Question 1

What is the 1% of your day timer?

Accepted Answer

1% of a 24-hour day is exactly 14 minutes and 24 seconds. focuscube turns that fraction into a focus session — a deliberate, repeatable block inspired by the Atomic Habits idea of getting 1% better every day.

Question 2

How is focuscube different from a regular pomodoro timer?

Accepted Answer

focuscube includes the classic 25-minute pomodoro, but adds a 1%-of-your-day mode (14:24), a 5-minute reset, and a 60-minute deep work mode. Each session is rendered as a 3D cube you can roll between modes — minimal, tactile, and free of notifications.

Question 3

Is focuscube inspired by Atomic Habits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 1% mode is a direct nod to James Clear's Atomic Habits — the idea that small, consistent improvements compound. Spending 1% of your day on focused work is a low-friction way to build that habit.

Question 4

Can I do deep work or flow sessions with focuscube?

Accepted Answer

The 60-minute mode is designed for deep work and flow — long enough to drop into the task, short enough to stay sharp. A soft chime closes the session so you do not have to watch the clock.

Question 5

Does focuscube cost anything?

Accepted Answer

No. focuscube is free to use in your browser. No accounts required to start a session — sign in is optional and only used to sync settings across devices.
