## What is Progressive Focus?

Progressive Focus is a Pomodoro timer built for people who don't fit in a rigid 25-minute box.

Instead of locking you into fixed cycles, Progressive Focus suggests a focus block based on how you've been working — and you can adjust it in one tap. The algorithm does the math. You make the call.

WHY PROGRESSIVE FOCUS

• Adaptive blocks. Each session is tailored to your flow. The app proposes, you decide.
• Shorter breaks than the block you actually worked. You earned a break — not an excuse to lose momentum.
• Everything is editable. Block length, break length, project — before, during, after. No friction.
• No account. No sign-up. No cloud sync you didn't ask for. Everything stays on your device.
• Works offline. No server, no latency, no tracking.

FOR YOUR FOCUS

• Live Activities on iPhone — see your timer at a glance without unlocking.
• Clean, distraction-free UI optimized for both iPhone and Mac.
• Gentle audio cues and haptics at the end of each phase.
• Light and dark themes that follow your system setting.
• Onboarding that takes 30 seconds, not 5 minutes.

PROJECTS AND STATS

• Tag sessions with projects — see where your time actually goes.
• Daily and weekly stats with beautiful Swift Charts.

PRIVACY

Progressive Focus collects nothing. No analytics. No advertising. No third-party SDKs. Your data lives in one place: your device.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-30

Your focus, uninterrupted.

• Keep going past the timer: when a focus block or break reaches zero, the timer now counts UP instead of stopping — the extra time you stay focused still counts toward your stats.
• The Live Activity now stays on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island after a block ends, so you can tap straight back in.
• The end-of-session sound now plays reliably when your iPhone is locked.
• The alarm stops the moment you rate a block or start the next one.
• Various reliability and polish fixes.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-25
