Join hundreds of thousands of happy users who stay focused and productive with Focus – a beautifully simple yet powerful Pomodoro productivity timer for all your Apple devices. Focus helps you actually get your work done by breaking it into Focus Sessions – short, structured intervals that keep you focused and on track. This proven technique boosts concentration, reduces stress, and keeps you motivated throughout the day. Regular breaks help you recharge, so you can stay sharp and avoid burnout. Give it a try: Just add your tasks, start your timer, and make steady progress – one session at a time! “[…] a tool that can genuinely make people more productive" – MacStories.net “[…] a must-have for anyone who finds themselves easily getting distracted or forgetting to take occasional breaks." – iDownloadBlog.com ====================== FEATURES ====================== FOCUS TIMER Focus comes with a fully customizable productivity timer that supports you in working efficiently. Focus for 25 minutes, then get reminded to take a short break to relax your mind. After four sessions, take a longer, 15 to 20 minute break. This method maximizes energy, stimulates creativity, and promotes a sense of achievement. TO-DO LISTS Create unlimited tasks and track your time on each task. By working on one task at a time, you reduce distractions and can put all your attention toward completing your goals. That way you’ll be perfectly organized on your path to success. IN-DEPTH STATISTICS Check in with your progress! Focus keeps track of your focused time and offers in-depth and motivating statistics. See your daily, weekly and monthly activity, discover productivity patterns and build a habit of concentration – with daily goals and focus trends. FOCUS EVERYWHERE Sync Focus across your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Mac for a seamless experience. With built-in iCloud sync, your sessions and tasks are always up to date, where and when you need them! WIDGETS Start your Focus timer right from your Lock Screen, Home Screen, or Control Center. Widgets make it easy to see your most important info at a glance, while Live Activities show your session’s progress in real time, so you’re always in the loop and never miss a break. FOCUS ON APPLE WATCH Using Focus on your wrist is a natural fit. The independent Apple Watch app is made for easy and lightweight interactions letting you control sessions and track your progress throughout the day. CLEAN DESIGN The name says it all: Focus draws your attention to the most important things. It’s designed to be unobtrusive, accessible and easy-to-use. You’ll intuitively master its collection of features in no time. ===================================== SUBSCRIPTION PRICING - ALL PLATFORMS, ONE PRICE ===================================== Focus requires a subscription that unlocks all features on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Mac.

New update is fantastic, hope for more to come!

I have been an off and on user of Focus for a long time. The latest update adds much needed UI love, and works so much better, especially on my iPad. Great work!One area I think could use some love is the Apple Shortcuts. I can only speak for myself here but being able to add new tasks using Apple shortcuts would vastly improve my workflow. For example, it would allow me to create a shortcut to import all my daily tasks from Reminders. If I had a wishlist the two shortcuts would be “Create task with title and date” and “Filter/find existing tasks” to complete the “search and sync” features using shortcuts. Additionally, a game changing feature would be the ability to automatically trigger the app to change the OS level Focus modes when starting/stopping sessions (or maybe just trigger shortcuts instead). For now I use Apple shortcuts to start DND at the same time as starting a Focus timer in the app, but I would love to be able to exit DND during breaks and automatically resume DND when my break is over. Overall this is a great update and I love seeing it! The simplicity of this app makes it one of the best, and with some of the features above I think it would stand above the rest for me and instant 5 star. I am going to resubscribe for now. I know you can’t promise anything but I wanted to be sure to share my thoughts. Keep up the great work!

Best App to stay balanced with work and family!!!

Can’t say enough good things about this app! I’m studying for a promotional exam currently and this app has helped me know when to take breaks but not for too long. There are plenty of options to customize and very helpful to have it on many platforms to use on the go or while at a desk. Keep up the great work with the app! If I could give one suggestion, which is actually more of a request, I would like to see a kid mode or kid options in the app that could help them see a timer for brushing their teeth or bed time reading of some sort. I also have some kids that are close to being teenagers and as they use the app it would be cool for them to be able to customize the background timer as a cool image of choice. Anyway, something to consider and explore for the future. It was just a thought during my study break. I need to get back to the books. Great app, studying is rough but much better when you have something that just tells you when to do it! Thanks again!!

I am a too lazy of a person to write any review, but I like this app and wanted to share some information and suggestion about the app. As a law student, I have been feeling anxious, uncertain if I am putting in enough hours for my school work, and this app does a great job letting me track how long I did the work each day. I like that I can adjust a number of minutes for each session In because most of apps only provide pomodoro style 25 minutes as an option. Also, I love that I could have the app fill the whole screen so I could start it again. Before using this function, I always missed hitting the start button again that I ended up deleting similar types of apps because of imprecise hours tracked. If I may make some suggestions- it would be nice if I could label how many hours I spent on each task. Just a chunk of hours logged only gives me an idea that I did something, but looking back, j don't know on which task I spent my time. Also, a stick or pie graph that shows how many hours I focused on each different task would make this app the greatest. I have been looking for one but there's none that has those functions. Thank you for this app and please keep up the great work!

Watch app looks great, but is unreliable
11/07/2018

My primary use case for this app is on my Watch. I rely on it to tap when it’s time to take a break, or when my break is done. However, it fails to consistently do this – sometimes I get the tap as expected, other times I’m working away and realizing that it’s been much more than 25 minutes, why didn’t it tell me? When I look, sometimes the complication is waiting for me to respond, other times it’s counting time *up* instead of down!Also, “Sessions Until Long Break” has been consistently off by one. I have it set to 4, but it actually takes 5 sessions before I get a long break. (Does it start counting from zero internally? I’ve just tried setting it to 3 to see what happens.)The Watch complications look fantastic, and I *really* want to love this app. But I can’t depend on it to consistently tell me when time is up, or correctly identify when my long break starts.

Hi, I just want to let you know that we've released a brand-new Apple Watch app for Focus! We feel that Focus on the Watch is now so much better. Let us know what you think!Best,- Jan______Thanks for your review. We’ll look into these issues. In the meantime, we have some tips and tricks that should solve most of the problems you’re describing. Please get in touch: support@meaningful-things.com. Thanks! Best, Jan
