Focus timer

When getting started is difficult, or you want to give something a set amount of time, choose a short session. Try ten minutes on an email draft or twenty minutes of learning. You do not have to finish the entire task in one sitting.

Start a session

1. Open Focus → Timer.
2. Drag one unfinished task into the box, or press Choose on board and select its card.
3. Set the minutes by typing, using the minus and plus buttons, or scrolling over the counter. The range is 1 to 1440 minutes.
4. Press Start. A compact window shows the time and task title; other tasks are dimmed.

While working

Move the timer using its top handle. Click the time to open the full view. Pause and resume the countdown, or stop the session with the close button. Before starting, use Change task or the cross beside the title to replace or clear your selection.

When time is up

A short bell sounds, and the timer displays an accent highlight and “Time is up”. The visual signal remains until you press the checkmark button, Done. The task is not marked complete automatically: decide whether to complete it on the board or return to it later.

Keep Plynno open and check your device volume for the sound. Device sleep or browser restrictions may delay the notification; the timer checks the actual time when you return.

Try it now

Choose a small task, set ten minutes and start with one concrete step. After the signal, review what you did and decide whether another session would help.
