FocusOrbit

FocusOrbit is the app for anything that repeats in stations — your workday just as much as your workout. Define once what your cycle consists of, and FocusOrbit guides you through it, station by station, again and again. You never have to decide what's next. AS A FOCUS APP AT THE OFFICE Files, emails, deadlines, breaks — FocusOrbit keeps you on track without you having to keep track yourself. Every station counts items, measures time, or both, and advances automatically or after your confirmation. AS A FITNESS APP AT THE GYM Warm-up, exercises, sets, recovery — the same cycle idea carries a workout just as well. One tap on your Apple Watch moves things along without interrupting your training. HOW IT WORKS – A cycle consists of any number of stations, each with its own color and name – Every station advances by a count of finished items, by time, or both – After the last station, the cycle starts again from the top automatically ON ALL YOUR DEVICES – A standalone Apple Watch app you can operate entirely from your wrist – A widget and Live Activity on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island – Private sync via iCloud across all your own devices KEEPING TRACK Statistics show, for any date range you choose, how many items and how much time went into each station, including a trend compared with the previous period. Export as a CSV file for your own spreadsheet. YOU DECIDE WHAT GETS SAVED Statistics can be turned off entirely at any time — then nothing gets recorded — or cleared with one tap. FocusOrbit works without an account, without ads, and without third-party tracking. TWO SAMPLE CYCLES TO GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY An office-day example and a workout example are ready to go from the very first launch — and, of course, fully editable. SUBSCRIPTION FocusOrbit is funded through a monthly subscription purchased through the App Store. You can try it free for one month; after that it renews automatically at the price shown, unless you cancel in your Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The subscription can be cancelled monthly, with no minimum term. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ — Privacy Policy: https://focusorbit.net/privacy.html
