Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.
Create an editable mobile-first app prototype using the existing project stack for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Focus Session Timer.
Required content and structure
Choose a task and timer duration, pause or finish a session, and record a short reflection without turning interruptions into failure.
Screens and navigation
Build three connected views: Today; Focus session; Reflection. Keep the selected record visible in the screen title or summary. Support an explicit back action and preserve in-progress inputs when moving between views. Keep the primary action near the relevant content and account for mobile safe areas, a visible software keyboard and long translated labels. At desktop widths, adapt the composition without removing a step or changing the task.
Project inputs
Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] for names, records, labels, quantities and destinations. Ask for missing data instead of inventing operational claims. Demonstration records may use the fictional brand Still; label these as sample data. Explain which actions are local prototype interactions and which would require authentication, persistence, permissions or a backend. Do not connect external services or claim a transaction was completed unless that integration has been explicitly implemented and tested.
Design direction
Follow [BRAND_RULES]. When no brand is supplied, use warm gray, charcoal, muted lime, sparse typography. Make the workflow recognizable through its own content and controls, rather than repeating generic dashboard cards. Use a consistent spacing scale and clear text hierarchy. Include visible keyboard focus, accessible names, sufficient contrast and non-color status labels. Respect reduced motion and keep animated transitions optional.
Task-specific acceptance check
- Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion.
Interaction states
Implement the three-screen happy path with local sample data. Include a useful empty state, validation before completing an action, a loading or pending state and a recoverable failure state. Destructive changes require a review or undo path. Keep the state of a record consistent across all three views. Do not silently discard partially completed input or change a user's choice after a retry.
Delivery and review
Return the editable app views and explain the data model, any local storage behavior and unimplemented integrations. Test at 320px and a wider viewport, with keyboard navigation and long content. Use the task-specific acceptance check above to review the result before adding features. Keep demonstration behavior clearly distinct from a running production service.
Reference attachment and reconstruction goal
Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.
Reference composition and content
Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Focus Session Timer. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Choose a task and timer duration, pause or finish a session, and record a short reflection without turning interruptions into failure. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Begin with Today as the entry screen, give Focus session a clear primary action, and make Reflection explain what happened and what can happen next. Use warm gray, charcoal, muted lime, sparse typography as a starting direction, adapting it to the supplied brand. Keep record identity and navigation context visible across the three screens. Prioritize thumb-accessible controls and readable labels over decorative panels; on wider screens, keep the workflow coherent rather than stretching a mobile composition edge to edge.

Interaction specification
The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your project and build the connected flow: Choose a task and timer duration, pause or finish a session, and record a short reflection without turning interruptions into failure. Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.
Visual comparison and delivery
- Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
- Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
- Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write a Focus Session Timer Design Prompt
Use this focus session timer design prompt to choose a task and timer duration, pause or finish a session, and record a short reflection without turning interruptions into failure.
The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.
Distinguish a Pause from Completion
A focus timer app should support interrupted work without treating every interruption as failure.
Elapsed time must come from the session state, not just an animation left on screen. Begin with Today as the entry screen, give Focus session a clear primary action, and make Reflection explain what happened and what can happen next. Use warm gray, charcoal, muted lime, sparse typography as a starting direction, adapting it to the supplied brand. Keep record identity and navigation context visible across the three screens. Prioritize thumb-accessible controls and readable labels over decorative panels; on wider screens, keep the workflow coherent rather than stretching a mobile composition edge to edge.
From the Prompt
Build three connected views: Today; Focus session; Reflection.
Make It Your Own
Choose [TASK] and duration, with pause, resume and finish actions. Restore elapsed time after backgrounding and offer an optional reflection when the user finishes.
Prepare the Focus Session Timer Content
The timer screen separates remaining time from Pause and Finish controls, with an away-time notice. Define background timing and resume behavior instead of deriving elapsed time from animation frames.
Define the task label, selectable duration, pause behavior and optional reflection fields. Include a session that was backgrounded and one that was ended early, with explicit rules for restoring elapsed time.
From the Prompt
Choose a task and timer duration, pause or finish a session, and record a short reflection without turning interruptions into failure.
Make It Your Own
For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this focus session timer. Approved records and field labels for Today; Focus session; Reflection; the action and persistence rules; brand assets and permission requirements. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.
Background the Timer
The final screen records mood, notes and a next step after a completed session. Test save feedback and retain an unfinished reflection if the user leaves the screen.
On return, show the correct session state and elapsed time. A paused session must not appear completed merely because its original wall-clock end time passed. Test this specific boundary first: Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion. Then run the main flow with a long record title, no saved records and a failed action. A user should be able to tell what is saved, what is pending and what can be undone without relying on color. Verify that returning to the previous screen preserves entered data and that a screen reader encounters the title, status and primary action in a sensible order.

Review the focus session timer against this requirement: Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion. Test this specific boundary first: Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion. Then run the main flow with a long record title, no saved records and a failed action. A user should be able to tell what is saved, what is pending and what can be undone without relying on color. Verify that returning to the previous screen preserves entered data and that a screen reader encounters the title, status and primary action in a sensible order. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.
Review Your Focus Session Timer Result
The example is an AI-generated visual concept. Connected services, device permissions and persistent data require separate implementation and testing.
- Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion.
Follow-Up Prompt
Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.
Refine only the Focus session to Reflection transition. Restore the correct elapsed time after the app is backgrounded and distinguish pause from session completion. Show the relevant pending, failure and completed states with explicit labels. Preserve the approved navigation, typography and other screens. Return the changed views and describe how entered data survives a retry.
