Focus Round

A quiet focus and break timer that lives in the Mac menu bar and on iPhone. Start a focus session and let the countdown keep track of the rest.

---

One screen, one decision

Start a 25-minute focus session in one tap. Pause, resume, reset or skip when you need to.

After each completed focus session, Focus Round prepares a short break. Every fourth completed session is followed by a longer break.

Durations and automatic starts are optional settings. Changing a duration does not alter a timer that is already running.

Made for the background

The timer uses an end time rather than counting only while the screen is awake. When you return after locking your phone, switching apps or waking your Mac, the remaining time is recalculated from that stored end time.

Allow notifications if you want a quiet signal when a timer ends. Focus Round asks only after you start your first session. You can still use the timer if you decline.

On iPhone and iPad, a Live Activity shows the active countdown on the Lock Screen. Compatible iPhone models also show it in the Dynamic Island. A paused timer stays visible, and a completed timer changes from blue to green.

On the Mac

The compact window and menu-bar timer share the same countdown. Start in one place and pause in the other.

Closing the window leaves the menu-bar timer running. Press Space in the window to start, pause or resume.

Your focus stays yours

There is no advertising or analytics. Settings, the active timer and completed focus history are stored locally on the device.

Requirements

iPhone or iPad running iOS 18 or later, or a Mac running macOS 15 or later.
