Phocus — A Beautiful Productivity Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Phocus is a simple time management app aimed at helping you be more productive throughout the day.

Nowadays, it can be pretty hard to avoid distraction while youre trying to get stuff done, what with email and Twitter and lolcats just a click away. Thats where Phocus comes in.

It splits your workday into a series of timed work periods, each followed by a rest period. Knowing a break is just around the corner makes focusing on your current task a lot easier.

With its prominent timer and color-coded progress bar, Phocus acts as a constant reminder, encouraging you to concentrate and letting you know when its okay to goof around for a bit.
