Focus for Mac
Your focus timer and your tasks, native on the Mac. Focus is built on the Pomodoro technique — a proven rhythm of short, focused work sessions and real breaks that helps you concentrate better, stay on task, and do your best work.
Focus for Mac brings that rhythm to your desk: a clean, minimalist timer, your to-dos, and your progress — right where your deep work happens.

A Timer in Your Menu Bar
Focus sits quietly in your menu bar, so your timer is always just a glance away. The lightweight menu bar app gives you quick access and interactions without pulling you out of what you're working on.
From Subtle Nudges to Full-Screen Alerts
The timer adapts to you. Set custom durations, personalize the app's layout and content, and choose from different notification styles — from subtle nudges to prominent full-screen alerts. When a session ends, you'll notice — as gently or as clearly as you like.
Widgets on Your Desktop
On macOS Sonoma or later, Focus widgets can sit right on your desktop, keeping your timer and your progress in view while you work.
Tasks & Time Tracking
Add tasks effortlessly and track your progress for each to-do. Focusing on one task at a time helps you stay on track — and detailed productivity statistics show your focused work time and your daily Focus goals, so it's rewarding to watch your progress over time.
In Sync with iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch
With iCloud sync, you can start a focused work session on your iPhone, continue on your Mac, and take a break on your Apple Watch. Your timer, tasks, and stats stay seamlessly in sync across all your devices.
Works with Shortcuts
Focus supports the Shortcuts app, so your sessions can fit into the routines you already use on your Mac.
Its Own App on the Mac App Store
Focus for Mac is its own listing on the Mac App Store, separate from Focus for iPhone and iPad. Once both are installed, iCloud keeps them in sync.
