A focus system that actually keeps you focused

BreakItDown is a focus system disguised as a task list. Pick a task, hit Focus, and the rest of the app disappears. The big timer counts down, soft beeps at 30s, ticking countdown at 10s, red pulsing display, and a triple chime when you're done.

In short

BreakItDown is a focus system for deep work — Pomodoro timer, audio cues at 30s and 10s, fullscreen focus mode, and AI subtask breakdown.
