Focus
Start a focus session to give one task your full attention. Choose how long you want to focus, add a background sound if it helps, and make progress one focused moment at a time.
Start a focus session
- On the Promise tab, tap the target icon at the top of the screen.
- Choose a duration, then tap Start Focus.
Add a background sound
- Tap the disc icon in the top-right corner.
- Choose a sound, then tap Save.
End a session early
Press and hold Hold to stop Focus until the progress indicator fills.
Keep the screen on while you focus
Go to Me → Settings and turn on Keep screen awake. Your screen stays on while the focus timer is running and its screen is open. See Settings.
Good to know
- Starting a focus session doesn't block apps or websites automatically. To keep distractions out of the way while you focus, set up a blocking schedule.
- Finishing a focus session doesn't mark a Promise as complete. To mark one complete, tap its checkmark on the Promise tab.
