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.

Flyout is a markdown note app for iPhone and iPad. Capture from the share sheet, Control Centre, a Home Screen widget or Shortcuts, then find the note again with folders, tags and search. Turn on iCloud sync and your notes travel through your own iCloud account — nothing passes through our servers. Buy "Flyout for iPhone, iPad and Mac" and the Mac app is included, where a full editor slides out from the edge of your screen over your work. There is an iPhone-only option at a lower price. WHAT YOU GET • Quick notes — a tabbed scratchpad for what you never need to file • A real editor — headings, lists, tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, files • Reminders that live inside the note, not in a separate app • Tags that cut across folders, and folders for everything else • Lock a note with a password — it is encrypted on your device and in iCloud • iCloud sync on your own account — nothing passes through our servers • Capture from the share sheet, Control Centre, a Home Screen widget or Shortcuts TRY IT FIRST Seven days, everything unlocked. When the trial ends, Flyout locks until you buy it. Your notes are not deleted: they keep syncing if sync is on, and you can export them as Markdown. PRIVACY Sync stays off until you turn it on. Once it is on, your notes travel through your own iCloud account. We do not run a server that holds notes, we cannot read them, and there is no account to create. Locked notes are encrypted with a key derived from your password.
