# 🔥 Focus time

> Track time while you work on tasks

## Start focusing

Head to the **Focus** tab and tap **Start Focus**. A quick 3-2-1
countdown, and you're in.

## During a session

The session screen keeps everything within a thumb's reach:

* A progress ring and a big timer for the current task
* Controls to go **back**, **pause**, **complete**, or **skip ahead**
* Tap anywhere to pause, tap again to resume
* **End** stops the session, with a confirmation first

Leave the app and your session follows you: it stays live in the
[Dynamic Island](/ios/dynamic-island) and on your
[widgets](/ios/widgets).

If you paused a task earlier, its banked time shows as **Previously**,
so nothing you've done is lost.

## Finishing up

When you end a session, you'll see your total focus time, plus any
achievement badges you've earned along the way. Yes, there are
badges. Yes, they're worth chasing.

## Why is this useful?

Tracking productivity is a great way to stay motivated, but manually
tracking it is tedious.

With focus time, you measure your productivity as you work. It powers
your [daily goal](/ios/daily-goal) and gives
[Wrap Day](/ios/wrap-day) something real to show you.

<Info>
  Focus sessions need **Forget Pro**.
