Engross
What Engross is
Engross combines a focus timer, to-do list, planner and analytics for organizing work or study and reducing distractions. Its customizable Pomodoro timer and stopwatch can start from a task or calendar entry, with custom intervals available. A distraction button is intended to bring attention back to the present. Tasks support subtasks, progress tracking, recurring schedules and reminders up to 24 hours ahead. The calendar handles recurring events, and charts show focus trends and session history. The Google Play listing says Engross can automatically block distracting apps when a timer starts. The app is available on Android, iOS and macOS, with a free plan and an Engross Premium in-app purchase listed at $5.99, paid once; the App Store listing does not specify a billing period. The privacy policy says registered users’ email addresses and app data backups are collected, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
