MASTER YOUR TIME VISUALLY Time management is deeply personal, and SliceFocus offers a distinct, visual approach to organizing your day. By mapping your schedule onto a 24-hour circular timeline, you gain an immediate understanding of how your hours are distributed. Drag and drop time blocks directly onto the clock face to build a daily plan that makes sense for your lifestyle, no matter what your day entails. Seeing the whole day at a glance makes time tangible, a visual approach many people with ADHD find helpful. YOUR CALENDAR, IN THE SAME CIRCLE SliceFocus works with Apple Calendar. Your calendar events appear on the day view next to your slices, and you can export your planned slices into a calendar you choose. Move or delete an exported event in Calendar and SliceFocus follows. Add a native reminder before a slice starts so nothing slips past. BUILT-IN FOCUS TIMERS Execution requires concentration. SliceFocus integrates a fully featured Pomodoro timer into your daily blocks to help you maintain momentum. You have total control over your workflow: customize your work durations, short breaks, long breaks, and set exactly how many cycles you want to complete before an extended rest. Engage the built-in ambient soundscapes, featuring white, brown, and pink noise, to minimize background distractions and maintain deep focus. FOCUS SHIELD: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS AND WEBSITES Pick the apps and websites that pull you away, and SliceFocus blocks them during the work phases of your focus sessions. On iPhone you choose them with Screen Time, and the shield lifts at the planned end of the session even if the app is closed. On Mac, a session started on any of your devices shields the Mac too: a Safari extension blocks the websites on your list, and switching to a blocked app brings up a shield window. Breaks stay free. TRACK YOUR ACTUAL PROGRESS Understanding your habits is the key to improving them. SliceFocus captures your session history and generates detailed analytics, comparing your planned schedule against the actual time spent. Review your daily, weekly, and monthly trends to make informed, data-driven adjustments to your routine.
