QuietSession is a discreet haptic time-boundary tool for sessions, meetings, talks, coaching calls, consultations, and focused work. It helps you keep track of time without sound, alarms, or visible interruption. Create or choose a preset on iPhone, start a session from iPhone or your paired watch, and receive quiet haptic cues on your wrist as the session approaches its end. If a conversation runs long, a gentle overtime signal repeats until you confirm — and the extra minutes are tracked in your history. QuietSession is useful for: • therapists, coaches, and counselors running client sessions • consultations and 1-on-1 meetings • interviews, presentations, and talks • focused work blocks • any situation where checking a timer would feel distracting Core features: • built-in session presets • discreet wrist haptic cues • 5 min reminder, 1 min reminder, and end signal • pause and resume a running session • optional overtime signal with overtime tracked in History • start sessions from iPhone or your paired watch • start your last preset right from the watch face (complication & Smart Stack) • Live Activity on iPhone: time left on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Lock Screen widget for one-tap start • optional notifications • quiet running screen with Invisible Mode • local session history • available in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian • no account, no ads, no tracking QuietSession Pro unlocks custom presets, custom durations, profession preset templates (Therapist, Coach, Consultant), adjustable haptic signal setup, signal intensity controls, full history calendar, and CSV export for billing and timekeeping.

Do you have a long list of things to do and still cannot get started? Foco is not another task list. It is a place to store what is on your mind and, more importantly, a way to begin. Choose what you will do today and the app shows you one task at a time, with a timer and the material you need close at hand. It is designed for adults with ADHD, but it works for anyone who struggles to start or gets distracted halfway through. HOW IT WORKS BOARDS Create a space for each area of your life: work, study, home. Store tasks here without deciding when to do them. PLAN Choose today's tasks, even from different boards, and put them in order. When it is time to work, you do not have to make the same decisions again. FOCUS The whole screen changes. You see one task, a timer and nothing else. When you finish, the next task appears. EVERYTHING YOU NEED INSIDE THE TASK Add notes, links, files or photos. Your material is one tap away while you work. YOUR OWN PACE Use 25 minute focus blocks with 5 minute breaks, or choose your own timing with Foco Pro. The app can notify you when each block ends. NO PRESSURE There are no streaks to lose and no points to chase. When you finish, you see what you completed and what can wait for another session. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account is required. We do not use analytics or advertising. Your data stays on your iPhone and, if you choose, syncs privately through your iCloud. FREE AND PRO The free version includes three boards, unlimited tasks, notes and links, 25/5 focus blocks and iCloud sync. Foco Pro adds unlimited boards, custom focus and break times, plus file and image attachments. A 14 day free trial is included.
