so his aim gets a star. The gym, meditation and Wednesday’s salsa class sit beside it, each in the color of how it felt.
Over the weeks.
Flow Timer shows how long you usually stay focused, and whether that’s growing. Reps shows which hobbies you keep coming back to, and how they felt.

I want these to last.
So there are a few things I can promise about every app here.
Read the whole promise- They stay calm. No streaks, no guilt, and nothing pulling you back. Open one when it helps, close it when you’re done.
- They stay yours. They run on your device and start without an account. Nothing about you is sold.
- They stay alive. The core of each app is free and stays free. Syncing across devices is optional, a small yearly price per app. No ads, ever.
Who makes these
Practical Focus is one person: me, Arthur. Each app started as something I wanted for myself: a timer that let me keep going, and a way to remember the good weeks.
If one helps you, or doesn’t, I’d like to hear it.
