Your First Session

First launch

On first run, FocusMo walks you through a short setup:

1. Welcome & goals — tell FocusMo what brings you here (skippable); this personalizes the setup.
2. Your task manager — FocusMo works alongside Things, Reminders, Todoist, Notion, and friends — you don't have to migrate anything.
3. Setup steps — grant the Accessibility permission, choose your focus shortcut (default ⌃⌘S), and try it on some selected text.
4. Check-ins & activity tracking — optional extras you can enable now or later.
5. Trial — a 7-day Pro trial starts automatically so you see the whole app.

When you finish, FocusMo opens the main window and starts your first 25-minute focus session — the best way to understand the app is to feel one session end to end.

The basic loop

1. Add a task — press c in the task list or use the command palette (⌃⌘T). Type something like Write report 45m.
2. Start — press ⌘Enter in the palette, or hit the play button.
3. Work — the floating timer counts down; distractions get blocked if your task has a Project.
4. Finish — the celebration screen appears; jot down what you accomplished.
5. Review — check the Activity dashboard at the end of the day.

After onboarding

• The Get Started button (graduation cap) in the sidebar reopens a guided tour of deeper features — the always-on display, logging, Focus Mode, and your first Project.
• Turn on Launch at login (Settings → General) so FocusMo is always ready.
