Hey Dev.to fam 👋,
I’m excited to share something I’ve been building lately — StudyFoc.us — a clean, fast, and calming Pomodoro timer designed for deep work and minimal distractions.
🌱 Why I Built It
Like many of you, I’ve tried all sorts of productivity tools. Some were too noisy, others too bloated. I just wanted something:
With a beautiful UI that felt calming
That let me track focus streaks
Had ambience options (white noise, nature, lofi, etc.)
Didn’t require logging in or signing up
So I built it.
🎯 What Is StudyFoc.us?
StudyFoc.us is a focused productivity companion powered by the Pomodoro technique. You can:
✅ Start a Pomodoro timer
✅ Track your daily streak
✅ Add tasks to keep yourself accountable
✅ Enable ambient sounds or Spotify/Youtube playlists

And the best part — it just works. No accounts. No ads. No nonsense.
