Interface
Menu Bar
The Focusmo status-bar icon — planning popover, context menu, and update status.
Focusmo lives in your menu bar as a small target icon (it adapts to light/dark mode).
Clicks
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Left-click (Productivity Mode) | Opens the planning popover — timeline + task list |
| Left-click / drag (Zen Mode) | Drag on the icon to set a session duration with the gesture control |
| Right-click or Ctrl+click | Opens the context menu |
The context menu
- Trial: N days left — while your Pro trial runs; click it to see the plans
- Quick Access — opens the command palette
- Show Main Window (⇧⌘M)
- Insights — jumps to Insights (today's focus and the activity timeline)

Free users also see license entries (Start Free Trial when one is available, Purchase License, Activate License). In Zen Mode the menu is minimal, with "Switch to Productivity Mode" on top.
Update status
Focusmo's silent auto-updater surfaces its state right in the menu:
- A live status line: Checking for Updates… → Update Available → Downloading → Update Ready.
- Install vX and Relaunch when ready — during an active session it's disabled and reads "Install after session" so an update never interrupts your focus.
- A badge dot on the menu bar icon: orange while downloading, green when ready to install.
- After updating, the menu briefly shows "Updated to vX.Y" to confirm.
- Check for Updates is always available.
Menu bar extras
- With calendar integration, the status bar can show your next event with a live countdown.
- The Menu Bar countdown style puts your session timer itself into the menu bar.
