Focura

Read full description

Most focus timers ship one rigid setup. Focura asks one question โ€” do you struggle to start, stay, or stop? โ€” then tunes the timer, haptics, and pacing to match. Built for ADHD brains. Works for anyone fighting a 25-minute box. A TIMER THAT FITS HOW YOU FOCUS Pick your struggle and Focura adjusts the physics: โ€ข Starting โ€” 5-minute first wins and gentle pacing, no pressure haptics โ€ข Staying โ€” classic 25s with a soft haptic heartbeat anchoring the last minute โ€ข Stopping โ€” longer blocks and 10-minute wind-downs, because transitions hurt YOUR CALENDAR BECOMES THE PLAN Connect iOS Calendar (read-only) and your events appear as locked time blocks, so the day is never empty. If a meeting starts mid-session, Focura auto-pauses your timer and lets you know. HYPERFOCUS IS CELEBRATED, NOT PUNISHED Run past the timer and the screen turns green: Flow State. No alarm yanking you out, no red "overtime" guilt. Keep going โ€” Focura keeps counting. MISSED A BLOCK? NO SHAME. โ€ข Smart Reschedule finds it a new slot in one tap (Premium) โ€ข Skipping records a reason, not a failure โ€” and your streak forgives it โ€ข Streaks come with freeze days, so a rough day doesn't break the chain โ€ข Fresh Start resets the day without erasing what you already did BRAIN DUMP YOUR REMINDERS Your iOS Reminders show up as an inbox on the Today tab. Tap one, give it a time, done. Finish the session and Focura offers to check the reminder off. A DAY YOU CAN SEE A visual timeline where every block is sized to its real duration. Drag to reorder. Pin a block to a time, or let Focura slot it into the next free gap. Morning person or night owl โ€” set your own day's start and end. ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY Lock Screen Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and a Home Screen widget keep your current block and today's progress visible without unlocking your phone. 100% ON-DEVICE No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. Your blocks and sessions live in your iPhone's local database. Your focus, your data, your control. FREE FOREVER โ€ข Up to 7 recurring time blocks (one-off blocks unlimited) โ€ข Calendar mirroring, weekly stats, and forgiving streaks โ€ข Full timer with Flow State, widget + Live Activity FOCURA PREMIUM โ€ข Unlimited time blocks โ€ข Smart Reschedule โ€” one-tap recovery for missed blocks โ€ข Custom app icons โ€ข Every premium feature we ship next, included Monthly, annual (over 60% off), or lifetime โ€” see pricing in the app. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
