Native idle detection
Reads Windows idle time through the desktop shell instead of guessing from browser events.
Focturn for desktop
A quiet reminder before your break turns into the whole afternoon.
Focturn watches local idle time, then nudges you with a popup, sound, and notification when your configured break limit has passed.

Features
Focused on one job: bring you back gently.
Popup, sound, notification
Uses several quiet prompts so a short break does not disappear into the afternoon.
Tray-first background flow
Closing the window keeps monitoring alive, with controls available from the system tray.
Current-session usage
Shows which apps shaped the current session without requiring an account or cloud sync.
Product values
Small, native, and honest about what it tracks.
Local by default
Settings and activity summaries stay on the machine and pass through the Tauri boundary.
Focused scope
Focturn does not try to become a full productivity suite. It watches idle time and nudges you back.
Respectful interruption
Snooze and temporary pause keep the reminder useful without turning it into another distraction.
How it works
Set it once, then let it run in the background.
- Set a threshold that matches your real break rhythm.
- Let Focturn sit in the tray while you code, study, or review.
- Return when the reminder appears, or snooze it with intent.
Local-first
Your activity stays on your machine.
Focturn stores settings locally and uses native desktop APIs for idle detection and current-session usage summaries. No account is required for the current app.
