Focus ​

Your Mac. Your rhythm.

Focus is a pomodoro timer in the notch.

  • Phases: focus and break, with durations you choose.
  • Start and pause in one click from Home or the Focus section. A paused session stays in the notch so you can pick it up.
  • While it runs, the island's rim becomes a curved progress meter.
  • When a phase ends, a chime plays and the island blooms; on Home, the smile celebrates.
  • Do not disturb quiets the island while you focus.
  • Daily stats show how much you focused today.

From a script or Shortcuts, cortexshelf://focus/start, pause, toggle, skip and reset control it (see Automation).
