The timer now shows your protected windows for the day — what's blocked now and what's coming. Time Reclaimed: the Tracking tab opens with the hours you've taken back. A clearer path through your first session, and a calmer break flow. The two water visuals are one Water now, and small things throughout are quieter and quicker. What's changed: Pro now covers the focus timer, app blocking, the Tracking tab and Screen Time reports. The Planner and widgets stay free. Your first month of Pro is free.

SCREEN TIME REPORTS — NOW TRULY IN YOUR HANDS If you read about reports in the last update and couldn't find them: that was our miss, not yours. A build flag held them back, and this update sets them loose. Thank you for your patience. The Tracking tab can now show you where the rest of your hours went — which apps pulled at you hardest, how that traded against the time you spent in focus, and what shifted since last week. The numbers are computed inside a sandboxed Apple extension on your phone. They have no route off the device, and I never see them. There's a wait built in. TIF watches for seven days before the first report, so what you get back is a real week rather than an afternoon. You'll see the days fill in while it works, and an example report in the meantime so the shape of it isn't a surprise. Reports are part of Pro, on iPhone. New here? Your first 14 days have everything open. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - The Pro feature lists across the app now match what Pro actually includes. - On iPad, the reports section explains its iPhone scope plainly instead of showing empty charts. - The day-seven reminder keeps to a reasonable hour. - Assorted fixes to layout and wording.

Your first 14 days have everything open. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - Screen Time permission is re-checked properly. A grant from an older version of iOS no longer leaves reports quietly empty with nothing to explain why. - App selections and Protected Time rules have been dropped from exported backups. They're specific to one device and don't belong in a file you might hand to someone. - The Pro feature lists across the app now match what Pro actually includes. - The day-seven reminder keeps to a reasonable hour. - Assorted fixes to layout and wording.

New: Simple Mode. If the full app is more than you need, you can pare it back — the timer and tracking on their own, or just the planner. The parts you don't use step out of the way. First run is cleaner, and there's a short walkthrough on your Profile you can open again whenever — not just on day one. The home-screen widget now shows whether a session is running and gives you a quicker way back in. iPad looks better. And a good pile of small fixes underneath. Take your time.

Version 1.7.2 This one is about the pause — the moment you reach to stop. Now when you pause a session, there's a breath first. The timer keeps running while you note whatever's pulling you away. Then you choose: back to focusing, or pause anyway. Sometimes that beat is all it takes. Also in this version: — The Focus Shield now shows the apps you've set aside, so you can see what's closed at a glance. — Changing your blocked apps mid-session takes a short, deliberate moment first — the same idea as the pause. — A new look for the app icon. — The home-screen widget has two faces now: one when you're idle, one when you're focusing — each a tap from where you want to be. — Reminders to come back are gentler, spaced out instead of stacked. — Easier on your battery during long sessions. — Cleaner break counting, and blocking that re-engages the moment a break ends. Thank you for being here. — Selim

A calmer, clearer Time In Focus: • A gentler welcome — a shorter, warmer first run. • Your rhythm, clearer — refreshed focus charts that grow with you. • A new carved clock style you can choose in Appearance. • A more thoughtful daily reminder that stays quiet on the days you've already shown up. • Polish and reliability throughout.

New in 1.7 Protected Time — Set aside hours that belong to your focus, and let Focus Shield hold them for you, automatically, on the schedule you choose. The apps you pick stay closed until your time is up. (Pro) Back up your data — Export your sessions, goals, tasks, and settings to one file, and restore them on a new device whenever you need. Your history stays yours. A calmer planner — Clearer handling of tasks that roll past their day, with full VoiceOver support. Quiet fixes — A steadier Profile screen and more reliable focus visuals. Thank you for being here. — Selim

Time In Focus now has a full Planner. Plan your whole week, then let each day bring you only what belongs to it: • Sort work into Today, This Week, This Month, Next Month — or your own folders • Give a task a day, and it rolls into Today on its own when that day arrives • Unfinished tasks carry forward, so nothing quietly slips away • Pull your list into a focus session and check tasks off as you work • A daily strip lines up your tasks with your focus-session goal • Drag to arrange, name it your way — all on clean ruled paper Plan once. Today is always just what's in front of you. Private by design: your plan never leaves your iPhone.

That's sixteen visuals now — pick what fits today. • Moon waxing and waning reflects the moon's appearance on a given day. — Selim

Still no account. Still on your device. Still never shared. — Selim

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
