Deep Work & Flowtime

Longer focus blocks for work that needs depth

When a task needs more than a 25-minute sprint, Deep Work, 52-17, and Flowtime give you longer, flexible focus blocks that still count toward XP and progress.

Deep Work for uninterrupted focus blocks

Deep Work is built for extended, single-task sessions, for the kind of work that loses value if it gets interrupted every 25 minutes.

  • Longer focus blocks than Pomodoro, aimed at a single task.
  • Counts toward the same XP, levels, and statistics as any other session.
  • Part of the Premium timer techniques.

52-17 for a structured long-focus rhythm

52 minutes of focus followed by a 17-minute break is a rhythm built around natural attention cycles, useful for longer work or study blocks.

  • A fixed, research-inspired focus-to-break ratio.
  • Good for multi-hour work or study sessions.
  • Included with Premium alongside other timer techniques.

Flowtime for flexible, self-paced sessions

Flowtime does not lock you into a fixed duration. You work until you naturally want a break, and the session still counts.

  • Custom duration, set by you rather than a fixed technique.
  • Suited to creative work, coding, or writing sessions.
  • Smart breaks scale with how long you focused.
