Focus timer for Android
Find your cadence.
Cadence is a timer for focused work. You build sessions from work and break phases exactly the way you need them — and the app counts them down for you.
Features
What Cadence does
Four things, no more. No point system, no wall of statistics, no streaks.
-
Build your own sessions
As many work and break phases as you like, each with its own length. The classic 25/5, 50/10 for deep work — or your own rhythm.
-
A timer that stays out of the way
Large digits, and the phase bar shows where you are. The colour changes between work and break so you notice without looking.
-
Ambient sounds
White or brown noise, rain, train ride or silence — set separately for work and break phases.
-
Keeps running in the background
Screen off, app in the background: the timer keeps running. A local notification tells you when the phase changes.
