Koku
A focus timer for iPhone and Apple Watch, with alerts that are hard to miss.
Set a focus or break session and start. Koku keeps the timer visible through Live Activities and can show a full-screen alarm when time is up, even while the phone is locked or silent.
- Full-screen alerts when your session ends
- Apple Watch support
- Live Activity and lock screen controls
- Custom session lengths
- No ads, accounts, or subscriptions








One screen, one job
Koku started with a narrow requirement: a timer is not useful if I miss the alert. The iPhone app stays on one screen, with no accounts, streaks, social features, or subscriptions.
The work went into the timer itself: full-screen alarms, Live Activities, widgets, configurable sessions, and state shared with the Apple Watch app.
