Google introduces a new feature called “Focus Sessions” for its Google Clock app. This update aims to help users concentrate better during tasks. The feature includes customizable background sounds. These sounds play while users work.

People can pick from several ambient sound options. Choices include rain, rivers, and white noise. Users set a timer for their work session. The selected sound plays throughout this time. This creates a consistent auditory environment. It helps block distractions.

The tool uses the Pomodoro technique. This method splits work into focused blocks with short breaks. Users define their work interval and break length. The app manages the timing automatically. When the work period ends, a break begins. After the break, another work session can start. This cycle repeats.

Focus Sessions integrates with other Google services. It connects to YouTube Music for background sound choices. Users can also sync it with Fitbit and Wear OS devices. This allows for tracking focus time alongside health metrics.
