Focus Mode One vs Linger

Ninety days from now, you've made real, visible progress on the one or two things that actually matter to you — not by hustling harder, but because every single day was quietly pointed at your bigger picture. You end the quarter clear, in control, and proud — instead of busy, scattered, and wondering where the time went. That's the promise. Here's why it usually doesn't happen. THE REASON YOU'RE STUCK ISN'T EFFORT You're not lazy. You're busy. And busy is not the same as moving. • Your list is full, yet the goals that matter most stay "someday." • Every planner fizzles by week two. One missed day, a flicker of shame, and you quietly stop opening it. • Planning itself becomes a chore — an empty box, or a machine you have to build and maintain forever. • "I'll plan when things calm down." They never calm down. You need a method with a spine. THE SYSTEM Focus Mode One wires a 90-day intent to today's next 90 minutes — across three horizons and three guided rituals: • Quarter — the horizon that gives everything meaning • Week — the bridge • Day — where it actually happens THE CASCADE connects them by default. Every day links to a week, and every week to a quarter goal — so you're never just organizing tasks, you're advancing what matters. Three guided rituals mean you never face a blank page: • Focus Future (~15 min, quarterly) — six guided questions that turn the quarter into one to three real objectives. • Weekly Launch Pad (~5 min) — pulls forward from your quarter into a focused week. • Daily Planning Ritual (~3 min, daily) — plan the whole day in the time it takes coffee to brew. Then you execute. Slide to start Focus Mode and do one thing at a time — busy, replaced by progress. WHAT YOU GET • The Cascade — three linked horizons, wired together by default • Focus Future, the Weekly Launch Pad, and the Daily Planning Ritual — guided, never blank • Slide-to-Start Focus Mode — single-task deep work with a timer • The Momentum Engine — XP, ranks, streaks, and 18 trophies • Overdue Rescue — one-tap triage, because falling behind is never shameful • Forever Archive — every quarter you've ever planned, kept • The Weekly Promise Tracker, the Someday shelf, The Anchor, and Pull-Back Reminders for silent drift It's closer to a coach than an app — the Focus Method Masterclass, planning templates, and live quarterly workshops, all built in. TWO GUARANTEES 1. The Right-Fit Guarantee. Start with a 7-day free trial, then a full 30 days. If Focus Mode isn't the right fit — for any reason — one tap and you're refunded, and you keep the planning templates. 2. The Proud Quarter Guarantee. Run your first full quarter with us. Do the work — five Daily Planning Rituals a week, every Weekly Launch Pad — and if you still can't say you're proud, we refund all three months. The only thing guaranteed not to work is another blank-slate morning. WHO IT'S FOR The ambitious person with a real long-term goal — a business, a body, a book, a career — tired of being busy without moving, and of apps that are either empty boxes or overwhelming machines. Who it isn't for: quick capture for errands and shopping lists, with no bigger picture behind them. Learn more at focusmode.one — the method, the blog, and notes on Focus.

Reminders that don't go away. Every reminder gets its own card on your Lock Screen, and it stays there until you deal with it. No badge to miss, no list you have to remember to open. Swipe the card away and it's done. If you have ever closed a reminders app and forgotten the reminder existed, Linger is built for exactly that. WRITE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT Type "water the plants every Tuesday at 8am" and Linger reads the schedule out of the sentence. It shows you what it understood, so nothing gets silently misread. Every repeat you'd actually want is there — daily, weekdays, every Tuesday and Thursday, the 1st of the month — without a form to fill in. FINISHING IS ONE GESTURE Swipe the card off your Lock Screen and the reminder is complete. A repeat rolls forward to its next date on its own. You never have to open the app at all. SEE WHAT IT ADDS UP TO Every reminder keeps a grid of each day you ticked it off — months of it, readable at a glance. Streaks count themselves. It's the difference between thinking you've kept something up and knowing you have. PUT SOMETHING DOWN WITHOUT LOSING IT Archive takes a reminder off your Lock Screen and out of the list, and keeps its whole history. Bring it back whenever you like and the grid comes back with it. Something archived in March and restored in August returns on its next real date, not five months overdue. YOUR REMINDERS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind. What you write is a file on your device and nowhere else — there is no copy of it on any server, ours included. ALSO • A Home Screen widget, so it's there before you unlock • Fourteen colours, so a glance tells you which is which • Dark mode, lit properly rather than dimmed • A backstop notification, so a reminder can never quietly vanish FREE, AND WHAT PLUS ADDS Linger is free to use, with one reminder on your Lock Screen at a time. Linger Plus lifts that limit — keep as many as you like, each on its own card — and is a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-off lifetime purchase. The yearly plan starts with seven days free: the whole app, nothing held back. We'll remind you the day before the trial ends, so it can't turn into a charge you didn't expect. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Linger Plus is available as a monthly subscription and a yearly subscription, both auto-renewing, and as a one-time lifetime purchase that never renews. The price in your local currency is shown on the purchase screen before anything is charged. A subscription renews at the end of each period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before that period ends. You can turn it off at any time in your App Store account settings.
