Time in Focus v1.4 This update is for the people who've been here. Here's what's changed since you last opened TIF. — New — Focus Shield. You can now name the apps that pull you out of focus, and TIF will hold them closed for the length of a session. You pick the apps. iOS enforces the hold. Nothing leaves your device. Open Profile → Focus Shield to set it up. Tap the ⓘ next to the title for the full privacy disclosure. Apple Watch. Start a focus session from your wrist. The watch tracks your time and stays in sync with the iPhone. The phone can stay in your bag. New focus visuals. Three new ambient backgrounds for the timer — Flowing Water, Dry to Water, and Bubble Glass. Calm motion, not stimulation. Pick yours in Profile → Focus Visual. Continuity Calendar, two ways. Switch between a daily grid and a weekly view at the top of the calendar. A new Day-of-Week panel shows which days you actually focus on, across the last 90 days. Diagnostic, not gamified. Live Activity, quieter. The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island session view runs smoother, holds the celebration state for a moment, and clears cleanly when the session ends. — Refined — Settings are reorganized. Timer Duration sits at the top now — it's the first thing you reach for. The visual-identity stack (Theme, Accent, Focus Visual, Focus Shield) is grouped together below. Achievements remember why. The threshold that earned each badge — "100 sessions," "500 sessions" — stays visible next to the earned date. The receipt for the receipt. — Privacy — The Focus Shield uses Apple's Family Activity framework. Your selection of apps lives in iOS's on-device ManagedSettings container; we never see it. Tap the ⓘ on the Focus Shield row in Settings for the in-depth disclosure. — Thanks — To the people who've been with us through 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 — thank you. Quiet work, with receipts. — Selim

Focus Shield. Pro. Pick the apps you want closed during a focus session. The shield holds for the full session — no override. A reminder of what you committed to when you sat down to focus. Free 14-day trial. Active Days. Lifetime Stats now shows the days you've focused. A calmer aggregate than streaks — gaps don't reset it. Quiet improvements. Cleaner Tasks and Calendar. Stronger protection for your session data.

A deeper read on your own rhythm. The Tracking page is rebuilt around what you'll actually use. New stats: Focus Span shows your peak focus hours, Most Protected shows the time you reliably keep clear, Longest Stretch records your highest watermark. The Weekly Heat Map shows your average sessions per active weekday with the number inside each cell. Every stat opens to explain the math. Weekday and weekend goals are independent now. Set your weekend to zero if Saturdays aren't for sessions — they'll credit at 100% by default. Adjusting goals today doesn't re-grade past days. Fifteen ambient focus visuals. Two new signature transitions: Stone → Moss reveals growth as you focus, Dry → Water rehydrates as you recover. New: Leaf, Wood, Steel, Rust, Eames. Power Saving has four levels — from quiet-by-default to 60fps Highest Graphics. Live Activity recovers itself if iOS dismisses it. Landscape rotation no longer hides the side menu. The Week strip resets each Monday with future days blank — a fresh start every seven days. Take your time with it.

Time in Focus v1.1 New in this version: a 14-day free trial of TIF Pro. Full access for two weeks. If Pro fits your week, it keeps going. If it doesn't, switch back to Standard — both are honest choices. — What's new — Free tier, more generous. Standard TIF now gives you 2 focus sessions a day, fresh every morning. (Previously, two total. This is a real upgrade.) Live Session Banner. A small banner appears at the top of any tab while a session is running. Tap it to jump back to the timer. Quietly, without interrupting. Live Activity, calmer. The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island session activity now clears within a second of session end, holds the celebration state for three minutes, and the progress arc keeps moving smoothly even when the app is in the background. Tracking joined Pro. The Tracking tab — calendar view, focus distribution, monthly history — is now part of Pro. Free users can see what's there and start the 14-day trial right from the locked state. Everything stays on your device, as always. Phone Stand mode. Your screen stays on during a session, so you can prop the phone up as your desk companion. Auto-lock returns the moment the session ends. Smoother onboarding. Seven calm slides instead of four, with a clearer privacy explanation and a quick, skippable "what brings you to TIF?" step. Stays on your device. Quieter under the hood. Restore Purchases is more reliable, the session-end chime no longer hitches, and a few small concurrency issues are resolved. — A note on privacy — Your data stays on your device. Never shared. Never sold. Most apps sell your data to steal your attention back. We refuse to play that game. — After 14 days — Once you've been using v1.1 for two weeks, you'll see a one-time prompt asking how TIF is fitting into your work. We're a tiny team, and a quick note from you shapes what we build next. Nothing leaves your device unless you tap Send. — Thanks — To the 22 of you who started with us in v1.0 — thank you. This update is built on what you taught us. — Selim
