What's New in First10 To
1.13
September 17, 2026
**v1.13** — The timer answers the phone, and Look back stops guessing. A focus session no longer has to survive on all-or-nothing. Pause it from the Lock Screen when a call comes in, resume when you're back, and the countdown picks up exactly where it stopped — the time you spent waiting isn't counted as focus. You can start a session without opening the app at all: ask Siri, or let a Shortcuts automation do it when you get to work. Look back now knows how much of your focused time went on the three you said mattered that morning, and its repeats card has stopped counting completions and started measuring them — weekly things you actually kept up read as kept up. Your tasks turn up in Spotlight with something useful on them now, not just a title: which list they're in, their context, their steps, whether they repeat. And when you add a task, First10 can suggest a context based on how you have filed that word before — it suggests, you decide, and it learns from both.
