About

In Focus answers two questions, and nothing else. What matters? One list of the threads you're carrying, in the order you decide. Not a score, not a due date — where you put it is how important it is. What can I do right now? The first next step of every thread you've focused, on one screen: the step to do now on a card at the top, and the rest of the queue under it, in order. THREADS, NOT PROJECTS A thread is anything you're carrying that takes more than one step — move house, learn piano, the thing at work you keep half-thinking about. Half of them never finish, which is why they aren't called projects. Give each an icon and a color. Drag to reorder. Focus the few that matter this week and they pin to the top. Each thread has its next steps, and a Later list for the ideas that aren't ready. Only the next steps ever reach Focus. LOOSE ENDS This is the part other apps don't have. When you finish the last ready step of something you've focused, the thread drops into Loose Ends and the tab fills in, because a priority with no next step is a promise you've quietly stopped keeping. Each loose end shows what you last finished on it and when, so you know what comes next. Type the next step and the keyboard moves to the one below — a whole list cleared in one pass. WHERE YOU ARE Give a step a place — Home, Office, Errands — and Focus shows only what you can do there, or everywhere but there. Steps with no place can be done anywhere. An iOS Focus mode can set it for you, so when Work turns on, so does Office. In Focus never asks for your location. The one reminder In Focus has is its own: an optional daily, weekly or monthly nudge to review your priorities. Off until you turn it on. SIRI AND SPOTLIGHT On iOS 27, Siri runs the whole app: what's next, what's loose, add a step, tick one off. Threads and steps are in Spotlight. IF IT NEEDS A DATE, IT BELONGS IN CALENDAR Add to Calendar opens Apple's own event editor with the step as the title and a link back to the thread. The step stays where it is, and In Focus never asks for access to your calendar. FEWER TAPS THAN REMINDERS • Add a thread and its first step in two taps plus typing. • Add a next step to any thread from any list, without opening it. • Swipe to focus, complete, or push a step to the back of the queue. WHAT'S NOT IN IT No due dates on anything. No recurrence, tags, sub-tasks, streaks or scores. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing sold. If it repeats — a habit, a routine, a checklist — it belongs in Redone, our separate app for what repeats. BUILT FOR IPHONE Liquid Glass throughout, no third-party code. VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion. Your data lives on your device and mirrors to your own iCloud account — there is no server of mine. Export it all as a file whenever you like. IN FOCUS PLUS In Focus is free for 3 active threads, with no time limit. In Focus Plus removes the cap. Nothing else is behind it — not iCloud sync, Later, contexts, Siri or backup. If a subscription lapses while you have twenty threads, nothing is deleted: your 3 oldest keep working, and the rest stay listed but locked until you subscribe again or archive to make room.

What's New in In

1.5

October 2, 2026

A NEW LOOK Every list is now a set of cards on a soft canvas. A thread's card leads with its name, its next step under it, and the step's place and how many are queued along the bottom. A loose end is outlined, so it stands out at a glance. ICONS AND COLORS Give each thread an icon and a color: twenty-one colors, and any SF Symbol, by category or by search. The icon leads the thread's name on Threads, Focus and Loose Ends. Threads you never style look exactly as they did. FOCUS IS A DECK Focus is one screen now. The step to do right now is a card on top; the rest of your queue is listed under it, in order, so you can see what follows. Done, Not Now and Skip work as before, and the card swipes like any row. ONE CONTEXT, MANY STEPS In a thread, tap Select, tick the steps, and set one context on all of them at once. PROMOTE IN ONE TAP A loose end with a step waiting for later shows it as a chip. Tap it and it becomes the next step. ABOUT THE FREE TIER In Focus is still free for 3 threads. If you have more without In Focus Plus — after a subscription ends, or from a backup — your 3 oldest keep working and the rest are locked: still listed, and still yours to open, rename, archive or delete, but not worked on until you subscribe or archive to make room. Nothing is ever deleted. MINOR IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES • The thread name is the prominent line on Threads. • The one-at-a-time cards show the thread's icon above its name. • Settings ▸ About shows the version number on its own.
