## What is Focura?

Most focus timers ship one rigid setup. Focura asks one question — do you
struggle to start, stay, or stop? — then tunes the timer, haptics, and pacing
to match. Built for ADHD brains. Works for anyone fighting a 25-minute box.

A TIMER THAT FITS HOW YOU FOCUS
Pick your struggle and Focura adjusts the physics:
• Starting — 5-minute first wins and gentle pacing, no pressure haptics
• Staying — classic 25s with a soft haptic heartbeat anchoring the last minute
• Stopping — longer blocks and 10-minute wind-downs, because transitions hurt

YOUR CALENDAR BECOMES THE PLAN
Connect iOS Calendar (read-only) and your events appear as locked time blocks,
so the day is never empty. If a meeting starts mid-session, Focura auto-pauses
your timer and lets you know.

HYPERFOCUS IS CELEBRATED, NOT PUNISHED
Run past the timer and the screen turns green: Flow State. No alarm yanking
you out, no red "overtime" guilt. Keep going — Focura keeps counting.

MISSED A BLOCK? NO SHAME.
• Smart Reschedule finds it a new slot in one tap (Premium)
• Skipping records a reason, not a failure — and your streak forgives it
• Streaks come with freeze days, so a rough day doesn't break the chain
• Fresh Start resets the day without erasing what you already did

BRAIN DUMP YOUR REMINDERS
Your iOS Reminders show up as an inbox on the Today tab. Tap one, give it a
time, done. Finish the session and Focura offers to check the reminder off.

A DAY YOU CAN SEE
A visual timeline where every block is sized to its real duration. Drag to
reorder. Pin a block to a time, or let Focura slot it into the next free gap.
Morning person or night owl — set your own day's start and end.

ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY
Lock Screen Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and a Home Screen widget keep your
current block and today's progress visible without unlocking your phone.

100% ON-DEVICE
No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. Your blocks and sessions live in your
iPhone's local database. Your focus, your data, your control.

Focura is a tool, not a treatment. It is not a medical device and is not a
substitute for professional care. Built by an indie developer who needed it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-07-22

Focura 1.4 — a visual refresh, tuned for clarity:

• New default app icon: Midnight Indigo — it now matches Focura's own accent color.
  (Flow Green moves to a Premium alternate, still yours to pick in Settings.)
• Sharper contrast and readability, light and dark
• Every button now shows a clear press state — no more silent taps
• Text fields show an obvious focus state while you're editing
• Block colors now show as icons and dots, never as text or fills — clearer at a glance
• During an active session, Today now leads with your timeline instead of the big timer
• Cleaner, aligned numbers in Stats
• The Reminders inbox no longer disappears when it's empty

### 1.3 — 2026-07-15

New App Icon design with more as options for Focura Pro Subscribers
Alarm's available as an option for any block

### 1.2 — 2026-06-19

Focura 1.2:
  
  • A running timer is now visible and controllable on Week & Stats, not just Today
  • Flow State shows your true total time past plan
  • Onboarding now follows your light/dark theme
  • More accurate weekly stats, tidier block editing
  • Sturdier under the hood — graceful recovery instead of a stuck screen

### 1.1 — 2026-06-13

Focura 1.1 — quality of life, no fluff:

• Your minutes are safe — stopping a timer early now credits the time you
  actually focused instead of discarding it
• Faster first run — setup is down to four quick steps, and you can connect
  iOS Reminders later, right from the Today tab
• Skip smarter — skipping a block now shows how Smart Reschedule would find
  it a new slot instead
• Clearer Premium — the paywall now shows exactly what you get, with live
  pricing
