About

Focus

Read full description

Focus turns the dates you care about into widgets you actually see. Countdowns, habit trackers and counters — on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, where a number does more than a reminder buried inside an app. THREE KINDS OF WIDGET • Countdown — in days, or down to the second. When the day finally arrives, the widget says so instead of counting into the negative. • Habit tracker — tick today straight from the Home Screen, without opening anything. A month grid, your current streak, your best run, and badges at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days. • Counter — glasses of water, books read, cigarettes not smoked. One tap adds one, from the widget itself. MADE TO LOOK LIKE YOURS Eight themes, free colour choice, gradient backgrounds, your own photo behind the widget with blur and dimming, five typefaces, and control over every text colour. BADGES YOU KEEP Streak badges are earned on your best run ever — never on the current one. Losing a streak already stings; it should not take a badge with it. NOTIFICATIONS, WITHOUT THE NAGGING Three moments, all of them your own doing: a countdown arriving, a badge earned, a counter filled. Free, off until you ask for them, and nothing that begs you to come back. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No server. Everything is stored on your device, and the whole app works offline. FREE Unlimited countdowns, one habit tracker, one counter, two themes and the small widget — and the very first widget you make keeps every Pro option, for good. It is the only honest way to show what Pro looks like before asking. FOCUS PRO — ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Unlimited habit trackers and counters • All eight themes • Any colour, gradients, and your own photos • Five typefaces • Medium and Lock Screen widgets • Goals of your own — any number of days, not just 7, 30 or 100 Available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.
