About this app

Focus Friend is a cozy, gamified focus timer created by online educator Hank Green!

When you Focus, your Bean Friend will Focus. If you interrupt your Bean by turning off the timer, they'll be really really sad.

Complete your focus session, and this cute Bean will give you prizes to buy decorations to help furnish their room.

Perfect for anyone who struggles with long sessions of concentration. Focus Friend is for students and beyond.

Features:
- Live Activity: See your timer progress when your phone is locked
- Deep Focus Mode: Lock distracting apps during your focus sessions
- Break Timers: Decorate on your breaks, using the Pomodoro method of productivity
- Hundreds of decorations: Decorate your room in different fun themes
- Bean Skins: Try on different Bean types to customize your Focus Friend (Coffee Bean, Edamame Bean, Pinto Bean, Kitty Bean, or even Hank and John Green... Or rather Hank and John Bean!)

Focus Friend will even help you with getting started on your tasks and getting into the flow of your work or studying or even chores.

Stay Focused, Have Fun, Drink Water, and Don't Forget to be Awesome~

I struggle to keep reading when my phone is within arms reach. Focus Friend has given me a low key nudge to keep from reaching for it between chapters. I don't use the locking feature, so I can still get in if I need to, but the little nudge is just enough to keep me from doom scrolling endlessly. The app is also undeniably cute. I'm looking forward to new updates and new decorations!

I love it for sleeping, just getting off my phone for a few minutes in between activities to clear my mind and reading. I wish there was a black cat bean for Halloween, and different music (maybe for sleeping?), and I heard talk about more rooms which would be cool. focus house that timers built. oh, longer timers? but, it's really great so far, and I'm really pleased with it.

Thanks for your kind words! We're so glad Focus Friend helps you unwind and refocus. We love your ideas—seasonal beans, new music, more rooms, and longer timers are all things we’re exploring for future updates. Your feedback really inspires us!

I love this little app! It is the perfect incentive to leave my phone alone while I'm focused on other things. One of the best uses so far has been setting it for 15-30 minutes when I'm crawling in bed. It helps me not pick up my phone and do all the last-minute things I think of and then end up distracted and awake until 2:00 am. I get to settle well and still have my phone at arms reach when I wake up or if there is an emergency.
