Capsla is a quiet Pomodoro timer for studying, deep work and anything that needs your full attention. Set your focus length, short and long breaks, and the number of cycles. Block distracting apps while you focus: Capsla asks for Screen Time access and lifts the block the moment the phase ends. The timer is wherever you look: in a Live Activity and the Dynamic Island, on the Lock Screen, on Apple Watch, in widgets, in Control Center and on the Action button. Ask Siri to pause or start, and the answer comes with a card and buttons for the next step. You rarely need to open the app. Capsla has its own Apple Watch app. Start, pause and reset from your wrist, even when your iPhone isn't nearby, and the two stay in step. Turn the Digital Crown to set the focus length, feel a tap when a phase ends, and keep the timer on your watch face or in the Smart Stack. Phases you finish on the watch count in your statistics on iPhone. Notifications do real work. A quiet heads-up a few minutes before focus ends, a signal when a phase is over, buttons to start the break or the next focus right from the banner, and a reminder if you forget to come back after a break. Notifications are Time Sensitive, so they come through Do Not Disturb. Statistics show where your attention went: net focus time by week, month and all time, a chart by day, the hours you focus best, days in a row and time by tag. History starts the day you install Capsla, and the app never fills in numbers it did not record. Export all of it as a CSV file whenever you like. On iOS 27, the statistics widget can fill a whole Home Screen page.
