ThenFocus: Time for Deep Work

ThenFocus is a focus timer built for deep work. Set your intention, block distracting apps, and protect your attention when it matters most. PROVEN FOCUS PROTOCOLS Choose from three time-tested methods: Pomodoro (25 min work / 5 min rest) — The classic technique that millions trust. Short focused bursts with regular breaks keep your mind fresh. 33:33 (Eugene Schwartz Method) — The legendary copywriter's secret. One rule: work on your task or sit and do nothing. No switching, no distractions. Gimme Five (5 min quick sessions) — When starting feels hard, this gets you moving. Perfect for building momentum or tackling small tasks. SET DAILY GOALS Decide how many sessions you want to complete each day. See exactly how much focused work time that adds up to. Four Pomodoro sessions? That's 1 hour 40 minutes of deep work with 20 minutes of rest built in. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS (Premium) This is where ThenFocus becomes your focus guardian. Using Apple's native Screen Time API, we can block entire app categories during your sessions — Social, Games, Entertainment, whatever pulls your attention away. This is not a gentle reminder. Blocked apps are inaccessible until your session ends. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS The History screen shows your focus journey through an intuitive heatmap. See patterns emerge — when do you focus best? Which days are most productive? Watch the grid fill in as you build your practice. Below the heatmap, browse your completed sessions with timestamps and protocol types. Free users see today and yesterday in full detail. Premium unlocks your complete history. DESIGNED FOR DEEP WORK ThenFocus is intentionally minimal. No gamification, no streaks with fire emojis, no shame mechanics. Just a clean, calm interface that helps you do what matters. We believe blocking should feel protective, not punitive. When you try to open a blocked app, the message is simple: "Session in progress." Then you return to your work.
