Focus booster App is a simple and elegant Adobe AIR application designed
to help you eliminate the anxiety of time and enhance your focus and concentration. This technique is getting quite a following and I even wrote about it on my personal blog back in June 2009. You can see the original Pomodoro Technique website here for more detailed background on this productivity management system.

focus booster is a digital pomodoro timer to help you implement the Pomodoro Technique as quickly and efficiently as possible. Use it with ease and no fuss to focus on the things that are important, ignoring the distractions.

Personal productivity management is key to getting things done especially when working on your own, think of it as a tool to enable your personal productivity program.

The app offers alarm and buzzer sounds for indication of your session timeout. The visual bar will slowly change color as time passes by and nears the end of your pomodoro session.

Focus booster App is also available as an in browser tool as well as an Adobe AIR desktop app.

Design eye

Very simple and elegant solution and Focus booster App is better for it. A separate window handles the apps preferences for your pomodoro session.

You can resize the app slightly and watch how the scale resizes too, nice.

There is a really nice compact mode although the button to activate it is rather on the small side having this ‘always in front’ of your other apps simply ticking away really works.

Technical eye

Built using Adobe Flex and the AIR framework.

In summary

So if you have not checked out the Pomodoro techniques to enable your personal productivity management system then try this app out today and get productive!
