Very useful
Simple to use. Would be great to be able to import tasks from task managers e.g. from Things from Cultured Code
Description
Staying on task seems is a real challenge for our screen-bound generation. The Be Focused lets you get things done by breaking up individual tasks among discrete intervals, separated by short breaks. It’s a surprisingly effective way to retain motivation and focus. Create tasks, configure breaks and track your progress throughout the day, week or custom period. Use either your iPhone, iPad or Mac – your devices always stay in sync.
Key features:
- Start, pause, or skip intervals
- Auto-start the next timer (option)
- Customize the timer settings to maximize productivity:
• Work interval duration
• Short break duration
• Long break duration
• Number of intervals between long breaks
• Target number of intervals per day
- Manage your tasks
- Specify different timer settings for different tasks
- Add notes, tags and due dates to tasks
- Use filters by tags and due dates to keep focussed on the most important tasks
- Estimate the number of intervals required to complete a task and track the estimation error
- View and manage completed intervals
- Export data to a CSV file
- Customize reports for fast and easy goal tracking
- Ability to paste a task list from other apps
- Optional chronometer ticking sound
- Customizable frequency of the chronometer sound
- Wide range of alarm sounds
- Ability to adjust alarm and chronometer volumes
- Alarms sound even if the app is in the background
- Interactive notifications
- Live activities for Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
- Widgets for Lock Screen and Home Screen
- Apple Watch support
- One universal app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch

10/10 app
This app has changed the way I study - I can now see when in the day I do the most work, I can track my hours across my devices, and the reports section is just fantastic. Thank you so much!
Nice and simple
Works well, only drawback is you can’t defer when you start the initial timer so if you want to run focus times from the top of the hour to run alongside your work day you need to be there at the top of the first hour to start it.
Essential iPhone pomodoro tool
This is the best pomodoro tool I have tried so far. I had already tested about 10 paid tools and this is one is the best of alll in terms of easy to custom and you can sync with different iPhones with your same Apple ID.
Great tool
Simple and valuable.
Great to keep my ADHD brain motivated and on track
Have been using this app for a while now and I notice such a great difference in productivity when I use the app vs when I don’t. It’s easy to use, and love the clean design.
BeFocused on fiddling with this damn app! ROOKIE FAIL HERE
As a standard alone pomodoro app, this is good and well designed. If you don't need to sync across devices, you'll be ok with this one. But syncing? Forget it. It's 2023 so why this isn't an app priority, but instead users are treated with disdain and contempt, is beyond me. Some hipster nerd had a latte epiphany and then found the back end of app design was actual hard WORK. Other apps manage it: learn what they do. If you need to sync for productivity, run don't walk. NB: a further annoyance. You cannot vary the length of pomodoro by task. I want 40 min durations for reading, 20 for writing, and 5 for mini tasks, but I have to change it manually every time. Very irritating. If these things were sorted I'd be happy to pay a reasonable price for the upgrade. A reasonable price, that is.
Almost perfect
The simplicity of this app has made such a difference for an ADHD brain that has trouble with overwhelm and time blindness. Even better would be if it was possible to select a group of tasks at the same time, so you could clear the number of intervals completed and move them all from done to undone at the same time. I have daily action lists that take an age to reset. Also a very brief / visual instruction guide to using it that stays on the app that you can refer to - I didn’t process the original instructions that disappeared quickly enough and other really useful things I didn’t realise until after I’d been using it for a month. But overall, super helpful and I use it every day.
Helpful to track time for projects
Helps track my time as a consultant.
