Frequently asked

๐Ÿ…

Where's the app after launch?

Focusin lives in the menu bar, not the Dock. Look for the pie-clock icon next to your clock at the top-right of the screen.

โ–ถ๏ธ

How do I start a session?

Click the menu-bar icon to open the glass clock, drag the knob to set a length, and press play. It rings when the session ends and rolls into a break.

๐Ÿ”“

Restore a purchase

Open the Pro screen and choose "Restore Purchases." Your Pro unlock or lifetime purchase follows your Apple Account across devices.

๐Ÿ“…

Calendar not logging?

Turn on "Sync to Calendar" in Settings and grant Calendar access when macOS prompts, then choose which calendar to write completed sessions to.

โ˜๏ธ

Sync across devices

Sign in to the same iCloud account on each device and keep "Sync Across Devices (iCloud)" on. Sync is a Pro feature; Focusin Lite is local-only.

๐Ÿงพ

Manage or cancel a subscription

Subscriptions are handled by Apple. On Mac: System Settings โ†’ your name โ†’ Media & Purchases โ†’ Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal.

Focusin Lite vs Pro

Focusin Lite is free and includes the timer, task history, and calendar logging. Focusin Pro adds iCloud sync and statistics (weekly charts and the monthly heat map).

๐Ÿ”Š

Turn sounds on or off

Open Settings from the gear button and toggle the windup, ticking, and ringing sounds independently.

Your privacy

Focusin stays out of your way โ€” including out of your data.

Focusin does not collect, sell, or share your personal information. Your tasks, session history, statistics, and settings stay on your device.

If you turn on iCloud sync, your data is stored in your own private iCloud account and synced by Apple across your devices โ€” we never see it. If you turn on calendar logging, completed sessions are written only to a calendar you choose. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple, so we never receive your payment details.
