Detailed information about Focusmo releases and updates
Zen Mode and Full Pomodoro Cycles
What's New
✨ New Features
- Zen Mode: A radically minimal focus experience for distraction-free deep work:

-
Minimal Timer Display: Shows only the countdown — no task names, no clutter. Just you and your timer.
-
Drag Gesture Duration Control: Drag on the floating timer to adjust session length. A visual overlay shows your selected duration in real-time.
-
Haptic Feedback: Feel tactile confirmation with every adjustment. Toggle in Preferences → Focus Mode.
-
Hidden Gamification: All badges, streaks, celebrations, and notifications are suppressed. Nothing competes for your attention.
-
Simplified Navigation: The icon strip disappears. The menu bar shows a minimal context menu with just the essentials.
-
Easy Mode Switching: Toggle between Zen Mode and Productivity Mode from the menu bar or Settings → General. Can't switch during active sessions — your focus is protected.
-
Full Pomodoro Cycles: Complete work → break → work → long break automation. Set your intervals and let the timer guide you through the entire cycle.
🎨 Improvements
- Haptic Feedback System: Tactile responses throughout timer interactions for a more physical, grounded experience.
- Refined Command Palette: Now requires Cmd+Enter to start a task immediately. Enter adds the task to your list.
