The Magic Numbers 52 And 17.
Fōkasu is automatic. No need to set anything. Just open the website and press start to count down from 52 minutes. It will then give you an alert and an alarm to notify your 52 minutes of work is done. Then after your 52 minutes are done, the timer will automatically begin counting down from 17 minutes for your break. The cycle continues until you are finished with your work.

Add To iPhone Homescreen.
Fōkasu can be added to your iPhone homescreen and be used just like a regular app.
However for mobile users there are some caveats:

1. iPhone’s auto-lock disabled. (So the phone does not go to sleep mode) Timer doesn’t work when phone is asleep.
2. Web browser on the phone must be active and opened to the timer, (if the user goes to another application the timer resets for the iPhone).
3. Do not go to any other applications on the iPhone or the timer will not work.
4. For best use on mobile turn off auto-lock (set to never), switch on airplane mode, and plug in charger. Fōkasu must be the only application running (leave it active) in order for the timer to work. You must focus (Fōkasu) on your work and leave your phone alone once you start the timer*

*Desktop/Laptop users can just leave the website tab open in the background and carry on doing whatever work on the desktop/laptop.
