About

Focus Angler

Read full description

Cast your line, put your phone down and focus. When the time is up, a fish bites. The longer you stay, the rarer the catch. Focus Angler is a calm Pomodoro timer for study, deep work and everyday tasks, set on a painted floating island. One button to start, nothing loud on the screen, and a gentle reward at the end of every session. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a Pomodoro cycle or a simple timer, from 5 minutes to 2 hours. • Cast. Your angler sits in a camp chair by the water while you work. • When the time is up, a fish bites. Reel it in and take a break. • Give up early and the line snaps. No guilt: just cast again. A FISH FOR EVERY FOCUS • 30 kinds across the lake, the river and the sea, from common to legendary. The river and the sea open as you focus. • Longer sessions bring rarer fish. • Every catch swims on in My Catch, with its day, length and weight. FOCUS TOGETHER • Open a room with a 6-digit code and focus with a friend, each at your own pace (up to five of you with Focus Angler+). • Fish together over FaceTime with SharePlay. MADE TO KEEP YOU CALM • Four seasons and the time of day follow your own clock. • Nature sounds made for the app, playing under your Apple Music or Spotify. • Streaks, a focus calendar, a weekly goal and Game Center achievements. • Strict mode: leave the app and the line snaps. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Home and Lock Screen widgets, the Live Activity and the Dynamic Island. • Apple Watch: cast from your wrist and feel the bite. • Siri and Shortcuts, iPhone and iPad. • VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and 50 languages. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your catches stay on your phone. FOCUS ANGLER+ Unlock six special maps, each with its own fish, more anglers, companions and rods, fish designs, rooms of five, pixel and retro styles, app icons, widget themes, deeper stats, the apps you keep open during a focus, Apple Health and Calendar, and iCloud sync across your devices. Focus Angler+ is offered monthly, yearly (with a free trial) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your Apple Account settings.
