A Happier, Healthier, and Productive Workday

Focus lets you break down your work time into smaller chunks called Focus Sessions. Working in sessions helps you to stay focused and on task and get some meaningful work done. Focus also encourages you to take regular breaks between your sessions which is particularly helpful to maintain your energy, reduce stress, and keep your focus throughout the day.

Elegantly Manage Your Tasks

The clean to-do lists support you in tackling one task at a time and make it easier to stay on task. You can organize your tasks by due date, add time budgets, and keep a track of your work time.

Review Your Daily, Weekly & Monthly Progress

The Activity offers you valuable insights about your productivity. It lets you review your progress for each day, and keeps you motivated to accomplish your tasks.

 
 

Who Is This App For?

Focus is a useful companion for all knowledge workers who want to overcome procrastination and build a routine of staying focused, for example:

  • freelancers

  • writers

  • coaches

  • developers

  • academics

  • students

People diagnosed with ADHD find Focus to be especially beneficial because it allows them to break down tasks into manageable chunks, which can make them feel less overwhelming.

Upcoming: What's new in Focus 2024.2?

Focus will be available as a native app on Apple Vision Pro from day one, making it accessible on five platforms!

We believe productivity is a key use case for Apple Vision Pro, and Focus is the perfect companion for your productivity workflows.

 
 
 
 
 

For this release, we'r bringing all the powerful Pomodoro time management features to Apple Vision Pro with a native app design that adapts seamlessly into the new design language of Apple Vision Pro.

Our favorite feature is the minimalistic Focus timer window that you can detach from the main app. You can arrange one or multiple Focus timer windows anywhere on your canvas, scale the timer window to your preferred size, and keep an eye on the timer while getting some deep work done!

Focus for Apple Vision Pro will be free for the first year as we explore and experiment with this new platform and the opportunities it offers for personal productivity.

Focus for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac is available with an annual subscription of $39.99, and includes a 7-day free trial.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Who makes Focus?

Focus is made by Meaningful Things, an indie team from Germany. We've been crafting productivity apps for iOS and Mac for 10 years now. Our apps help people find more focus, get less distracted by screens, and use technology for the better.

Focus has started as a side project born out of our founders Jan's own need to find focus and soon became an essential productivity companion for many people. With the help of our customer's amazing feedback, we've continuously enhanced the app over the years.

Our customers especially love the fact that Focus is a modern app, available on all Apple platforms, and always built for the latest. Moreover, they love the simplistic look and rich feature set.

The App Store has allowed us to grow our team from a one-man show to a small and dedicated team of 4 people, and features in the App Store and Mac App Store has helped Focus to be discovered by more and more people across the world. It has since seen more than 1.5 million downloads worldwide.

Focus will stay exclusively and natively made for the Apple ecosystem and we are very excited to ship the next features that will help people to stay focused and on track!
