OneFocus turns a focus plan into one clear session across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Choose a Focus Profile, set a duration, and see whether each device is protectedβ€”without a vague all-green status hiding a problem. FOCUS YOUR WAY β€’ Start 25, 50, or 90-minute sessions, or choose a custom duration. β€’ Build Profiles for Deep Work, Study, Reading, and your own routines. β€’ Block selected apps and websites on iPhone and iPad with Apple's Screen Time controls. β€’ Use the free Mac companion to protect supported apps and websites. β€’ Keep a session going with local rain, cafΓ©, train, forest, wave, and other procedural sounds. ONE SESSION, HONEST STATUS Private iCloud sync carries your active session, Profiles, schedules, history, and verified Pro status between devices. OneFocus shows iPhone Protected, Mac Protected, Waiting, Needs Permission, or Offline separately, so you know what is actually happening. Existing local sessions and history remain useful offline. HISTORY THAT EXPLAINS YOUR TIME Review Today, 7 Days, Month, and All Time. See pause-aware totals, streaks, Profile distribution, a calendar heatmap, Focus Constellation, and per-device protection intervals. Session details preserve the Profile used at the time, even if you later rename it. APPLE WORKFLOWS Use App Shortcuts for quick 25 or 50-minute starts, open History, and coordinate OneFocus with an Apple Focus through a guided Shortcut. Core actions support VoiceOver, larger text, reduced motion, and keyboard navigation. FREE AND PRO The free version includes manual sessions, one custom Profile, four sounds, a daily goal, basic iPhone/Mac connection, Flexible mode, and recent history.
