Deep Work
Define your focus. Start the clock.
A free focus timer for deep, uninterrupted work. Pick a session length, name your task, and start the clock above — no sign-up, no ads, nothing competing for your attention.
Most timers bury the clock under settings, banners, and links. Deepnous does the opposite: a full-screen, dark interface with only the time, your task, and the controls. The less there is on screen, the easier it is to stay with the work.
Short sprints are great for getting started; longer blocks are better for deep work that needs a running start. Set 25 minutes for a quick push, or 45, 50, or 90 minutes when you want to sink into something and not surface until it's done. The duration is fully editable — tap the time and enter any hours, minutes, and seconds.
Deepnous counts down against an absolute end time and runs the tick in a web worker, so the timer stays accurate even when the tab is in the background and the browser throttles ordinary timers. When the session ends you get a gentle chime and a browser notification — so you can keep your eyes on the work, not the clock.
It depends on the work. Many people focus well in 45 to 90-minute blocks for deep work, or 25 minutes for shorter sprints. Deepnous lets you set any length, so you can match the session to the task.
A Pomodoro timer uses fixed 25-minute intervals with set breaks. A focus timer is more flexible — you choose the length, which suits longer, uninterrupted deep-work sessions. Deepnous works as either.
No. Deepnous has no ads and a deliberately bare interface. The only alert is a gentle chime and an optional browser notification when your session ends.
