Focus Timer

Read full description

Plan your day in time boxes, focus on one block at a time and see where the time went, on iPhone and now on Mac. PLAN THE DAY • Pick up to three priorities for today: your Big 3. • Put tasks into time boxes on a timeline, each with a real start and end. • Unfinished tasks come back to the list with a miss recorded, so the ones you keep dodging rise instead of sinking. FOCUS • Start a box and the session counts down to its end, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island too. • Add at most three new tasks mid-session, so the running block doesn't turn back into an inbox. • Widgets for your Big 3, today's focus progress and a quick way into your tasks. LOOK BACK • A short review after each session: what got done, what went back and how it went. • A monthly calendar shows focus time and finished tasks day by day. • Insights chart your focus by week, month and year. ON IPHONE AND MAC • With Premium, iCloud keeps tasks, time boxes and sessions in sync between your iPhone and your Mac. • FocusMind for Mac adds a floating focus bar and a timer in the menu bar. • Import a TickTick backup or a CSV file, and export your data any time. • A Premium subscription or lifetime unlock covers both iPhone and Mac. FocusMind Premium Includes unlimited daily focus time, history older than 3 days and iCloud sync between iPhone and Mac. • Length: 1 month or 1 year, renewed automatically each period • Price: see in-app pricing for your region • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal turned off in your Account Settings on the App Store Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.pentarab.com/focusmind/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.pentarab.com/focusmind/privacy
