Focusly - Pomodoro & Task

Honed turns focus sessions into a beautiful, immersive ritual. With 25 handcrafted timer animations, an ambient sound engine, and an analytics dashboard that rivals fitness apps — this is not your typical Pomodoro timer. And it's completely free. No subscriptions. No paywalls.
Whether you're deep in a study session, grinding through work, or just trying to stop scrolling and start doing — Honed gives you the structure and the atmosphere to stay locked in.
BEAUTIFUL TIMER ANIMATIONS
Choose from 25 hand-built animation styles across 7 categories: rings, liquid fills, nature, geometry, particles, ambient, and gamified. Every animation is crafted in SwiftUI, not stock assets. Classic Clock Ring, Aurora Borealis, Growing Tree, Lava Lamp, Pixel Art — find the one that keeps you in the zone.
FOCUS ZONE
Enter a full-screen, distraction-free experience. The interface fades away, your chosen timer animation takes center stage, and idle dimming is disabled. Tap to reveal controls, extend your session, or skip a break. This is what deep work looks like.
CUSTOM SOUND ENGINE
50+ synthesized ticker and completion sounds — not audio files, but real-time generated tones using waveform synthesis. Pick from mechanical, nature, water, digital, percussive, and musical categories. Set different sounds for focus and break phases.
TASK MANAGEMENT WITH RICH FORMATTING
Create tasks with bold, italic, and highlighted titles using an in-app formatting toolbar. Set priorities, due dates, and reminders. Organize into folders with custom icons. Track focus time per task. Pin important ones to the top. Estimated pomodoros let you plan your day realistically.
STATS THAT ACTUALLY TELL YOU SOMETHING
15+ chart sections built with Swift Charts: activity heatmap, peak productivity hours, day-of-week breakdown, estimation accuracy, task aging, break compliance, focus efficiency trends, folder insights, completion speed, and period comparisons. Filter by 7, 30, 90 days, or all time.
THEMES THAT FEEL LIKE YOUR OWN
Four theme styles: Professional, Classic, Gradient, and Artistic. The Artistic theme connects to Unsplash, letting you search and set stunning photo backgrounds with filters for color and orientation. Save favorites. Dark and Light mode adapt automatically.
LIVE ACTIVITY & WIDGETS
See your timer countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Choose from 10+ Home Screen widgets and 4 Lock Screen widgets — including dashboard, streak flame, due today, weekly focus, and pomodoro counter. Control Center buttons let you start Focus Zone or Quick Focus instantly.
DAILY SUMMARIES
Morning and evening summary notifications tell you what's ahead and what you accomplished. Actionable buttons let you jump into a focus session or view your summary directly from the notification.
DEEP SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Siri Shortcuts, App Intents, deep links, Home Screen quick actions, keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac, haptic feedback, and iCloud sync across all your devices.
