How It Works

1

Design Your Focus Session

Start by creating a customized focus session. Choose from proven techniques like Pomodoro (25-minute work, 5-minute break), 90-minute deep work cycles, or design your own. Set your focus duration, break intervals, and number of rounds. You can also specify what you'll be working on to link with tasks from your LifeOS task manager.

Eliminate Distractions

Before starting, configure your distraction shield. Block specific websites, applications, or notification types during your focus time. Our system can silence your phone, disable social media, and even send automatic "do not disturb" responses to messages. You can create different profiles for different types of work (coding, writing, studying, etc.).

Enter Deep Focus

Start your session and enter the focus zone. Our interface transforms to show only what's essential—your timer, current task, and optional focus-enhancing tools. Choose from background sounds like nature, ambient noise, or focus-optimized music. The interface visually adapts to minimize eye strain and maintain attention based on research-backed principles.

Review and Improve

After completing your session, record your focus quality, accomplishments, and any challenges. Our system analyzes your patterns over time—identifying your peak focus hours, optimal session duration, and factors that enhance or detract from your concentration. These insights help continuously refine your focus habits for maximum productivity.

"The focus feature has transformed my workday. I used to constantly switch between tasks, but now I consistently achieve 3-4 hours of deep work daily. The distraction blocking is a game-changer—especially the ability to create custom profiles for different types of design work."

"As someone with ADHD, maintaining focus has always been challenging. The focus analytics helped me discover that my optimal concentration time is early morning, and the 52/17 method works best for my dissertation writing. I've accomplished more in the past month than in the previous three."

For mobile devices, we integrate with iOS Focus and Android's Digital Wellbeing features.

Can I customize focus techniques?

Absolutely! While we offer several pre-configured techniques, you can fully customize your focus sessions.
