Ratings & Reviews
Ambient focus sounds are here: white, pink, and brown noise plus rain and ocean surf, generated on device and playing right through a locked screen.
A new Home Screen widget starts a focus session in one tap, and a Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
The Stats tab now shows your real charts, streaks, and insights, and any chart can be exported as a PNG or PDF.
Auto-start for breaks and next sessions now works as described, and a lot of leftover wording from an older app has been cleaned up throughout.
