What FocusLive is

FocusLive is a web Pomodoro timer for focused work, studying and virtual coworking. Its timer cycles through focus sessions, short breaks and long breaks, with custom settings, session history and focus tracking. The listed uses include deep work, studying, revision, reading, homework and exam preparation. Coworking does not require joining a video room, and an optional live map shows active FocusLive users around the world in real time. The core timer works without an account; personalized or member-only features require one. Sign-in uses Google OAuth, and Google account information is not displayed to other users. The Free plan costs nothing. FocusLive's policy says it collects timer session data, device and browser information, and anonymized analytics. For the Pro Global Focus Map, precise coordinates are collected with browser permission and deleted within a few minutes. The policy says personal data is not sold and lists HTTPS transmission, Supabase infrastructure and access controls as security measures.
