How to make a pomodoro focus timer that's actually yours

~5 minutes · no code · free to start

Every focus app eventually becomes the distraction — accounts, streaks you didn't ask for, upsells mid-session. A focus timer is twenty lines of an idea; it should be exactly yours and nothing more.

This one is: your intervals, your sound, your stats. And when you decide 25 minutes is wrong for you, you change it by saying so.

What you'll end up with

The five steps (same for every app)

  1. 1

    Describe it

    Type what you want in plain English — like you'd explain it to a friend. No technical words needed. Every guide below gives you a ready-made description you can use as-is or edit.

  2. 2

    Check the plan

    Kyntra replies with a short plan in plain English: what it understood and what it's about to build. If it got something wrong, just say so. Happy? Hit Approve. (You can switch on Auto later to skip this step.)

  3. 3

    Watch it build

    About a minute later your app appears in the preview panel — a real, working app, not a mockup. Click around in it right away.

  4. 4

    Ask for changes

    This is where Kyntra is different from hiring anyone: changes are just sentences. "Make it blue." "Add a delete button." "That chart is confusing, make it simpler." Each change takes about a minute, and every version gets a quality grade in the header — Kyntra checks its own work for the mistakes AI builders usually make.

  5. 5

    Publish it

    One click on Publish gives your app a real web address you can send to anyone or open on your phone. Change something later? Publish again — same address, new version.

Your ready-made description

This is the exact text the button below pastes for you — read it, edit anything, or use it as-is.

A pomodoro focus timer: 25-minute work sessions, 5-minute short breaks, 15-minute long break every fourth session, all configurable. Big circular progress ring, start/pause/skip, and a gentle sound at each transition. I can add tasks, pick the active one, and completed pomodoros count per task. A stats row shows today's sessions and total focus minutes. Persist in localStorage. Dark, minimal, distraction-free.

Make it yours — things to say next

After the first build, changes are just sentences in the chat. For example:

You say: Change work sessions to 50 minutes and breaks to 10

Your rhythm, not the default

You say: Play rain sounds during focus, not just a chime at the end

Ambience built in

You say: Add a daily goal of 6 sessions with a progress bar

Gentle pressure, your amount

You say: Hide everything except the ring while a session runs

True zero-distraction mode

Common questions

Does it keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes — the timer keeps counting in the background and the chime still plays.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe, Kyntra builds. You never have to read or touch code — though it's all there if you're curious.

Is it really free?

Yes — free to start, no card. The free plan includes 5 apps and 25 builds a day, which is plenty to build and polish something real.

How do I know the app is any good?

Every version is audited by Kyntra's 17-check quality engine — the same kind of review a senior engineer would do — and stamped with a letter grade you can see in the workspace header.

Five minutes from now, this exists.
