ProjectsFocusHabits
Focus sessions, habits, and projects, without the noise.
Plan the work, protect the time to do it, and build the habits that make it stick — in one calm workspace that works with your Google Calendar and Gmail.
Focus Better is in invite-only early access — you'll enter your code at sign-up.
The loop
Plan it. Focus on it. Make it stick.
Three tools that work on their own and even better together — so the work that matters actually gets done.
- 01 · Projects
Plan the work
Turn big goals into projects with tasks, subtasks, and milestones, then move them across a board shaped around your own workflow.
- Drag-and-drop board with your own statuses
- Milestones, subtasks, and tags
- Capture ideas and turn them into tasks
- 02 · Focus
Protect the time
Start a focus session in one tap — Deep Work, Pomodoro, Sprint, or your own timing — with a soundscape to help you settle in.
- Four 25-minute Pomodoro rounds, 50-minute Deep Work, 90-minute Sprints, or your own
- Link a session to the task or project it's for
- Schedule sessions, including repeating ones
- 03 · Habits
Make it stick
Keep daily, weekly, or monthly habits with streaks that stay honest. You check in when it's done — nothing is ticked off for you.
- Streaks and personal bests for every cadence
- Reminders at the time you choose
- Optional sync to Google Calendar
Google integrations
Works with the Google tools you already use
Sign in with Google, see your calendar next to your plans, keep an eye on your inbox, and keep your tasks in step. Every connection is optional and asks only for what it needs.
OptionalSign in with Google
Create your account or log in with one click — no new password to remember.
- Access
- Your name, email address, and profile picture
openid · email · profile - Our promise
- Your Google password never reaches Focus Better.
OptionalGoogle Calendar
See your Google events next to your plans in one merged calendar. Scheduled focus sessions — repeating ones too — and the habits you choose to sync appear on your primary calendar.
- Access
- View and edit events on your calendars, and see the list of calendars you are subscribed to
calendar.events · calendar.calendarlist.readonly - Our promise
- Only events Focus Better created are ever changed. Your own events are never edited or deleted.
OptionalGmail
Send and schedule new emails you write, with recipient suggestions from your contacts. After Google's review, your browser can also read, sort, and answer your Gmail from the Inbox page: mark read, archive, snooze, move to Trash, report spam, reply, and turn an email into a task.
- Access
- Send new email you write from your Gmail account, and see your contacts to suggest recipients
gmail.send · contacts.readonly · contacts.other.readonly · email - In your browser only:
gmail.modify · gmail.settings.basic(after Google's review) - Our promise
- Gmail messages, lists, labels, signatures, filters and attachments go only between your browser and Google. They are never sent to or stored on Focus Better servers. Focus Better acts only when you ask it to and never permanently deletes mail.
OptionalGoogle Tasks
Pair a project with a Google task list so a task added, changed, or finished in one place follows to the other, and see your dated Google tasks on the calendar.
- Access
- View and edit your task lists and tasks
tasks - Our promise
- A Google task changes only when it syncs with a project you paired or when you mark it done in Focus Better.
- Optional
Push reminders
via Firebase Cloud Messaging
Opt in to browser notifications, like a heads-up five minutes before a scheduled focus session starts.
- Access
- A notification token for this browser — no Google account data
- Our promise
- Off until you turn it on in Settings, and off again whenever you like.
Opt in, one by one
Calendar, Gmail, and Tasks connect separately from Settings → Integrations.
Encrypted at rest
Google access tokens held by our servers are encrypted. Browser-only Gmail access is kept in memory for at most an hour.
Disconnect any time
From Focus Better, or from your Google Account's third-party connections page, which removes every Google permission.
Never sold or used for ads
Google data is never sold, used for advertising, or used to train AI models.
Focus Better's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Details that matter
Built for real days, not perfect ones
The small things that keep you going when the day doesn't go to plan.
A timer that keeps time
Sessions run on our servers, so a reload, a closed tab, or a switch to another device never costs you a minute.
Keeps working offline
Start, pause, and check in without a connection — your sessions and check-ins sync when you're back online.
A climb, not a chore
Steady days of focus and habits move you up Mount Olympus, one of twenty basecamps at a time.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need a Google account?
No. You can sign up with an email address and password. Sign in with Google, Google Calendar, and Gmail are all optional.
Can Focus Better send email or change my calendar?
Only when you ask it to. From the Inbox page you can reply, send or schedule email, archive, snooze, report spam, block a sender, or move mail to Trash in Gmail or Outlook; it never permanently deletes mail. Gmail is read and managed in your browser, directly with Google, so your Gmail messages never reach our servers; Focus Better servers only send the new emails you write and schedule. Outlook tasks made from an email keep its subject, sender and date, and any text or files you copy in. On Google Calendar it only adds and updates the focus sessions and habits you choose to sync; your own events are never edited or deleted.
What happens if I close the tab during a focus session?
Nothing is lost. The session lives on our servers, so the timer is still right when you come back — on this device or another.
Does a focus session tick off my habits?
No. Habits are always a deliberate check-in. You can label a session with a habit for your own reporting, but it never completes the habit or changes a streak.
How do I disconnect Google?
Open Settings → Integrations in Focus Better and disconnect Calendar or Gmail, or choose “Stop using Gmail in this browser” to drop browser-only Gmail access. To remove Google access entirely, use your Google Account's third-party connections. That removes every Google permission Focus Better holds: Calendar, Tasks, and sign-in.
How Focus Better works with Gmail since October 2026
Gmail mail is now read in your browser only, directly with Google, and never reaches Focus Better servers. Scheduled Gmail emails were returned to Gmail Drafts. Snoozed conversations are in All Mail. Blocked senders need blocking again. Tasks keep their text but no longer show the email's subject to others. Reconnect Gmail once to keep sending from Focus Better. If reconnecting says your account still holds the older Gmail access, remove Focus Better in your Google Account's third-party connections and connect Gmail again. That also removes Calendar, Tasks and sign-in for Focus Better, so reconnect those afterwards.
