A desk centerpiece, not another timer.
Focus Dashboard turns a spare phone or tablet into a proper desk clock and workspace — modular widgets you arrange yourself, a Pomodoro timer that keeps you honest, and a live audio visualiser that breathes with the room.
What Focus Dashboard does.
Built, shipped and supported in-house — every part of it made by the same person who answers your email.
Modular widgets
Mix and match only what you need — clocks, a Pomodoro timer, a live audio equaliser, media controls and daily quotes. Turn off anything you don't.
Deep customisation
Set your own wallpaper and pick your clock: analog in Classic, Minimal, Numerical or Pill, or digital in Standard, Bold or Thin.
Precision control
An HSV hue slider gives you any colour you want, and a scale slider resizes widgets on the fly until the layout sits exactly right.
Layouts per orientation
Build one scene for portrait when the phone is standing up, and a completely different desk-clock layout for landscape. It switches as you turn it.
Profile system
Save up to three visual scenes and swap between them instantly — a calm one for deep work, a brighter one for the afternoon.
Made to be left running
Designed as an object you'd happily leave on the desk all day rather than a utility you open, use and close.

Made for the phone you stopped carrying.
Focus Dashboard turns a spare or older Android phone into something worth leaving out on show, rather than a drawer full of nothing.
Questions, answered.
Is Focus Dashboard free?
Yes — it's free to download from Google Play. Some premium styles and the deeper customisation options are available through an in-app purchase, which supports development.
Can I use it as a landscape desk clock?
Yes. Focus Dashboard keeps separate layouts for portrait and landscape, so the scene you build for a standing phone is different from your desk-clock view and it switches automatically when you rotate.
How many layouts can I save?
Up to three profiles. Each one stores its own widget arrangement, colours and clock style, and you can switch between them instantly.
Is there an iPhone version?
An iOS version is in development and will be released as soon as it clears App Store review.
Which Android devices does it work on?
Any modern Android phone or tablet. It's especially at home on a spare device you can leave docked or charging on a desk.
Is there a free Pomodoro timer app for Android?
Yes. Focus Dashboard is free on Google Play and the Pomodoro timer is part of the free app, alongside the clock faces, scenes and soundscapes. Premium clock styles and the deeper customisation options are an optional one-time purchase.
Can I use an old phone as a desk clock?
That is exactly what it is built for. Leave an older Android phone docked or on a charger, pick a clock face and a scene, and it becomes a desk clock — with burn-in protection built in for OLED screens left running all day.
Does it show the weather and what is playing?
Yes. The weather widget needs no API key or account, and the now-playing widget shows whatever music app is running, with a visualiser that moves with the sound in the room.
