Why it works

Built for how focus actually works

Structure your day around attention levels, not just deadlines. Then execute with purpose.

4-bucket priority system

Sort tasks into Deep Work, Essential, Non-Essential, and Habits. Each bucket gets dedicated time that matches your energy.

Star rewards that motivate

Earn Spark, Stellar, Radiant, or Supernova stars based on session length. Visual rewards that make progress tangible.

Daily shutdown ritual

End each day properly with a guided reflection. Clear your mind, assess your energy, and transition to rest mode.

Habits alongside tasks

Track quantitative habits with your tasks. Daily and weekly schedules that build consistency without extra apps.

Inside the app

Plan first. Focus second.

Organize by focus level, then let the timer do its job.

Keep everything organized

Create groups for different areas of life and track habits alongside tasks. It all works together.

Organize by focus level

What needs your sharpest thinking? What's urgent but light? Sort work by the attention it requires.

Every timer session has purpose

Start with clarity, finish with momentum. The timer becomes execution—not decision-making time.

End your day with intention

Complete a daily shutdown ritual to close loops, capture thoughts, and transition from work mode to rest.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?

No. LyraFocus syncs automatically via iCloud by default, but you can turn this off in settings to keep data local-only.

What makes LyraFocus different?

Most tools are a timer with a list attached. LyraFocus starts with planning by focus levels using a 4-bucket system, includes a daily shutdown ritual, and rewards progress with a motivating star system.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad today with seamless sync.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your data syncs privately through your iCloud account by default, or stays local-only if you prefer. There are no ads and no cross‑site tracking.

What is the shutdown ritual?

A guided daily reflection that helps you properly close your workday. Review what you accomplished, clear mental loops, and transition to rest mode—based on productivity research.

How does the 4-bucket system work?

Organize tasks into Deep Work (complex focus), Essential (important but lighter), Non-Essential (quick tasks), and Habits. Each bucket gets dedicated time that matches your energy levels.

What are star rewards?

Visual rewards you earn for completing focus sessions and tasks. Spark (1-20min), Stellar (21-40min), Radiant (41-60min), and Supernova (61+min) stars make progress feel tangible and motivating.

What happens if I cancel?

Your data is preserved whether stored locally or in your iCloud account, but you lose access to the app until you renew your subscription. LyraFocus doesn't have a freemium model—it's simply pay to unlock or not.
