What FocusTide is
FocusTide is a browser-based Pomodoro timer for structuring work sessions and breaks. The work timer starts at 25 minutes, and you can change session lengths, select built-in presets, and choose how often long breaks occur. At the end of a section, the timer can stop, continue, or advance to the next one. Breaks can start automatically, and overtime tracking can show time spent past a timer’s expiration. Display options show time in seconds, in minutes, or as a percentage.
A space-key shortcut starts or pauses the timer. Adaptive ticking reduces how often it ticks while the app is in the background. You can turn on sounds and desktop notifications for section endings, with Musical and Sharp sound sets available. An optional task list can limit the number of active tasks shown and remove completed tasks when a new section begins. FocusTide runs on the web and can be installed through a browser as a Progressive Web App, though installation is not required. Its source code is public, and the project welcomes contributions and issues. The site identifies AnotherPomodoro as the app’s former name and another-pomodoro.app as its old domain.
