Train your focus in 25 minute sessions. Deep scores each day out of 100 based on your sessions, interruptions and breaks, so you can see your focus improve over time. DAILY FOCUS SCORE Each day starts at zero. Completing sessions, limiting interruptions and taking regular breaks builds your score. Three sub scores show where your day was strong and where it slipped. FOCUS SESSIONS Start a session and put your phone down. The timer keeps running in the background and notifies you the moment it ends, so you never need to check the screen. INTERRUPTION AND BREAK TRACKING Record interruptions as they happen and see their effect on your score. Deep also reminds you to take breaks, because sustained focus needs recovery. GUIDED PROGRESSION Set a daily session target during onboarding. As you hit your target consistently, Deep offers to raise it. APPLE WATCH, WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITIES Start and follow sessions from your wrist, glance at today's score from a widget, and track the running timer from the lock screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No network connections. Everything stays on your device.
