The gap

Generic timers count minutes. They don't know whose work you're doing.

You finish a long week of deep work and still can't say how much of it went to which client. Pomodoro apps hand you a number; spreadsheets turn it into a chore.

Focus Timely sits in between — the calm of a focus timer, with the clarity of knowing where your time went — and what it was worth.

Why it's different

Built for people who bill their focus.

Everything a good Pomodoro timer does — plus the one thing they all skip: whose work it was.

Start in two seconds

Open it and focus. No account, no setup — it runs right in your browser, and it's yours from the first session.

Tag focus to a client

Every session carries a project or client. Filter, sort, and read your day the way you actually bill it.

See where it went

A 13-week heatmap, streaks, and analytics by client, weekday, and time of day. Your patterns, made visible.

Track billable time Pro

Set a rate per client and your focus becomes billable totals automatically. See what you've earned this week, ready to export for invoicing.

Know your project margins Pro

Quoting a flat fee? Track hours against the budget and see your real effective rate when it's done — green when you're winning, red when you're underwater.

Your week, in your inbox Pro

AI-written summaries — daily, weekly, or monthly. Your billable totals, top clients, and best day, landed in your inbox. No app required.

How it works

Three steps. No friction.

1

Start a session

Pick a length, hit start. Breaks, ambience, and notifications are built in.

2

Tag it to a client

One tap picks the project. It sticks for the whole session, so every minute is accounted for.

3

See it add up

By client, by day, by week — and summarised in your inbox daily, weekly, or monthly.

Why I'm building this

I run a small agency, and I wanted a focus timer that could tell me where my hours actually went — without turning into yet another time-tracking chore I'd abandon by Wednesday.

Nothing out there sat in the right spot: the pretty timers don't understand clients, and the time-trackers aren't built for focus. So I built Focus Timely in the open — free to use, with billable tracking, project profitability, and inbox reports now live for Pro. If that's a gap you feel too, I'd love to have you along.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need an account?+

No. Open it and start — your sessions, tasks, and history live in your browser. A free account is optional, and it adds cross-device sync and cloud backup.

Is my data safe?+

It's yours. Everything is stored locally on your device, and you can export it as a file anytime. With a free account it also syncs and backs up to the cloud, so clearing your browser can't lose it.

How's it different from Forest or Pomofocus?+

Those are lovely timers. Focus Timely adds the layer they skip: a project/client on every session, analytics by client, plus billable hours, project profitability, and inbox reports. It's a focus timer for people doing client work.

Is it really free?+

Yes. The timer, tasks, history, analytics, and sync are free. Pro adds depth for client work — unlimited projects, billable hours, AI reports, and integrations.

What's in Pro?+

Unlimited projects, billable hours, project profitability, exports, and AI inbox summaries — all live now. $7/mo or $49/yr, cancel anytime.

How do I track billable hours?+

Set an hourly rate for each client, and Focus Timely turns every focus session into a billable total automatically. At the end of the week you can see exactly what you've earned per client — and export it (CSV or XLSX) for invoicing.

Can it tell me if a fixed-fee project was profitable?+

Yes — that's what makes it different. Set your project fee, track hours as you work, and Focus Timely shows your real effective hourly rate when it's done. Green if you beat your target rate, red if it ate more hours than it was worth — so you quote smarter next time.

What's in the email reports?+

Your focus time, billable totals, top clients, project profitability, best day, and streak — a clean summary sent to your inbox daily, weekly, or monthly. You choose the cadence, or turn them off.

Do I have to track time manually?+

No. You just focus — start a session, tag it to a client, and tracking happens by itself. No timesheets. The billing and profitability numbers build automatically from your sessions.

What if I bill some clients hourly and others by project?+

That's exactly what it's built for. Each client can be hourly (earns a billable total) or fixed-fee (tracks profitability against a budget), independently. Most freelancers do both, and Focus Timely handles the mix.

Your next focus session is two seconds away.

No signup. No setup. Just start.
