FOCUS AND BREAK TIMERS - Start Focus or Break Sessions that count up. - Create countdown Blocks with overtime when needed. - Keep only one timer running at a time. - Choose Own Pace for manual control, Serious for distraction-aware automation, or Hardcore for stronger shielding when Screen Time access is enabled. GOALS AND HABITS - Create goals, projects, jobs, tests, and habits. - Choose a schedule and daily commitment. - Turn active plans into recurring Focus Blocks. - Track progress while keeping your private labels and descriptions on your device. MOTIVATION THAT GROWS WITH YOU - Earn XP from focused time and progress through 40 levels. - Unlock collectables and complete achievements. - Follow Focus Tips during intentional breaks. - See your Focus stamina and Break requirement over time.

OPTIONAL SCREEN TIME TOOLS - Choose apps and categories to shield during Focus. - Review activity through Apple's privacy-preserving Screen Time reports. - Screen Time permission is optional.

FULL ACCESS TrainMyFocus includes a free usage allowance. Apple-eligible new subscribers can start a 7-day free trial with Monthly or Yearly at any time, including before using that allowance. Starting the trial creates the selected auto-renewable subscription through Apple and immediately unlocks Full Access.

Lifetime is an immediate one-time purchase and never includes the trial. Prices are shown by the App Store before confirmation. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled through your Apple Account.
