Frequently asked questions
What is a deep work timer?
A deep work timer supports long, distraction-free focus sessions with setup, execution, recovery, and shutdown phases.
How long should a deep work session be?
Many people use 60 to 90 minute blocks. Shorter 45-minute blocks can work well when attention or schedule constraints are tighter.
Can this work for remote co-working?
Yes. Create an XTimer room when a remote group needs a shared focus display and one person controlling the timer.
