I Built a Pomodoro App in 5 Hours (No Coding Required)
adminJan 16, 2026

Last weekend, I had an idea: create a beautiful, functional Pomodoro timer that actually helps people focus. By the end of the day, FocusHawk was live at focushawk.app.

Total time invested? Five hours.

No developers. No designers. No code written by hand.

Welcome to product development in 2026.

What Is FocusHawk?

FocusHawk is a free Pomodoro timer designed for deep focus. It's built on the time-tested Pomodoro Technique—work in focused 25-minute intervals, take short breaks, and watch your productivity soar.

But FocusHawk isn't just another timer. It includes:

  • Customizable focus sessions - Adjust work and break durations to match your rhythm
  • Immersive background sounds - Choose from ambient soundscapes to enhance concentration
  • Visual progress tracking - See your productivity streaks and completed sessions
  • Cloud synchronization - Your progress follows you across all devices
  • Clean, distraction-free interface - Built for focus, not clutter
