Read full description

Last Focus is a focused timer for people who want one clear block of work at a time. Start a simple focus block, build a stack of focus and break phases, or use widgets and Live Activities to stay with the session from your Lock Screen. Last Focus is built to feel calm, minimal, and serious: no streak pressure, no social layer, no account, no feed. What you can do: - Start quick focus blocks - Run focus stacks with short and long breaks - Pause, resume, and start the next block from the Lock Screen - Use Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - See today’s focused time and recent sessions - Get Time Sensitive reminders when a block or break ends - Use system alarm alerts on supported iOS versions Last Focus keeps the timer simple but makes the surrounding system strong: widgets for quick starts, Live Activities for active sessions, and alarm-style alerts when supported. Privacy is simple too. Last Focus does not require an account. Your focus history and settings stay on your device. Support emails are used only to respond to your request.
