About

Lumiri Focus

Read full description

Lumiri Focus is a Pomodoro timer and daily task list for people who want to work with calm focus — not compete with their phone for attention. No subscriptions. No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No network requests of any kind. Buy once, and everything you need is already there — running entirely on your device. CYCLES THAT MAKE SENSE Start with Classic, Deep, or Sprint, or set your own focus, short break, and long break lengths. Lumiri Focus tracks the cycle for you and lets you know — gently — when a phase ends. ONE TASK IN VIEW, ALWAYS Add today's tasks and keep the current one visible while you work, right below the timer. Finish the list, and we'll ask if you're ready to move on — nothing forces its way in. NOTIFICATIONS YOU CAN TRUST Both the end of your focus and the end of your break are marked "Time Sensitive", so they can cut through iOS "Do Not Disturb" mode once you allow it in Settings. LIVE ACTIVITY Check your current phase from the Lock Screen. With autoplay on, see both the time to your break and the time to the end of the whole session, side by side — no need to reopen the app. NOTHING TO LOSE There's no streak to break, no plant to kill, no leaderboard. Pausing costs you nothing. Stopping needs no confirmation. Focus on your work, don't worry about fake rewards. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD The same calm interface, adapted thoughtfully for the larger screen. SEVEN LANGUAGES English, Polish, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean — switch anytime, no restart required. Lumiri Focus is the first app from Lumiri, a small studio building calm, one-time-purchase tools that stay out of your way. lumiriapps.com/focus
