KeepFocus

KeepFocus is a handy app that hangs out in your status bar, making it super easy to organize tasks for different projects. It uses the Pomodoro technique, which breaks work into short bursts of focus with little breaks in between. This way, you can stay on top of everything without burning out.

Organize Your Tasks Easily

The goal of the KeepFocus app is simple: help you track all your tasks and boost your productivity. You can create as many projects as you want right in the KeepFocus status bar panel. Each project can have its own set of tasks, and you can even tag them by whether they’re for home, school, or work.

Stay on Track with Task Management

Your tasks are organized in a neat hierarchy. By default, KeepFocus gives each task a 25-minute timer to get it done. Don't worry if that doesn’t fit your style; you can easily change how long you want for each task or mark them as finished whenever you're done.

The Power of Breaks

Breaking up your work time into chunks followed by short breaks really helps improve focus and productivity. KeepFocus makes this easy! After working for 25 minutes, it reminds you to take a 5-minute break. And after an hour? You get a nice long 25-minute pause!

Customize Your Workflow

You can tweak these timers through the KeepFocus Preferences window, so they fit your personal workflow like a glove.

A Streamlined Solution for Task Tracking

In short, KeepFocus is a great tool for keeping tabs on all your project tasks while breaking down your work into manageable pieces. You get to set timers that match those Pomodoro breaks, but don’t worry—KeepFocus runs separate timers so you can pause whenever needed.

A Few Limitations to Note

Just keep in mind that KeepFocus doesn’t sync across devices and there’s no option to back up or export your data. So if keeping historical logs is important to you, this might not be the best fit.
