Progressive Focus

Progressive Focus is a Pomodoro timer built for people who don't fit in a rigid 25-minute box. Instead of locking you into fixed cycles, Progressive Focus suggests a focus block based on how you've been working β and you can adjust it in one tap. The algorithm does the math. You make the call. WHY PROGRESSIVE FOCUS β’ Adaptive blocks. Each session is tailored to your flow. The app proposes, you decide. β’ Shorter breaks than the block you actually worked. You earned a break β not an excuse to lose momentum. β’ Everything is editable. Block length, break length, project β before, during, after. No friction. β’ No account. No sign-up. No cloud sync you didn't ask for. Everything stays on your device. β’ Works offline. No server, no latency, no tracking. FOR YOUR FOCUS β’ Live Activities on iPhone β see your timer at a glance without unlocking. β’ Clean, distraction-free UI optimized for both iPhone and Mac. β’ Gentle audio cues and haptics at the end of each phase. β’ Light and dark themes that follow your system setting. β’ Onboarding that takes 30 seconds, not 5 minutes. PROJECTS AND STATS β’ Tag sessions with projects β see where your time actually goes. β’ Daily and weekly stats with beautiful Swift Charts. PRIVACY Progressive Focus collects nothing. No analytics. No advertising. No third-party SDKs. Your data lives in one place: your device. PRICING All Pro features are unlocked for your first 7 days, so you can see whether the upgrade fits how you work. After that, core features stay free forever β no ads, no nags. Free tier includes: the adaptive timer, up to 3 projects, the last 7 days of stats, Live Activities, audio cues and haptics, and system-following light/dark theme. Lifetime unlocks: unlimited projects, full stats history, Dynamic Island controls on iPhone, and retroactive session editing. No subscription. No auto-renewal. Buy once, yours forever. Universal Purchase: one price covers iPhone and Mac. Built with care. No bloat. No dark patterns. Just a better timer.
