MASTER YOUR TIME VISUALLY Time management is deeply personal, and SliceFocus offers a distinct, visual approach to organizing your day. By mapping your schedule onto a 24-hour circular timeline, you gain an immediate understanding of how your hours are distributed. Drag and drop time blocks directly onto the clock face to build a daily plan that makes sense for your lifestyle, no matter what your day entails. Seeing the whole day at a glance makes time tangible, a visual approach many people with ADHD find helpful. YOUR CALENDAR, IN THE SAME CIRCLE SliceFocus works with Apple Calendar. Your calendar events appear on the day view next to your slices, and you can export your planned slices into a calendar you choose. Move or delete an exported event in Calendar and SliceFocus follows. Add a native reminder before a slice starts so nothing slips past. BUILT-IN FOCUS TIMERS Execution requires concentration. SliceFocus integrates a fully featured Pomodoro timer into your daily blocks to help you maintain momentum. You have total control over your workflow: customize your work durations, short breaks, long breaks, and set exactly how many cycles you want to complete before an extended rest. Engage the built-in ambient soundscapes, featuring white, brown, and pink noise, to minimize background distractions and maintain deep focus. FOCUS SHIELD: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS AND WEBSITES Pick the apps and websites that pull you away, and SliceFocus blocks them during the work phases of your focus sessions. On iPhone you choose them with Screen Time, and the shield lifts at the planned end of the session even if the app is closed. On Mac, a session started on any of your devices shields the Mac too: a Safari extension blocks the websites on your list, and switching to a blocked app brings up a shield window. Breaks stay free. TRACK YOUR ACTUAL PROGRESS Understanding your habits is the key to improving them. SliceFocus captures your session history and generates detailed analytics, comparing your planned schedule against the actual time spent. Review your daily, weekly, and monthly trends to make informed, data-driven adjustments to your routine. KEY FEATURES • Circular 24-Hour Timeline: Visualize your tasks as color-coded arcs on a continuous clock face. • Drag-and-Drop Scheduling: Create and adjust time blocks with intuitive touch controls. • Apple Calendar & Reminders: See your events on the day view, export slices, and get reminders before they start. • Highly Customizable Timers: Set exact durations for work, short breaks, long breaks, and cycle intervals. • Focus Shield: Block the apps and websites you choose during work phases, on iPhone and Mac. • Focus Soundscapes: Integrated white, brown, and pink noise for immediate concentration. • Reality Check Analytics: Detailed reports comparing your actual execution against your planned day. • Trend Dashboards: Track your session history across daily, weekly, and monthly views. • Live Activities & Widgets: Monitor your active timer directly from your iOS lock screen. • macOS Menu Bar Timer: Keep your focus visible when working on your Mac. • Smart Phase Notifications: Timely push alerts for transitioning between work and breaks. • One Timer Across Devices: Start on iPhone, see the same session on your Mac, with auto-advance between work and break. • Frictionless Login: Quick, secure access using Apple or Google Sign-In. • Adaptive Interface: Fully optimised Light and Dark themes.

24 Hours turns your day into a budget. Give each goal its share of the 24 hours (sleep 8, work 6, exercise 1), press Start when you begin it, and watch its countdown. One timer runs at a time, so an hour spent on one goal comes out of the day. The ring on the home screen shows each goal's share of the day and what is left. HOW A DAY WORKS • Pick a starter plan (Balanced Day, Workday, Student, Fitness Reset, Weekend, Deep Work) or add your own goals. • Press Start on a goal to begin its countdown, and Pause to stop it. The countdown keeps running when the app is closed or the phone is locked. • At your day start (midnight unless you pick another time in Settings) the day is saved to history and daily goals start full again. With a midnight start, an overnight goal like Sleep, started from 6 pm and on the next day's schedule, counts on the day you wake. FREE • Up to 10 goals, each on the weekdays you choose • Weekly goals, such as 8 hours a week for a language: they count up time from any day of the week. Countdowns, the daily reset and the goal finished alert apply to daily goals • The running countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with today's hours left, and a Shortcut to start today's goal • Pause the running goal from a Home Screen widget, or a running daily goal from the rectangular Lock Screen widget (iOS 17 and later) • Log time you already spent, including time that crossed midnight • An alert when a running goal reaches its time (off until you turn it on) • Trends for the last 30 days, and edits to any of the last 90 days • A picture of your day to share, and your history as CSV (copied to the clipboard) • A backup file of your goals and history that you save and restore yourself • Navy, Indigo and AMOLED Black themes, each in light and dark SUPPORTER, ONE PAYMENT • Unlimited goals • One-time goals for a single date • 90-day Trends, custom ranges, and weekday and tag breakdowns • 6 more color themes • Backup to your own Google Drive, by hand or automatically There is no subscription, and the free app keeps working if you never buy it.
