Focus Mode

When the room is quiet, the light slowly grows, and a focus mark fills for every stretch of calm. When it gets too loud, everything goes on hold: progress is kept, but the calm has to come back.

Class goal: Fill all nine marks before the session ends.

How Focus Mode works

1. Start the session

Pick a session length, press Begin Session, and allow the microphone. The monitor listens for a moment to learn how your room sounds when it is calm.

2. Quiet builds the light

While the room stays quiet, a soft light breathes and slowly brightens, and a focus mark fills for every stretch of sustained calm. Nine marks complete the session.

3. Noise puts it on hold

If the room gets too loud, the session simply goes on hold: no drama, no cartoons. Earned marks are never lost, and the light picks up where it left off once calm returns.

Focus Mode questions

Is Focus Mode free to use?

expand_more

Yes. Focus Mode is one of the four themes included in the Free plan, with sessions of up to 30 minutes and no account required. Lifetime Pro (a one-time $20 payment) adds the other fourteen themes and unlimited session time.

Can the class lose progress in Focus Mode?

expand_more

No. Focus Mode never takes earned focus marks away. Sustained noise puts the session on hold and the light fades a little, but everything picks up where it left off as soon as calm returns.

What age group is Focus Mode best for?

expand_more

Focus Mode is the grown-up theme: no cartoons, no characters, just a calm breathing light. It is made for older students (upper elementary through high school) and works beautifully for exams, silent reading, libraries and study halls.
