Description

Focus is the most elegant and professional productivity timer that helps you to get more work done.

Move Towards a Happier, Healthier, and More Productive Workday
Focus lets you break down your work time into smaller chunks called Focus Sessions. Working in sessions helps you to stay focused and get some meaningful work done, tackling one task at a time. Focus also encourages you to take regular breaks between your sessions which is particularly helpful to maintain your energy and keep your focus throughout the day.

FEATURES

======================

FOCUS SESSIONS

Focus Sessions are a highly efficient way to work. Focus for 25 minutes, then 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.

TASK MANAGER

Focus includes a lightweight task manager that lets you organize the things you want to work on intuitively. By working on one task at a time, you reduce distractions and can put all your attention towards 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 work and offers in-depth and motivating statistics. See your daily, weekly and monthly activity so you don’t lose sight of the big picture.

FOCUS EVERYWHERE

Sync Focus across your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac with iCloud for a seamless experience. Use Shortcuts to build powerful productivity automations or view the most important information with Widgets. Focus is available where and when you need it!

FOCUS & APPLE WATCH: A PERFECT FIT

Using Focus on your wrist is a natural fit. The independent Apple Watch app is made for for easy and lightweight interactions that lets you control sessions and track your progress throughout the day. With the Focus complication, you can customize your watch face to see your current progress at a glance.

BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE

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.

Use Focus, to combat interruptions!

I use Focus to keep me on track when 2 workplace factors collide:
1) the requirement to get key tasks completed
2) the possibility of an interruption is very likely
I find that leaving the volume up slightly on the ticking sound keeps me going!

Not suitable for many things on the to-do-list

The app crashes and lags whenever there is a longer list of things to complete (left column). It also consumes a lot of battery and makes the macbook run really slow.
When you add things to do, sometimes it takes almost 10 minutes for the space to pop-up where you write the things to do, and you might continuously click on it because you think it's not responding, 10 minutes later, you get 10 blank spaces that are in your "to-do-list" and it's annoying.
It's cool however, because it does keep track of how much time it takes for you to complete an assignment, and how much you've been "focused" for the day compared to the other days of the week, and compared to the month as a whole. I would enjoy using this app if it didn't make my macbook lag so so much. I can't even read/scroll pdf files properly when the timer is happening in the backgroud.

Developer Response ,

Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that! That's new information for us, we haven't heart about such a bug until now. Can you send us the diagnostics data from within Focus and get in touch via support@masterbuilders.io ? On which device and on version of macOS does the issue occur? We hope to hear from you soon and will get back to you quickly to figure out what happened and how to fix it. Thanks! -Best wishes, Kerstin

Great application

I especially like how well it integrates with Shortcuts.

That is a life changer for me because I use loads of automations using Toggl and Focus for Time-Tracking.
