Can I log a focus session afterward if I forgot to start the timer?
Forgot to start the timer? Log or fix a session afterward.

Sometimes you focus without starting the timer, or you need to correct a logged session. You can do both in Activity.
To add a missing session, open Activity, choose the day, tap the session overview to open the Session Timeline, then tap the plus button and pick the task to credit the time to. New sessions can't overlap existing ones.
To change a session, open that day's Session Timeline, tap the more button (…), and choose Edit — you can adjust the start and end times or change the task. To remove one, tap the more button and choose Delete.
A quick fix keeps your focus record accurate.
Deleting a session
Sometimes a session shouldn't be in the record at all — a test run, or a timer that kept going long after you'd stopped. Removing it takes a moment.
- Open Activity and go to the day in question.
- Tap the session overview to open the Session Timeline.
- Tap the more button (…) on the session and choose Delete.
One thing worth knowing: sessions can't overlap. If a new session won't save, check whether it crosses an existing session or break — nudging the start or end time by a few minutes is usually all it takes.
