Wheneri helps you track recurring tasks, chores and routines with no strict schedule in a simple list with two numbers: days since you last did something and days until it’s time to do it again. See when things actually happen, understand your patterns over time, and know when something might need your attention again — while staying flexible about when to do it. Its low-pressure approach can also work well for people with ADHD.

About

Hold Focus

Features
Read full description

Hold Focus is a reminder, not a blocker. You name the one thing you are working on and how long it should take. Then you put the phone down. When you pick it up again, the task is already on the Lock Screen with the time left on it. At intervals it asks you one question. Nothing is ever blocked. Every question has a way through, and taking it costs you four seconds and nothing else. There is no streak to lose, no score, and no red. WHAT IT DOES One task, one sentence. Not a list, not a project, not a backlog. The task and the time left on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, and on the Home Screen — wherever you happen to look first. Reminders that arrive with the app closed, and that still reach you when a Focus mode is on, because that is exactly when you are trying to concentrate. Optionally, choose which apps count as a distraction. Hold Focus then notices when you have been in one and counts what actually broke the work, so the session ends with an honest picture rather than a guess. A Shortcuts action, so an automation can put your task in front of you the moment a chosen app opens. PRIVACY Nothing leaves your phone. There is no account, no server, no sync, no analytics, no ads and no third-party code. If you choose apps to watch, Apple hands the app anonymous tokens. Hold Focus never learns which apps you picked — when it shows you what interrupted you, iOS is drawing those names itself. Your history stays on the device and you can erase all of it with one tap. WHAT IT WILL NEVER DO Hold Focus never blocks, restricts, hides or delays access to anything. It has no parental mode and no employer mode. It cannot be pointed at another person.
