Publisher Description
Phocus is a simple time management app aimed at helping you be more productive throughout the day. Nowadays, it can be pretty hard to avoid distraction while you're trying to get stuff done, what with email and Twitter and lolcats just a click away. That's where Phocus comes in. It splits your workday into a series of timed work periods, each followed by a rest period. Knowing a break is just around the corner makes focusing on your current task a lot easier. With its prominent timer and color-coded progress bar, Phocus acts as a constant reminder, encouraging you to concentrate and letting you know when it's okay to goof around for a bit. WATCH A DEMO Check out a video demonstration of Phocus at http://phocusapp.com. FEATURES Large Countdown Timer Easily spot your remaining time. (Or hide the countdown if it's distracting you.) Color-Coded Progress Bar As you work, the bar fills up, shifting from red to green. During breaks (blue) and rewards (purple), it empties out. Repeat. Pick Your Pace It's easy to set the work, break, and reward durations to fit your specific needs. Enter Your Current Task It'll show up during work phases, silently nagging you to stop clockwatching. Track Your Performance Keep an eye on the running tallies for your completed and retried phases. Persistent Timer Leave with the timer counting down, and it'll update when you return. Local Notifications When it's closed, Phocus can still alert you to the end of a phase. Continuous Play Mode Allow the timer to automatically continue to the next phase in the background. Never Auto-Lock Prevent your device from falling asleep if you work with Phocus open nearby. Alarms, Sound Effects, and Ticking Sounds are nice, but they're optional. Toggle each independently to your liking. Meticulous Design Every carefully-thought-out pixel really shines, especially on the Retina Display.
