Tempo for Windows
The whole focus console as a native app: offline timing, tray controls, a floating mini timer, native alerts, and site blocking. Your tasks, sessions, and settings stay on this PC.
Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · about 15 MB · no account required
The installer is unsigned, so Windows may ask you to confirm before running it.
What's different from the browser
Works offline
The full app is bundled. No server, no network, no account.
Native alerts
Real Windows notifications and a completion chime, even when the window is hidden.
Mini timer
A small always-on-top widget that shows the live clock over any app.
Global hotkey
Ctrl+Shift+Space shows or hides Tempo from anywhere.
Focus Guard
Block distracting sites while a focus block runs, using the Windows hosts file.
Lives in the tray
Closing the window keeps the timer running. Window size, position, and start-on-login are remembered.
Install in three steps
- 1Download the installer and run it. It installs for your user — no administrator prompt.
- 2If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway. The build is unsigned.
- 3Tempo opens. Closing the window sends it to the tray; quit from the tray menu.
Local by design
The desktop app is separate from the website. It stores tasks, history, and settings on this device only — nothing is uploaded, and it does not share data with your browser. Use Settings → Export to keep a JSON or CSV backup.
