## What is Focusoro?

Focusoro is a Pomodoro timer that knows when you reach for your phone. An ordinary timer counts down and hopes your willpower holds. Focusoro keeps your phone on the desk, records every urge you resist and shows you getting better, week after week.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• The session starts itself — set the time, put your phone down, and the countdown begins once it stops moving.
• It notices when you pick up your phone — motion sensors catch the lift, and you get a few seconds to put it back.
• It counts the urges you beat, not just the minutes.
• Nine background sounds that keep playing with the screen locked.
• A session length tailored to you, worked out from your own history.
• Tasks and reports: see where your time went, week by week and month by month.
• Sessions and stats stay on your phone: no accounts, no ads, no tracking.

HOW IT WORKS

Set the session length on the dial, down to the minute, tap Start and place your phone on your desk or a charger. As soon as it lies still, the countdown begins. The screen dims so it won't tempt you — and you're free to lock your phone: the session keeps going and the countdown stays on your Lock Screen.

Reach for your phone mid-session and the screen lights up while it vibrates, nudging you back to work. Leave the app and the session fails — no exceptions. An incoming call or an alarm won't ruin it, though: the countdown waits until you're back and the phone is down again.

BACKGROUND SOUNDS

Rain, a thunderstorm, the sea, a forest, a café, an airplane cabin, or brown, pink and white noise. The sound plays for the whole session, even with the screen locked, fades out the moment you pick up your phone and never interrupts music from other apps.

BREAKS WITHOUT THE GUILT

Finish a session and the break is all yours; every few sessions you get a longer one. The countdown sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

STATS THAT ACTUALLY TELL YOU SOMETHING

A week-over-week report shows whether you're improving: how often you pick up your phone, how quickly you put it back, your self-control index and how punctually you return from breaks. A histogram reveals the minute your focus starts to slip.

Thirty-day breakdowns answer real questions: what ends your sessions, whether you do better with the phone face down, which session lengths you actually finish, and which background sound helps you focus most.

YOUR TIME

After a week, Focusoro suggests a session length based on your own history, not someone else's theory. The suggestion sits above the dial — one tap sets it.

DAILY GOAL AND RHYTHM

A card on the start screen shows your progress toward today's goal, completed sessions and your streak — hit the goal and you get fireworks. Before you start, you also see where you are in the cycle.

TASKS AND TIME REPORTS

Pick a task before you start and Focusoro records how much time you spend on it — even in a failed session, up to the moment it broke. Weekly and monthly reports show your work time day by day and split by task. Share a report with one tap or export it to CSV.

APPLE WATCH, IPHONE AND IPAD

Your watch shows the session and break countdowns, and if you reach for your phone, the seconds left to put it down. Focusoro runs on iPhone and iPad.

PRIVACY

Your sessions, tasks and stats stay on your device — no accounts, no ads, no tracking. We only send anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off in Settings. Detecting when you pick up the phone requires access to motion data.

PRICING

The yearly subscription starts with seven days free — you're charged only after that, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Prefer to pay once? There's a lifetime purchase that never renews.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-10

Tasks and time reports.

• Tasks: choose what you're working on before you start, and the session time goes to that task — even a failed session counts, up to the moment it broke.
• Weekly and monthly reports: total time, completed and failed sessions, a day-by-day chart and a split by task, compared with the previous period.
• Share a report as text or export it to CSV, one session per row.
• A deleted task disappears from the list, but its time stays in your history and reports.
• The session's finish time now sits on the Start button.
• Pick a background sound right from the start screen: tap one to hear a preview, and set the volume below the list.
• A new Privacy section in Settings: anonymous usage statistics help us improve the app, and you can turn them off.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-03

Background sounds and a refreshed start screen.

• Background sounds: rain, thunderstorm, sea, forest, café, airplane cabin, plus brown, pink and white noise. They play for the whole session, even with the screen locked, and never interrupt music from other apps.
• Stats now show which background sound helps you finish the most sessions.
• Start screen: the session length front and center on the Start button, a card with your daily goal, and sound and breaks just a tap away.
• Every ring counts down the same way: from 12 o'clock, with the arc you set on the dial winding back as the session runs.
• A sound picker in the introduction and a new icon.
• The session countdown now leaves the Lock Screen as soon as a session fails.
• Polished wording in every language.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-19

A fresh look and a smoother start.

• Set the session length on the dial down to the minute — near a full five minutes the dial snaps to it.
• Under the dial you see what time you'll finish; above it, "Your time": a length worked out from your own history, set with one tap.
• The bottom of the start screen now holds the time presets and shows which session of the cycle this is and how long the break after it will be.
• All session screens share one style, and the circle sits in the same spot on every one of them, so nothing jumps when the phase changes.
• On the alert screen, a ring around the phone icon counts down the seconds left to put it back down.
• Apple Watch now looks like the phone app and counts down those seconds too.
• A new icon and polished wording in every language.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-05
