Make the first step smaller
What would you like
to make time for?
A whole project can wait. Give the next concrete step a session of its own.
Get past the blank page.
Start with an opening paragraph. Keep that goal visible while you turn a rough idea into a first draft.
Add your writing task ↗Stay with one problem.
Choose the bug or screen you're working on. Add the other fixes to Later as you notice them.
Add your next fix ↗Give one topic your time.
Pick a chapter or a set of problems. Work through a session, then take a break before continuing.
Add your study task ↗The floating pod
A small timer.
Room for your work.
Open the floating pod and drag it where it fits. Your task and remaining time stay visible while you work in another window.
Prefer a clear desktop? Close the desk and return through your goal in the menu bar. Your session keeps going.
From starting to stepping away
A session has an ending.
Your work can take longer.
Start with 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break, or choose times that suit the task. Offset gives you a moment to decide what comes next.
The goal stays visible for your return.
- 01
Give it your attention.
Set 5–60 minutes of focus. Pause when you need to, then resume the same session.
- 02
Take the break.
When focus ends, your break starts automatically. Keep the goal for another session or mark it done.
- 03
Come back when ready.
When the break ends, the timer waits. Start the next focus session when you're ready to work.
A break can sound like a break.
In the Mac app, choose Forest, Waves, or Silence. Break sounds have their own volume and play only during a running break. Completion chimes have a separate switch.
Three ways to make it yours

A few small details
Good to know.
Less setup. More room for the work.
Does offset need an account?
No. Your tasks and settings stay on your Mac. Open the app, choose a task, and start a session.
Can I keep the timer above my work?
Yes. Open the floating pod for a smaller timer you can drag around your screen. Your active task and countdown also stay in the menu bar.
Can I change the focus and break times?
Yes. Set your durations before starting a session. You can pause, resume, or reset when your plans change.
What happens when a session ends?
Your break starts automatically after focus. You can keep your main goal or mark it done. At the end of the break, Offset waits for you to start the next focus session.
Does Offset block distracting websites?
No. The first release helps you keep a task in sight and work in timed sessions. It does not block websites or other apps.
Is this the full app?
The timer above is an interactive browser version of the Modern desk. You can edit tasks, pin a main goal, adjust durations, and run a session. Demo tasks reset when you reload. The Mac app adds the system menu bar, floating pod, and saved tasks. The three look previews are native app screenshots.
When can I download it?
Offset is being prepared for release. A download link will be added here when it is available. You can explore the app’s three looks above.
