Focus
Your personal timer workspace, pick a task, start a focused block, and let everything else fade away.
1What Focus is for
You sit down to work, and twenty minutes later you're scrolling. Focus fixes exactly that, a protected block of time with just you, one task, and a calm timer keeping your pace.
It runs on a Pomodoro-inspired rhythm: a focused block, a short break, repeat, with a longer break after a few rounds. Link a session to a task and FocusPace tracks the real focus time that went into it, so you see momentum, not just checkmarks.
Link a session to “Revise chapter 3” and after a week you might see “2h 15m of focus time” on it, far more telling than a ticked box.
2How to start a session
Starting a session takes a few taps.
- Open Focus from the bottom navigation bar.
- Tap to pick the task you're working on (optional, but worth it).
- Hit the big play button, the ring counts down your block.
Pick a task first and the timer shows “Working on: [your task]”, so you always know what the session is for. The controls sit under the timer: reset on the left, play/pause in the middle, skip on the right.
3Settings you can adjust
Tap the sliders icon in the top-right to shape your rhythm. Change the focus length, set your break lengths, and choose how many rounds happen before a long break.
Turn on auto-start and the next segment begins on its own. Sound controls let you play calm background audio, or just a gentle chime at the end of a block, kept separate, so you can have one without the other.
If 25 minutes feels long, set focus to 15, leave auto-start off, and run a single block to ease in.
4Get the most out of it
Start small, one 15-minute block beats an hour of distracted multitasking. Always link a task so your time turns into real data. And don't skip the breaks; your brain consolidates what it just learned during those pauses.
A task bigger than one block? Totally fine, the focus time still adds up, and watching the minutes stack feels better than staring at an unchecked box.
