Pause your work and remember where to continue.

Pipwild’s focus timer counts up while you work on a task. When you need to leave, you can pause it and save a note about what to do when you return.

Choose your task

Choose a task from Today before starting a focus session. If you need a reminder of where to begin, add it to the task’s next-action field.

The next action appears beside your focus task, and you can edit it when your plans change. The task’s estimated minutes help with daily planning, while the focus timer records the time you spend.

Let the clock count up

The timer shows how long you have worked in the current session. It keeps counting until you pause or finish; there is no fixed session length.

If you need an alarm for an appointment, set that separately. Pipwild’s focus clock records elapsed time and does not sound an alarm at a deadline.

Leave yourself a return note

Pause the session when you need to leave. Before switching away, save a note about what you finished and what still needs doing, so you have that context when you come back.

If you are leaving the task for another day, park it. You can also edit the next action while the session is paused. Saving that change does not restart the timer.

Finish the block and check the task separately

You can do useful work without finishing the whole task. Close the block when you stop, add a short note if it helps, and mark the task complete only when it is actually done.

Pipwild lets you save the finished block and complete its task together when both are true. Otherwise, the task stays available for another session. Leaving the timer running is not a way to earn extra XP.

  1. Pause or finish when you stop working.
  2. Record what changed or where to begin next.
  3. Check whether the whole task is done before completing it.

Choose how much atmosphere you want

The focus screen has an illustrated observatory with Pip nearby. You can choose day or night appearance and turn sound on or off.

Calm mode reduces decorative motion, and the app also follows your device’s reduced-motion preference.
