Focus mode

One block, full screen, a live countdown — and four honest buttons for what happens when time runs out.

Last updated July 31, 2026

01

Enter focus

Tap Focus on the execution strip and the screen reduces to one thing: the current block, its planned window, and a live countdown. When the clock passes the plan, the counter flips to how far over you are — the truth, updating by the second.

02

The four buttons

For a scheduled task, focus mode offers exactly the choices that matter:

  • Done — completes the task and records how long it really took, which sharpens future planning.
  • +15 min — extend, knowingly shifting what follows.
  • Tomorrow — push it whole to tomorrow.
  • Skip — unschedule it and move on.

03

Calendar events ride out

If the current block is a fixed calendar event — a meeting, an appointment — focus mode simply keeps the clock: this is on your calendar, ride it out. Between blocks it tells you you’re open until the next one, and at day’s end, that you’re done.
