About

FocusArt

Features
Read full description

FocusArt is a focus timer for people who need real concentration: knowledge workers, developers, designers, students, anyone at a desk who wants fewer distractions and more finished work. Pick a mode, start a session, and focus. When you stop, FocusArt turns your actual time into rest, and into art: a real painting from art history, added to a collection that's yours to keep. HOW IT WORKS • Five focus modes (Quick, Routine, and Deep are free to start; Intense and open-ended Zen come with FocusArt Pro), so a short task and a 90-minute deep work session both get a timer that fits. • Rest is earned, not guessed. Your break timer scales with how long you actually focused, not a fixed countdown. • Live Activity and widgets show your current session and today's progress from the Lock Screen or desktop, without opening the app. • Streaks track consistent days of hitting your focus goal, quietly, with no guilt if a day slips. • A leaderboard with weekly and monthly views lets you compare your focus hours with others, if you want to. YOUR GALLERY Every completed session earns a painting (real museum works, from Monet to Hokusai to Van Gogh), building a personal collection of twelve you can revisit anytime. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL PRO PLAN The free plan includes three focus modes, the full painting gallery, all your data for as long as you use FocusArt, and Sanctuary, a distraction blocker that keeps one app of your choice out of reach during a session. FocusArt Pro adds the Intense and Zen modes, unlimited apps, categories, and websites in Sanctuary plus always-on blocking, and calendar sync for completed sessions. Choose Weekly, Yearly, or Lifetime. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC FocusArt runs natively on iPhone and Mac. Your settings sync between them over iCloud, so your focus goal and preferences follow you. A calm, distraction-free way to focus. No streaks to protect, no guilt for a day off, just a timer, a break you earned, and real art along the way. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS FocusArt Pro is available as an auto-renewable subscription, billed weekly or yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
