Focusio turns a goal into steps you can finish, then helps you focus on one step at a time. AI-DRAFTED PLANS (PREMIUM) Type a goal and generate a draft plan with Apple Intelligence. You get clear steps with a planned time for each. Review them, edit or delete what you do not need, and save only what you want. Available on devices and languages that support Apple Intelligence. BREAK GOALS INTO STEPS Create a goal, add steps and give each one a planned time. Choose a color, add notes and set an optional reminder for a date or for the days of the week you pick. SEE WHAT COMES NEXT The Goals screen shows your next step, how long you have focused today and how many sessions you have finished. Every goal has a progress ring, a count of finished steps and the time left. FOCUS ON ONE STEP Start a timer on the current step. Pause and resume when life interrupts, then stop when you are done. The ring follows your planned time, and each session saves its date and length. FOLLOW YOUR SESSION AT A GLANCE A running session appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. Pause, resume or stop it from there. FINISH WITH A SUMMARY When you finish a step, compare planned and spent time, save it, and mark the step complete. Changed your mind? Reopen it.
