Focusin Pro is a Pomodoro timer that stays out of your way — a quiet pie-clock in your menu bar that fills as you focus. Click it and a glass clock face opens: drag the knob to set your session length, press play, and get to work. The dial counts down in minutes you can feel, right beside the menu-bar clock. When the session ends, Focusin rings, shows an optional celebration popup, and rolls into your break — a long one every fourth session. DESIGNED FOR THE MENU BAR • A live pie-clock countdown next to your clock, with an optional time label • One-click start, pause, and stop — no window to manage, no Dock icon • Pause for up to 5 minutes; step away longer and the session resets, keeping your stats honest • An optional session-complete popup you can't miss (and can switch off) • Adjust the session on the fly — drag the knob mid-timer to add or trim time WORK, THEN RECHARGE • Automatic breaks with their own green dial counting down your rest • Auto-start the next session after a break, if you like momentum • Set work and rest lengths with the dial knob or the steppers MAKE IT YOURS • Name your task — the title travels with your session everywhere • Windup, ticking, and ringing sounds, each individually switchable • 12- or 24-hour time, notifications, and display options ON EVERY DEVICE Focusin Pro includes iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch companion apps. Buy Pro once — on any platform — and every Pro feature unlocks on all of them. FOCUSIN PRO (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase) • iCloud sync — start on your Mac, watch it tick on iPhone and Apple Watch; pause anywhere and your task, statistics, and history follow • Statistics — three views: a Daily timeline, a weekly chart, and a monthly heat-map calendar that deepens to orange on your most focused days • Daily timeline — every completed session and break for the day, with start–end times, duration, and any paused time; delete an entry or copy the whole day as Markdown • Calendar logging — completed sessions are written to your calendar automatically, with one clean event per session across all your devices • Manual logging — missed a session, or worked away from your devices? Log it for any date and time in two clicks; it lands in your stats, Daily timeline, and calendar • Task history — re-select your most recent tasks with a single click, and pin the ones you return to A small tip jar is there if Focusin Pro earns a place in your day. Focusin Pro is built with the Pomodoro Technique in mind: 25 minutes of work, short breaks, a long break every four sessions. All durations are adjustable.

Your backup shouldn't depend on any company. YourKeep is a private, local-first file backup and encryption app. Protect important files with encryption and resilient splitting, or split files for redundant storage without using a recovery phrase. PROTECT YOUR IMPORTANT FILES Protect encrypts your files locally before splitting them into multiple pieces. Store those pieces across cloud drives, NAS devices, external drives, computers, or other locations you already trust. If one storage location becomes unavailable, your files can still be recovered from the remaining required pieces. • Local file encryption • Resilient multi-piece backup • Protect files up to 2 MB for free • No account required • No dedicated backup server • Store pieces wherever you choose • Recover anytime SPLIT WITHOUT ENCRYPTION Sometimes you need redundancy without encryption. Split lets you divide a file into multiple recoverable pieces without creating or using a recovery phrase. Keep the pieces in different locations and recover the original from the required number of pieces. Split does not encrypt your files. For private or sensitive data, use Protect. RECOVER WITHOUT LOCK-IN YourKeep backups are designed to remain under your control. Recovery does not depend on a YourKeep account or backup server. YourKeep automatically recognizes supported backup formats and determines whether a recovery phrase is required. Recovery is always free. BUILT FOR THE LONG TERM Apps come and go. Cloud providers change. Storage services evolve. Your backup should remain yours. YourKeep is built around a simple principle: Your backup shouldn't depend on YourKeep. Keep family photos, important documents, recovery keys, digital assets, private archives, and other files recoverable across the storage you already use. LOCAL-FIRST. OPEN. YOURS. • Private file backup • Encrypted backup • Offline file protection • File splitting and redundancy • Cross-platform recovery • Open recovery format • No vendor lock-in • No account • No backup server Your files. Your storage. Your backup.
