-
Is Minutes to Focus free?
Yes, Minutes to Focus is free to download and use from the App Store.
-
Can I use custom timer durations?
The app offers three fixed durations: 8, 16 and 24 minutes. These were designed to encourage short, intentional focus blocks rather than open-ended timers.
-
What are the animation styles?
There are four: Snake with Clock (an animated snake traces the clock progress), Wavy (a fluid wave fills the screen), Mosaic (a grid pattern fills tile by tile), and Dot Grid (dots progressively fill a grid). Each style has a different visual feel.
-
Does the timer continue when I leave the app?
Yes. The timer runs in the background. Your session is counted as completed even if you switch apps during a session.
-
Where is my session history stored?
Session data is stored locally on your device. It is not uploaded to the cloud. The home screen widget reads from the same local storage.
-
What iOS version is required?
Minutes to Focus requires iOS 16.1 or later. Home screen widgets and Live Activity features require iOS 16.1 or later.
