Focus and timer

Turn on Hyperfocus

I want to …

… keep only my focus task and the timer in front of me until I press Done.

Before you start

  • Hyperfocus needs a focus task. If you have none, the board opens in pick mode after the intro.
  • The first time you turn it on, a short intro appears. Confirm with Got it. It does not come back after that.
  • Works on every plan and for every role.

Here's how

  1. Turn on Hyperfocus. On desktop the toggle sits at the bottom of the left rail; on a phone it sits in the app bar of the board and of the Focus tab.
  2. The first time, read the intro and tap Got it.
  3. Without a focus task, tap the card you want on the board.
  4. The board steps aside. Navigation keeps only Focus; on a phone the bottom bar disappears.
  5. Work under the timer. Tap the task card to open the whole task and edit everything.
  6. Press Done when you are finished. Focus ends and the full navigation comes back.
  7. Turn Hyperfocus off at any time with the same toggle.

The result

Only the Focus tab is left: the timer, the light column, and your one task. Everything else returns after Done.

Common questions

Does Hyperfocus stay on after Done?

The switch stays on. The next time you focus a task, Hyperfocus starts again right away. Turn the switch off if you want the normal view.

Do other people in the workspace see this?

No. Hyperfocus is only for you on this device.

Where is my parking lot?

Hyperfocus hides Notes, and the Parking lot with it, so no new rabbit hole opens. It comes back after Done.

How do I see the intro again?

Open Settings → Show intro again. The Hyperfocus page shows the same animation.
