Focusoro is a Pomodoro timer that knows when you reach for your phone. An ordinary timer counts down and hopes your willpower holds. Focusoro keeps your phone on the desk, records every urge you resist and shows you getting better, week after week.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• The session starts itself — set the time, put your phone down, and the countdown begins once it stops moving.
• It notices when you pick up your phone — motion sensors catch the lift, and you get a few seconds to put it back.
• It counts the urges you beat, not just the minutes.
• Nine background sounds that keep playing with the screen locked.
• A session length tailored to you, worked out from your own history.
• Everything stays on your phone: no accounts, no ads, no tracking.
HOW IT WORKS
Set the session length on the dial, down to the minute, tap Start and place your phone on your desk or a charger. As soon as it lies still, the countdown begins. The screen dims so it won't tempt you — and you're free to lock your phone: the session keeps going and the countdown stays on your Lock Screen.
Reach for your phone mid-session and the screen lights up while it vibrates, nudging you back to work. You choose in Settings how many seconds you get to put it down. Leave the app and the session fails — no exceptions. An incoming call or an alarm won't ruin it, though: the countdown waits until you're back and the phone is down again.
BACKGROUND SOUNDS
Rain, a thunderstorm, the sea, a forest, a café, an airplane cabin, or brown, pink and white noise. The sound plays for the whole session, even with the screen locked, fades out the moment you pick up your phone and never interrupts music from other apps. Every recording ships with the app, so it works offline.
BREAKS WITHOUT THE GUILT
Finish a session and the break is all yours — grab your phone or squeeze in a quick workout. Every few sessions you get a longer one. Focusoro tells you when to come back, and the break countdown sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
STATS THAT ACTUALLY TELL YOU SOMETHING
A week-over-week report shows whether you're improving: how often you pick up your phone, how quickly you put it back, your self-control index and how punctually you return from breaks. A histogram reveals the minute your focus starts to slip.
Thirty-day breakdowns answer real questions: what ends your sessions, whether you do better with the phone face down, which session lengths you actually finish, and which background sound helps you focus most.
YOUR TIME
After a week, Focusoro suggests a session length based on your own history, not someone else's theory. It weighs not just how often you finish, but how many minutes of focus you really bank. The suggestion sits above the dial — one tap sets it.
DAILY GOAL AND RHYTHM
A card on the start screen shows your minutes toward today's goal, the sessions you've completed and your current streak. Hit the goal and you get fireworks. Before you start, you can also see where you are in the cycle and which break comes next.
APPLE WATCH, IPHONE AND IPAD
Your watch shows the session and break countdowns, and if you reach for your phone, the seconds left to put it down. Focusoro runs on iPhone and iPad.
PRIVACY
All your data stays on your device. Nothing is sent to a server — no accounts, no ads, no tracking. Detecting when you pick up the phone requires access to motion data.
PRICING
The yearly subscription starts with seven days free — you're charged only after that, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Prefer to pay once? There's a lifetime purchase that never renews.
The app speaks English, Polish, German and Japanese.

Tasks and time reports.
• Tasks: choose what you're working on before you start, and the session time goes to that task — even a failed session counts, up to the moment it broke.
• Weekly and monthly reports: total time, completed and failed sessions, a day-by-day chart and a split by task, compared with the previous period.
• Share a report as text or export it to CSV, one session per row.
• A deleted task disappears from the list, but its time stays in your history and reports.
• The session's finish time now sits on the Start button.
• Pick a background sound right from the start screen: tap one to hear a preview, and set the volume below the list.
• A new Privacy section in Settings: anonymous usage statistics help us improve the app, and you can turn them off.
