A study day with Focusium
- You press start
A lecture begins. Your sites stay open, and everything else waits.
- The lecture video still opens
Your course page links a video on YouTube. It opens, even though you never added YouTube.
- A slip lands softly
You open Reddit out of habit. A calm page asks why you’re there, you tap Tired, and you get a short tip.
- A break, sized by you
After five minutes of focus you can step away. Slide to choose how long, and focus picks up again afterwards.
- The week, looked back on
The weekly review shows your minutes per day, your best time of day and the sites you reached for most.
Study in rounds, or until you stop
Choose Sessions to focus and rest in rounds, for example 25 minutes on and 5 off, four times. Choose Minutes to set a timer that ends by itself. Or choose Until I stop for a long afternoon with no set plan.
Small things that help
- Reader view: on articles on your sites, just the text, calm and easy to read. You can turn it off.
- A quiet browser: website notifications are blocked and background tabs are muted.
- A daily goal of 60 minutes, a streak and 19 badges. Small rewards, no guilt.
- Four keyboard shortcuts: Alt+O opens Focusium, Alt+F starts, Alt+K takes a break and Alt+S stops.
Questions
Will my lecture videos still open?
Yes. A video linked from one of your sites, like a lecture on YouTube, still opens, and you don’t need to add YouTube to your list.
Is it free for students?
Focusium is free for everyone. There’s no account to make and there are no ads.
Which browser does it need?
Google Chrome, on a computer.
Ready when you are.
Add Focusium to Chrome, choose the sites you need and begin.
