## What is Focus Time Activity Tracker?

Want to focus better on what you're doing? Focus Time is a beautifully designed timer for people who want to avoid distractions and get more done. 

LifeHacker: "Keeps You On-Task and Productive" 

Want to eliminate the anxiety of time and enhance your focus and concentration? 

The key is to apply yourself to tasks by working in units of 25 minutes, separated by short breaks of 5 minutes. 

The steps are: 

1. Choose a task to accomplish 
2. Start timer 
3. Work until timer rings 
4. Take a short break 
5. Every 4 sessions, take a longer break 

Focus Time will automatically switch between the work timer and the long/short break timers, as well as counting the number of sessions you've completed. You can select an activity and see a graph of how you're spending your time.

Don't worry about taking a call or switching to another app while using Focus Time - the timer will carry on running even in the background.

### 5/5 — Simple and therefore perfekt die

*2023-10-25*

Die App macht richtig was andere falsch machen. Übersichtlich auf einem Blick hast du deine Zeiteinheiten. Das pomodoro System in der App kannst du zb so machen. Jede Zeile ist zb ein Bereich wie Projekt A oder Hausarbeit oder  Karriere. Jede Zeile hat also mehrere Aufgaben die du (leider noch) in einer separaten to do Liste einträgst. Jetzt stellst du den timer und fokussierst dich in dieser Zeit auf die Aufgaben in zb Hausarbeit darin gibt es voll die Aufgaben Fenster putzen, Hausmeister anrufen und Müll rausbringen. Diese App dafür perfekt.

### 4/5 — Help!!!

*2022-11-16*

Dear Team, I love the your App so much!! But the Alarm all of a sudden turned silent. Then I tried everything and finally deleted and reinstalled it. But now all my data is gone. I was so proud to see the progress. Can you help me please?? Thanks!🙏😃

### 1/5 — アップデートしたら画面下半分が真っ黒。

*2020-06-02*

高かったのに使えなくなりました。

### 5/5 — The best timer ever

*2020-01-29*

It records the time and can track the accumulated time spent on one activity by graphs.
It is the most powerful and useful app for timing and focus and record.
I love it.

### 3/5 — Stürzt bei mir ab,

### 1/5 — App locks up iCloud and won’t sync between devices

*2019-01-09*

The app locked a file in my iCloud and now won’t sync between the devices. The developer is completely unresponsive. I wouldn’t be surprised if they abandoned the app. Do not download there are so many better timers out there with a more responsive development team.

### 1/5 — Sync doesn’t work

*2018-11-16*

Sync across iOS and Mac doesn’t work for me

### 5/5 — Sehr gute pomodoro app

*2018-08-20*

Ich habe heute mehrere pomodoro apps miteinander verglichen und focus time hat eindeutig gewonnen. Dabei bleibe ich. Bei mir funktioniert übrigens die Synchronisation wunderbar, sogar mit 3 Geräten (iphone, ipad und ipad pro).

Ich würde es begrüßen, wenn man den einzelnen Aktivitäten die Farben selbst zuordnen kann, so dass auch bei den Graphen die Aktivitäten immer ihre eigene Farbe haben.

Was ich nicht versteh, ist das Verhältnis von focus time zu study time. Ich hatte zuerst study time für €2,99 gekauft. Das hatte definitiv kein sync. Aber man kann einen in-app-Kauf tätigen für €3,99. Da mir aber nicht klar war, ob study time mit in-app-Kauf den gleichen Funktionsumfang wie focus time hat, bin ich den sicheren Weg gegangen und habe noch focus time gekauft. Leider findet man auch auf der Hersteller webpage nichts über das Verhältnis der beiden apps.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-08-07*

I enjoy using this time tracker.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync, can’t delete iCloud data

*2018-06-03*

As stated, the app doesn’t sync since the last update. Tried to reset the app by deleting the iCloud data. But the data can’t be removed although no error message appears. Please fix since it’s still the best app for its purpose.
