focus tools your
brain actually wants.
a pomodoro timer with built-in brown noise, and a handful of other small tools.
three flavours
click any color above to try it.
brown noise
deep, rumbly, low-end heavy. like rain on a thick tent. the one most ADHD brains end up loving.
pink noise
softer than white, warmer than brown. equal energy per octave, closer to wind in leaves than a dishwasher.
white noise
the bright one. a flat hiss across all frequencies. best for masking voices and high-frequency office distractions.
more small tools
a handful of things i wanted for myself. all free, all client-side, all in one place.
sound mixer
layer rain, fireplace, café, and three colors of noise. save your mix.
breathing
guided box, 4-7-8, and physiological sigh. one circle, no nonsense.
life in weeks
your life as a 90-year grid of squares. occasionally sobering.
newADHD quiz
the unofficial asrs v1.1. takes about two minutes.
countdown
to a date, a deadline, or the next sunday. shareable link.
bpm tapper
tap a key in time. tells you the tempo. surprisingly useful.
your stats
sessions, streaks, a heatmap. all in your browser.
tab timer
minimalist countdown that lives in your browser tab.
why i built this.
i have ADHD. pomodoro broke me. 25 minutes was always either too short or right when i was getting into flow. brown noise on YouTube was great until an ad kicked in mid-session. Brain.fm wants $70 a year.
so i built this. one page, no account, no upsell. open a tab, hit space, get to work.

all posts →eat the frog, for people who keep eating the snack instead
the idea of just tackling your hardest task first thing sounds simple. "eat the frog" is a classic productivity hack, but for brains that prefer a distraction buffet, it can feel more like "eat the entire swamp." we get it, sometimes that urgent, important thing just sits there, while the snack drawer calls.
time blocking vs pomodoro: side by side
trying to get stuff done when your brain feels like a pinball machine? you've probably heard of time blocking and the pomodoro technique. both are popular ways to tackle tasks, but they go about it in different ways. let's put them head-to-head.
what cal newport's deep work gets right (and what it misses for adhd)
Cal Newport's concept of deep work has gained massive traction, promising a path to profound productivity in a distracted world. for anyone struggling with focus, it sounds like a dream. but does this popular framework truly work for everyone, especially those of us with ADHD brains?
