Be Focused
What Be Focused is
Be Focused organizes individual tasks into work intervals separated by short breaks. Users can manage tasks, paste lists from other apps, set work and break durations, and define daily interval targets or how many intervals precede a longer break. On Mac, the timer can start, pause, or skip intervals, with an option to start the next timer automatically. Progress can be reviewed by day, week, or a custom period and exported as a CSV file. The Mac version also offers global hotkeys, alarm sounds, optional ticking, and launch-at-startup. Be Focused supports synchronization among iPhone, iPad, and Mac, but separate Pro versions are required for Mac and iOS sync. The Yearly Pro listing includes a 7-day trial. Task data is stored on the maker’s servers for sync, with data stored and processed in the United States.
