Windows 10: How can I customize the sound that plays after focus session/ breaks?

actually, I already tried selecting from the options it had like 'chimes', 'chords', descending' , 'echo' etc. but all of them are pretty mild toned that I couldn't hear them. so I wanted to customize that sound by selecting my own audio file. but there isn't any option that allows you to add your own sound. there was a similar question regarding alarm sound where the advisor suggested an application called 'free alarm clock' which works well I would be glad if anyone could resolve this problem. I am okay if it needs any application.

Focus Session - Windows 11

Hello everyone,

When I set a time for focus session it's play notification sound only for the last beak time and when session ends, is it available to make it play sound for each break time ? as if I set a 3 hours focus session it's play a sound for break only after 2 hours and half!!

 

My focus session doesnt sound at the end of the break/session

whenever a break finishes the focus session thing on clock doesnt sound.

When i went on settings all the things for it were turned on and it even sounded when i clicked on the thing. its just when a break/session finishes

i noticed it also showed a msg at the bottom on the thing that says

"Focus timer will sound only when ur PC is awake. change power settings"

i think that is the problem but idk how to change it

help would b appreciated thank u

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

I think that this issue may be related to your computer's power settings.

To resolve this issue, you can try adjusting your computer's power settings to ensure that it stays awake during your focus session. Here's how:

1. Open the Control Panel on your Windows computer.

2. Select "Power Options" from the list of options.

3. In the "Power Options" window, select "Change plan settings" for the currently selected power plan.

4. In the next window, select "Change advanced power settings."

5. In the "Power Options" dialog box, scroll down to the "Sleep" category and expand it.

6. Look for the setting labeled "Allow hybrid sleep" and set it to "Off."

7. Also, make sure that the "Sleep" setting is set to "Never" for both "On battery" and "Plugged in."

8. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

With these changes, your computer should stay awake during your focus session, and the sound notification should work properly when a break or session ends.
