Focus and timer

Light column and timer views

No. When you come back to Focus from another tab, it starts with the full view.

I want to …

… read the light column and move between timer views.

The light column is the vertical field that shrinks with time left. You do not need digits to see progress. Behind the column a thin gray line runs the full height, with rounded ends. It shows how far the light has already burned down.
The column is bright while the timer runs, dimmer while it is paused, and faint when no timer is running.
A tap anywhere on the free field changes the view. The hint is Click to change view.

Open Focus. The light column fills the background.
There are always three views, with or without a focus task. Tap the free field, not a button:
- Full view: your task card with Done (or Let's focus without a focus task), the clock with reset, play or pause, and in Pomodoro skip, round, and phase, plus the line with your timer settings.
- Light and time: the column and the clock with play or pause.
- Light only: just the column.
The next tap brings back the full view. You can also swipe left for the next view and right for the previous one. With a keyboard, press V.
In the full view, a tap on the clock digits opens Timer settings. In the light-and-time view, a tap on the digits changes the view like anywhere else.
Time left sits large as minutes and seconds. The column itself is the progress.
In the left navigation a small light burns along once a timer is running or paused and you are not on the Focus tab. It also appears on Focus while the task is open there as a window. Tap it to return to the Focus tab.

You can read the session from the column and quiet the view as far as you like.

Why did my tap do nothing?

You hit a button (play, reset, skip), the task card, or the line with your timer settings. Tap the free part of the field.

Does the view stay when I come back?

No. When you come back to Focus from another tab, it starts with the full view.
