About

Last Focus

Features
Read full description

One block for studying or working. A break between sessions. And a way to look back at the time you actually spent focusing. Last Focus is a Pomodoro timer for iPhone and iPad. Start a single focus Block or build a Stack with focus periods and short or long breaks. No task-management system, social feed, or streak pressure. STAY WITH YOUR SESSION Keep your timer visible on the Lock Screen with Live Activities. Pause and resume there, or start the next Block. Use widgets for a quick start. When you need more time, add 5, 10, or 15 minutes to an active Block without starting over. Receive reminders when a focus period or break ends. System alarm alerts are available on supported iOS versions. UNDERSTAND YOUR FOCUS TIME See today's focused time, recent sessions, and your current-week Report for free. Last Focus Unlimited adds deeper reports, Focus Breakdown and Your Rhythm, plus Saved Blocks and personalization. FROM IPHONE TO IPAD Use Last Focus natively on iPad, with a sidebar on wide windows and support for Split View and Stage Manager. With Unlimited, opt in to iCloud Sync to keep supported history, labels, saved blocks, and focus settings across your devices. You can also follow and control one shared running focus across your devices. LOCAL USE, OPTIONAL SYNC No separate Last Focus account is required. Your local focus loop works without Sync. Optional iCloud Sync uses your Apple account and stays off until you enable it. Device-specific appearance and sound settings stay on each device. You can also keep using Last Focus locally without a connection.
