What is Focus - Deep Work Timer?

Focus is a Pomodoro-style timer with built-in task and project lists for Apple devices, made by Meaningful Things, a two-person studio in Tübingen, Germany. You pick a task, run a timed session, take a break and review the day's activity in charts and a session timeline. It is free to download, a Focus Pro subscription unlocks the rest, and data syncs through the user's own iCloud.

Focus - Deep Work Timer has a free plan. Paid plans start at $6.99 / month, or $39.99 / year (US App Store). See every plan

Good for

  • Apple users who want a timer and a task list in one app
  • People who like to review focused time by task in charts
  • Mac users who want the timer in the menu bar
  • Those who prefer data kept in their own iCloud with no ads

Worth knowing

  • Apple platforms only: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro. No Windows, Android or web version is listed.
  • The vendor does not publish which features need Focus Pro, and its FAQ sends buyers to the App Store for prices.
  • The App Store shows yearly items from $19.99 to $49.99, so the price offered in the app may differ from the $39.99 listed first.
  • Focus for Mac is a separate App Store listing from the iPhone and iPad app. It needs macOS 14.0 or later, and the iPhone app iOS 18.0.

Key features

Timed focus sessions
Sessions and breaks follow the Pomodoro rhythm, with lengths you set yourself. When a session ends, the app shows a full-screen alarm on iOS 26 and a notification elsewhere.
Tasks and projects
Tasks are collected in the app and grouped into projects. You pick one before starting a session, so each session is logged against the task it was spent on.
Statistics and session timeline
Pie and bar charts break focused time down by task, with calendar views and day, week, month and year ranges. Sessions in the timeline can be added, edited or deleted afterwards.
Goals
A daily time goal or a session goal sets a target for the day, and a compact overview compares focused time with last week or last month.
Mac menu bar timer
Focus for Mac keeps the timer in the menu bar, offers notification styles from subtle to full-screen, and supports desktop widgets on macOS Sonoma or later.
Sync across Apple devices
Tasks, the timer and statistics sync through iCloud between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro, with widgets, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts support.
