Read full description
Kaizen is a focus timer that blocks your distracting apps, tracks your habits, and lets you study alongside others in live focus rooms. Start a session and the apps you picked stay blocked until your break.
Free to use, with no ads. Premium features are marked below.
POMODORO TIMER & STOPWATCH
• Presets: Classic (25/5/15), Quick (15/3/10), Extended (50/10/30), Long Focus (90/15/30), or your own
• Focus 5 to 180 minutes, short breaks 1 to 60, long breaks 5 to 120
• Stopwatch: count up with no fixed end and finish when you're ready
• Auto-start runs sessions back to back while Kaizen is open, up to your long break
• Keeps time in the background and notifies you when a session or break ends
• Fullscreen mode that shows only the timer
• Tag each session (Work, Study, and more) to see where your focus goes
APP BLOCKER
Kaizen uses Apple's Screen Time to block the apps and websites you choose:
• Your apps are blocked during focus sessions and open again on your break
• Block now: block them right away, until you turn it off
• The block stays in place even if Kaizen is closed
• An optional "Open anyway" button: you set how often, how long to wait, and for how long
• Block up to 3 apps or websites free
• Premium: up to 50 apps, plus Strict mode (stays blocked when you pause) and Locked mode (after the first minute the session can't be skipped or ended, with one emergency end a week)
Your choices stay on your device. Kaizen can't see which apps you picked.
HABIT TRACKER
• Check-off habits, or timed habits your focus sessions count toward
• Schedules: daily, specific weekdays, or a number of times per week
• Forgiving streaks: a skipped day doesn't break them
• A consistency score and trend chart for every habit
• Backdate any past day and keep your full history
• Reminders that follow each habit's schedule
• Up to 5 active habits free, unlimited with Premium
FOCUS ROOMS
Stay on task next to other people, without a video call:
• Join any room free, or host a private one and invite up to 3 friends with a link
• See who's focusing, on a break, or paused, with live timers
• No camera or microphone, just your avatar and quiet company
• Premium: host public or bigger rooms (up to 50 people), and share the task you're working on
Many people with ADHD use this kind of body doubling to get started and keep going.
TASKS
• Jot a task down in one line now, plan the details later
• An unlimited inbox, so capturing a thought never hits a limit
• Priorities, due dates, subtasks, time estimates, and reminders
