Frequently asked questions

What is CheckFocus?

CheckFocus is a focus timer app that helps users schedule a focus goal and stay with it until the session ends. It can be used for studying, remote work, reading, exam preparation, and building a focused routine with friends or global study rooms.

Is CheckFocus a Pomodoro timer?

CheckFocus is not a traditional Pomodoro timer. Instead of forcing fixed work and break cycles, it lets users set a specific start time and end time for a focus goal and helps reduce app switching during that session.

Can I study with friends using CheckFocus?

Yes. CheckFocus is designed for solo focus as well as studying with friends. Users can join focus sessions together and use shared focus goals as motivation.

Is CheckFocus useful for ADHD?

CheckFocus is not a medical or treatment app for ADHD. It may help users who struggle with focus by giving them a clear time-based goal and reducing app switching during the session.

Can I use CheckFocus while working from home?

Yes. CheckFocus can be used as a work-from-home focus timer. Users can set a work session, stay with one task, and reduce phone distractions during remote work.

What is a focus certificate?

A focus certificate is a record of a completed focus goal. It can be used as proof of study, work focus, or routine completion.

Can I join a global study room?

CheckFocus is designed for global use and can support study rooms where users from different countries focus at the same time.

What happens if I leave the app during a focus session?

CheckFocus is designed to treat app exit or long background time as a failed focus goal. This helps users stay with their focus session instead of switching to other apps.

How many minutes should I set a study focus timer for?

There is no single ideal duration. If starting feels difficult, begin with a manageable 10 to 15 minute session, complete it once, and extend the next session based on your concentration rather than committing to a long timer immediately.

What focus timer can I use if the 25-minute Pomodoro method does not suit me?

Use a goal-based timer that lets you choose a start and end time around the actual task. CheckFocus focuses on a scheduled goal instead of requiring repeated 25-minute work and 5-minute break cycles.

How can a scheduled timer help when I cannot start studying?

Schedule a small first action together with the time, such as solving three questions for 10 minutes at 8 PM. A time, action, and completion condition make the starting point clearer than a general plan to study.

Why use a focus timer that reduces switching to other phone apps?

A basic timer only counts time, while an exit-aware timer also helps manage the habit of checking another app during a session. It works best together with muted notifications and placing the phone away from other distractions.

How is an online study room different from using a study timer alone?

A solo timer centers on your own goal and record. An online study room adds start and completion signals from other participants, which can provide a sense of studying together without requiring distracting conversation.
