We’re excited to introduce Timer Extension, a feature designed for those moments when you’re deep in your work and just need a bit more time to finish what you’re doing. Sometimes the timer ends right when you’re on the verge of completing a task—whether it’s finishing a paragraph, wrapping up a code function, or completing that last calculation. Timer Extension lets you quickly add extra minutes without interrupting your flow or breaking your concentration.

How it works

Using Timer Extension is simple and intuitive. When your timer completes, you’ll see an “Extend” button appear in the app, on your widgets, and in your notifications. Just tap the button, and your timer will immediately start again with the extension duration you’ve configured.

The extension timer works just like your regular timer, keeping track of your focus time and maintaining your productivity streak. You can customize how many minutes you want to add by going to Settings > Timer control > Timer extension.

Ready to try it? Download Focusmeter on Google Play or update your existing app to version 1.19 to get Timer Extension today.

Stay in the zone

The beauty of Timer Extension is that it respects your natural work rhythm. We know that productivity isn’t always about rigid time blocks—sometimes you hit a flow state and need the flexibility to keep going. At the same time, the feature is designed to preserve Focusmeter’s core philosophy that rest is as important as focus. The extension is there when you genuinely need it, but it doesn’t appear until your timer has completed, encouraging you to respect your scheduled breaks most of the time.
