About

Focus Capsule

Features
Read full description

Focus Capsule is a Pomodoro timer that alternates work and rest. Studying, work, coding, workouts — set up a pomodoro for each thing you do, and start it with a single tap. One timer, filling the screen When a session starts, a single bar in your pomodoro's color fills the screen and shrinks as time passes. Choose whether to show the time left the whole way through or only in the final minute. Minimize it and a mini player stays at the bottom while the clock keeps running. When a session ends, choose what's next After a work session, pick a short rest, a long rest, or the next work session. Every fourth work session it suggests a long rest, and with Auto-continue on, it moves on by itself. See the time left without opening the app The time left appears in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. Home Screen widgets show how much you've focused today and let you tap a pomodoro to start it right away. Alerts, kept simple Choose None, Vibrate only, or a sound. Even with the screen off, you'll hear the sound you picked. Set one default for everything, and give any pomodoro its own. A month of focus at a glance See your weeks, months and years as bars and on a calendar. Tap a day to open up its sessions, or narrow the view to a single pomodoro. If you work past midnight, you can move the time your day starts. Your way Set the color, the direction the bar shrinks, and the work, rest and long rest lengths for each pomodoro. Pick one of three styles — Standard, Diary or Glass — a color scheme, and Light or Dark. iPhone, iPad and Mac With iCloud, the same pomodoros and records follow you to every device. On the Mac, the time left sits in the menu bar, and your session keeps going even after you close the window. Nothing collected No ads, no analytics, no account. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. Free for your first 50 pomodoros Every feature is free for your first 50 pomodoros. To keep going after that, choose a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase. Contact dev@codecompose.net — questions about the app and requests to build an app are both welcome.
