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. Working with a timer and receiving notifications can further help structure the workday and establish a good work-break rhythm.

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!
