Hey everyone! I'm super excited to share my productivity app with all of you, with the hope that it encourages you to get more productive work done every day, as it has for me. 🙂 📱 What is it? Focused Work is an app for iPhone and iPad that helps you break up tasks and add structure to your day, to get more things done. It encourages you to focus and take breaks, to stay fresh and productive. Here's a quick rundown of its best features: - Create focus session timers for your tasks, with focused work, planning, and break stages - Define your focus before each session - Distraction alerts, that remind you to stay focused & take breaks - Daily productivity goals, that help you build momentum and a streak - Productivity reflection, that helps you highlight your good & bad habits - Toggl integration with project/tag support - iCloud Syncing, to switch between iPhone & iPad based on the task 🤔 Why I made it? It started as an idea to replace a rudimentary Pomodoro chatbot a few mates and I were using. Although it gave us complete flexibility with customising timers based on the task, entering commands all the time became tiresome. I felt there was a better way to scratch this itch, and decided to create an app offering that same level of flexibility, with a first-class iOS/iPadOS experience. ➡️ What's next? After a successful beta testing period with encouraging feedback, it's great to already see Focused Work being used for a variety of daily tasks. I'm looking forward to adding Shortcuts and macOS support soon! This is also the first big project I've launched entirely on my own! Happy to answer any questions you may have. 😀

Loved the App. Michael Tigas How are you planning to market your app? I mean apart from the App store.

I’ve used the beta, and I would highly recommend this app to anyone willing to increase their productivity while working/studying 💯

This is a very well-made app! In particular, I really find value in the focus session feature, which lets you plan multiple chunks work at once, which is something I haven't personally seen before from apps in this category. It's really useful for getting into a flow state!

Fantastic tool for helping you focus, really well built and highly customisable.

I've been finding it harder and harder to focus on work during quarantine and this app has been a huge help for reclaiming my "heads down" time. Great work!

So simple to use! My job requires me to focus on multiple fields. (Marketing, customer service and sales) and I find myself really losing focus on my tasks. Especially because I juggle so much and therefore fall behind. This app has helped me be more productive and time block different tasks. The reminders also help me stay on track, as I’m a hardcore procrastinator who thinks she can do a million things at once. (Spoiler, I cant) Thanks for the simple solution!

I’ve been beta testing this app for a few weeks now and it has really helped boost my productivity. The timer for each stage allows me to keep track of the time I need to spend on a particular task and also ensure I don’t do unnecessary stuff. Great work Michael! ❤️

Good idea for those of us who have hit a lull working at home, and need to get into a routine again.

It's a great app however there's one problem I have with most of the app's for tracking focused time. When I pause a break or a work period, because of some disruption then it's easy to forget to turn it back on. Is there a way to fast forward or skip such period? In particular I was using the pomodoro template.

Focused Work v1.1 is live on the App Store, with iOS 14 Widget support! 🚀🎉 👉 Live focus session timers on your home screen 👉 Quickly start a favourite focus session 👉 See your productivity goal progress for today I shared some insight earlier in the week why these widgets were added to Focused Work, and a quick preview video! https://twitter.com/michael_tiga... Enjoy 😀

This is a productivity app that I was so hooked on and I was involved in the beta test from the beginning. I just love this app so much and I already had hundreds of sessions from this app. This app was useful from the start, and it continued to improve throughout the best testing period, so can you imagine how good this app is when V1.0 released? I can't explain in words how useful this app was for me. I have long hours at work and work is gruesome, but I think the main reason why I was burnt out was because of how I worked. This app has corrected my work habit. It prevents me from working a few hours straight by managing my work time to smaller chunks and giving me refreshing breaks in between. As a result of using this app, I am more productive and not burned out. This has been a trend for me recently and I can't thank this app and Mike enough. Download this! You won't regret it!

I've used Focused Work for a while now (beta tester) and it really helps me to balance my work-break balance, as I tend to make too little rests while working on a task. Also the feeling of starting the timer and selecting my focus each time brings me really into the zone of getting things done.

A wonderful productivity tool that keeps you focus and clear in getting your work done!

Good luck @teeeeeegz

FocusedWork app is really helping me managing large tasks at work as a subset of small, time-boxed tasks. Simplicity and speed of setting up work sessions is the key that makes this app work great for me. I will definitely advise FocusedWork for use whenever there's a need to keep focus and concentrate, especially when there are tight deadlines. I am really looking forward to the macOS version of the app!

I have been using the beta and I will highly recommend this app to anyone looking to do focused work. Simple pomodoro timers are simply not nuanced enough for most workflows. Focused Work is extremely simple and very powerful. Lots of value here.

A while ago I had a productivity timer sized hole in my digital toolbox that I couldn't find a good app for. I actually decided to make my own and got far enough to build a very simple prototype. Then I somehow discovered Focused Work on Twitter and I've never been happier (or quicker) to drop a side project 😄 I've been a beta tester for a while an I'm very excited for both the launch as well as what's coming up next in the pipeline. Good luck @teeeeeegz

Had the chance to test the app during the beta phase. It's well crafted, beautiful and functional. I highly recommend it if you want to boost your productivity. Waiting for the mac app Michael 😉
