Focus Watch - Stay Focused

It is a good app, but under history every fortnight a day has been missed so it isnt accurate. Have contacted the help team but not received a response.. not fixed over many months

Since acquiring an Apple Watch I’ve been hunting around the App Store for a decent Pomodoro style productivity timer and cane across this wonderful little app, Focus Watch. It’s pretty much got it all, aside from the basic Pomodoro timer you also have tasks so you can manage what you do, customisable timer options (£1.99 Pro version), and most important to me - Apple Watch functionality. It’s great and pretty much exactly what I was looking for. But... it’s not perfect. The notifications are mostly reliable (I’d say 80-90%) but when the phone is in vibrate mode there’s nothing on the watch, not even the slightest haptic nudge. Not great if you’re working/studying in a quiet environment. But the biggest downer is that despite Watch functionality, there are no Watch face complications available so you can never see the current timer status on the watch without opening up the Watch app. The timer is also not visible on the phone’s lock screen either. So, to conclude, a great little productivity app, just needs more reliable notifications (including Watch Haptic when phone is silent) and Apple Watch face complications.

I would like to purchase the pro version of this app since is compatible with the watch, but none of the apps seem to allow for customization. It is common for people to vary time chunks ( for example 50 min, then 10 min break, then 30 min, then 10 min break, then 20 min, then 5 min break, etc) but none of the apps seem to have this as an option. Even in the pro version

Working good

I love this app, I use it for a writing sprints. When I use the app I put out more words per day with it than without it.

Keeps me on task and saves me time.

Cannot change timer duration for different tasks. Seems like a pretty basic option to include in app development, I mean come on?

This app has really helped me stay organized while I am working from home. It’s also helps me break tasks into smaller chunks which keeps me from getting overwhelmed.! I love the timing, as it keeps me focused! It’s been a game- changer for me!

Getting multiple notifications. Break mode doesn’t work. Reset counter button doesn’t work.

Believe it or not it has increased my study time. I put it in front of me and screen is alway on and when I see time is passing I don’t check my social media accounts. We usually waste a lot of time on never important stuff. When I record my study time it let me to see how wasteful my daily life is. It’s the 1st step to improvement. Enjoy learning. Dadmehr :)
