The Timer Window is a small, always-on-top floating window that displays your plan’s current status and countdown timer. It keeps you aware of your plan without needing to open the main FocusMe window.

​
What It Shows

The Timer Window displays:
  • Plan name — which plan the timer belongs to
  • Status message — whether the plan is active, on break, in delay, etc.
  • Countdown timer — time remaining in the current session, break, or delay
Each plan can have its own Timer Window, so you can track multiple plans simultaneously.

​
Showing and Hiding

There are several ways to show or hide a Timer Window:
MethodHow
Context menuRight-click a plan → Show Timer Window or Hide Timer Window
Plan detailsOpen the plan details and toggle the Timer Window checkbox
Close buttonClick the close button on the Timer Window itself to hide it

​
Behaviour

  • Always on top — the Timer Window floats above all other windows so you can always see it
  • Draggable — click and drag to reposition the window anywhere on screen. FocusMe remembers the position between sessions
  • Greyscale when inactive — when the plan is not currently active (e.g., outside schedule hours), the Timer Window appears greyed out
  • Per-plan — each plan has its own independent Timer Window

​
Selectively Show Timer Windows

If you have many plans, you may not want a Timer Window for each one. Use the Selectively Show Timer Windows setting to control which plans display their timer.
The Timer Window is especially useful for Time Limit and Pomodoro plans where tracking remaining time helps you plan your work sessions.
