Focus Timer

Every task card and task view has a little play button. Press it and Fokus starts tracking — a floating timer bar keeps the clock visible while you work, and the minutes land on the task as actual time when you stop.

Starting a timer

• From a card — hover any task in Kanban or Buckets and hit the Start Timer play button.
• From the task view — the play button next to the title does the same.

The timer bar docks into the header, showing the task, elapsed time against your estimate, and (on hover) its controls — pause, Stop & Save, and time logging:

Two modes

• Pomodoro (default) — classic focused sprints with breaks between them. The bar walks you through work and break phases.
• Continuous — one running clock until you stop it. Better for deep sessions where a 25-minute bell would just hurt.

Switch modes from the timer bar's menu.

Stopping

Hit the red Stop & Save and Fokus asks what the session meant:

• Mark as Done — log the time and complete the task. The satisfying one.
• Just Log Time — add the minutes to the task's actual time and leave it open.
• Cancel — keep the timer running after all.

Why bother tracking?

Two reasons, both automatic:

1. Your day summary shows tracked time next to planned time, so you can see where the hours really went.
2. The End-of-Day Review compares actuals to estimates — after a couple of weeks your estimates stop being fiction, which makes auto-scheduling dramatically more realistic.
