## Description

Get more DEEP WORK done. FocusList is your one app to plan the day and be more productive using 25 minutes intervals, timeboxing and retrospective.

Here's how:

Plan: Start the day by planning your activities throughout the day. Give each task an estimate. Plan your entire day, and try to get everything on your list done.

Focus: Go through your tasks in 30 minute blocks. (25 minutes work + 5 minutes break). It helps you focus by separating work time and rest time.

Retrospect: With stats, you can go back in time and see how good your estimates were, how much time you've spent on each task, and when is your best time in the day to get work done.

## Review summary

Overall, FocusList is praised for its clean design, focus benefits, and seamless cross-device sync. Users appreciate the Pomodoro timer paired with task checklists that keep them organized across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. However, there are recurring issues: timer durations feel inflexible, and scheduling for future or recurring tasks is missing. The Apple Watch version often crashes or fails to sync. Bugs and slow support temper satisfaction, and some users question the app's value versus free alternatives. The concept is strong, but reliability and feature completeness need work.

### Pros

- Real-time cross-device sync across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
- Helps focus and time management; boosts productivity
- Clean, simple design and easy to use
- Pomodoro timer integrated with task checklists for better workflow
- Ability to set total time per task and track history

### Cons

- Inflexible timer durations; fixed settings (often 30 minutes) with no per-task customization
- Apple Watch experience is unstable; crashes or fails to sync
- Frequent bugs/crashes and slow or unresponsive developer support
- Lacks planning for future days or recurring tasks
- Perceived value concerns; feels overpriced and missing features compared to free apps
