Customize End of Focus Alarm Sounds in Windows 11

This article describes steps to change the end of Focus and break session alarm sound in Windows 11.

Focus is a new feature in Windows 11 that helps you minimize distractions. To help you stay on track, it integrates with the Clock app with features like a focus timer and music integration.

By default, after each Focus session, you will hear an alarm with a notification informing you that the session has ended. For long sessions, breaks are included to get you to do other things and recharge or take a bio-break.

After each Focus break session, you will also hear an alarm letting you know the session break has ended.
