Focus launch

3 · 2 · 1 · Focus.

Every Focus session begins with a full-screen blur overlay. Large ultra-light numerals cross-fade with a spring animation. "Focus." holds for a moment — then the overlay fades away and your timer silently begins.

Covers all displays — immersive transition
Blur backdrop preserves ambient context

Focus.
Ambient awareness

The glow that keeps you honest.

While you're focused, a warm amber light breathes softly at the edges of your screen. It's not a notification. It's not a pop-up. It's just a quiet reminder that time is passing — and you're using it well.

Peripheral signal — doesn't interrupt foveal vision
Pulse rate: slow 2.2s breath — relaxing, not urgent
Disappears the instant your focus session ends
Focus Active

Rhythm feature

Surface for 3 seconds. Disappear.

Enable Remind and set an interval. When time hits your mark, the widget glides open just long enough for you to see the clock — then slides back into its dot and leaves you alone.

Configurable: every 1 to 60 minutes
Spring-animated expand → 3 s dwell → spring collapse
Works without hover — fires automatically
Every 5 min →

Designed to disappear
when you don't need it.

Every dimension, color, and weight in TimeFo is chosen to feel invisible during work and effortlessly legible on glance. No gradients for the sake of gradients. No color where silence is better.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Does TimeFo block notifications or apps?
No. TimeFo does not suppress notifications or interfere with any system feature. Instead, it signals focus through an ambient screen glow — a visual cue that respects your workflow without requiring any special permissions.
Will the timer widget cover my content?
No. TimeFo uses a non-activating NSPanel that floats above windows without stealing keyboard focus or blocking input. When collapsed to its dot state, it occupies roughly 10×10pt at the screen edge — imperceptible during work.
Does it run on Apple Silicon?
Yes — TimeFo is compiled as a Universal Binary targeting both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. It runs natively on both architectures with no Rosetta translation layer.
What macOS versions are supported?
TimeFo requires macOS 13.0 Ventura or newer. It is tested on macOS 13, 14 (Sonoma), and 15 (Sequoia). The App Store handles updates automatically.
Can I move the widget to a different screen edge?
Yes. Simply drag the expanded pill to any position on screen. When you release, TimeFo detects the nearest edge and snaps to it with a smooth spring animation. Your chosen position is remembered between sessions.
Does TimeFo send any data externally?
None. TimeFo is fully sandboxed and contains zero analytics, telemetry, or network calls. Every preference is stored locally on your Mac. No account required.
