How it works

Three steps to a focus session

Stand it on your desk about an arm's length away, with your face in frame.

Start focusing

One tap and you're in. Pip settles in to focus with you.

Pip cheers you on

Only real focus counts. Look away, grab your phone, doze off or leave, and the timer pauses.
