Embed a Free Focus Timer Widget

Why Embed a Focus Timer Widget?

Embedding a focus timer widget directly into your workspace eliminates the need to switch between tabs or apps. Whether you're working in Notion, managing projects in a custom dashboard, or building an educational platform, having a Pomodoro timer embedded in your workflow reduces friction and keeps you in a state of flow.

Focusfloo's embeddable widget is designed for developers, productivity enthusiasts, and teams who want to integrate time management into their existing tools without the overhead of API keys, authentication, or complex setup processes.

Benefits of Using an Embeddable Timer

Unlike standalone timer apps that require constant context switching, an embedded widget lives where you work:

• Reduced Context Switching: Keep your timer, tasks, and notes in one view. No more Alt+Tab between your Notion workspace and a separate timer app.
• Team Alignment: When embedded in a company intranet or team dashboard, everyone has access to the same focus tool without needing individual accounts.
• Customizable Experience: Users can personalize themes, sounds, and timer durations without leaving the embedded environment.
• Developer-Friendly: No API keys, no rate limits, no authentication flows. Just copy the iframe code and you're done.
• Privacy-First: The widget doesn't track user data or require logins, making it ideal for privacy-conscious teams and platforms.

How to Embed Focusfloo in Notion

Notion has become the go-to workspace for students, professionals, and teams. Embedding Focusfloo into your Notion pages creates a seamless productivity hub:

1. Open Your Notion Page: Navigate to the page where you want to add the timer (e.g., your daily dashboard, project tracker, or study notes).
2. Type /embed: Use Notion's embed block command by typing /embed and selecting the "Embed" option from the menu.
3. Paste the URL: Enter https://focusfloo.com/demoplay into the embed URL field.
4. Adjust Size: Resize the embed block to fit your layout. We recommend a minimum height of 500px for the best experience.
5. Start Focusing: Your Pomodoro timer is now live in Notion. Customize themes, add tasks, and start your first session—all without leaving your workspace.
