Focal, a Pomodoro App
Focal is a pomodoro web app. I know there's a lot of productivity apps already, but I'm releasing this since I figure someone might find it useful. Focal was more of a short, 3 day project so it may be rough around the edges, but I think it does the job. In any case, Focal is open source and I would be happy to merge contributions. Here's the github repository: https://github.com/aabiji/focal Have a nice day!
Focal, a Pomodoro App launched on June 28, 2024 with 49 votes, #753 of 4,672 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Focal is a web-based pomodoro timer application designed for anyone looking to manage work intervals using the pomodoro technique. Built as a short-term project, the app provides basic functionality for productivity tracking. The application is open source, allowing users to access the code and contribute improvements through its public repository.

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
