NEW: Add & Edit Focus Sessions

Manually add and edit Focus sessions in the Activity tab and keep better track of your productivity!

Starting with iOS 16 & macOS Ventura, here is what you can do in Focus:

Add additional Focus sessions: Did you forget to start the Focus timer at the beginning of the workday? No worries! You can now manually add a Focus session in Activity.

Edit logged Focus sessions: Do you want to set a different active task for a Focus session? Or edit the start or end time? You can now do this in the Session Timeline.

Delete Focus sessions: Did you start a session by accident? You can now delete Focus sessions so that your activity data more accurately reflects your productivity.

We hope that this feature will make productivity tracking with Focus even more useful! Let us know what you think via
