Queue Focus brings task planning and a focus timer into one simple flow: plan today, choose one task, focus, finish, and move forward. Instead of switching between a to-do app and a timer, build a clear Today queue and act on it. When a task is done, tap Done, Next and keep your momentum. Lists are more than categories—they can represent the context you want to focus on. Create a Grocery list for milk, bread, and eggs. Create a Travel list for clothes, a charger, a wallet, and your passport. Switch lists to bring your attention back to what you are doing now. PLAN TODAY • Build and reorder a focused Today queue; batch-select to move or delete • Start a focus session from a task; set any focus and break duration • Pause, take a break, finish, and move to what’s next • See upcoming dues on Today; undo a completed task shortly after • Get local notifications when focus or break time ends FOCUS ON THE CURRENT CONTEXT • Create colored lists for shopping, travel, work, or daily routines • Filter by list and see only what matters now • Add planned dates, deadlines, and Important flags • Browse the month in Calendar, jump to a day, and batch-reschedule BUILD YOUR FOCUS RHYTHM • A clean Pomodoro-style focus timer • Focus stats for week / month / year and about seven days of Focus History from Today • Control focus from Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities • Free Home Screen widgets for Today and interactive Focus • No extra account—tasks and sessions stay on your device; with Pro, sync across devices with Apple iCloud QUEUE FOCUS PRO • Unlimited custom lists • Unlimited recurring tasks • Unlimited focus goals on tasks • iCloud sync • Longer focus history • Edit and add focus history Core task management (including batch), Today focus at any duration, up to 3 custom lists, up to 3 recurring tasks, up to 3 tasks with focus goals, Home Screen widgets, Focus Stats (week / month / year), about seven days of Focus History, Calendar month view, and upcoming dues remain free.

One round, one thing. Roundi holds you to a single task and shows the time as color: focus you can see. Turn the dial, press start, and a disc of color begins to disappear — like a kitchen timer for your attention. No numbers counting down, no notifications pulling you back. Just time, visibly running out. THE ONE RULE Leave the app — or lock the screen — before the round ends, and the round is lost, instantly. That's the whole trick: Roundi doesn't block anything, it just makes leaving cost something. (Too strict? There's a Lenient mode.) MADE FOR YOUR RITUALS • Meditate — 15 quiet minutes, watching the color fade • Study — a 50-minute block with no pings • Work — deep work sessions up to 2 hours • Train — planks, dead hangs, rest between sets Save each ritual as a tag and it becomes a one-tap start button with its own duration. SAY IT, DON'T TAP IT "Start Plank in Roundi." Between rounds, Siri sets the length, starts a tag, adds another round, or tells you your streak. Hands free — and once a round starts, nothing interrupts you. ON YOUR WRIST Roundi runs on Apple Watch too. Turn the Digital Crown, tap START, and the color sweeps away on your wrist; a tap and a chime mark the end. Watch rounds land in your iPhone's calendar, Siri works on the watch, and one rule carries over: unlock your iPhone during a watch round and the round ends. A TIMER YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT Choose how time drains: a clockwise disc, a color that falls or rises across the whole screen, or a spiral coil that unwinds from the outside in. Six soft colors. A chime and a soft blink of color when the round completes. EVERY ROUND, KEPT Finished rounds land as dots on your calendar, with your daily total and streak. Time becomes habit; habit becomes you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your rounds stay on your device. Set a time. Stay focused. One round at a time.
