Choose less
Focus Mode is designed to answer the question that causes most drag: what should I do next? The point is not more filtering controls. The point is fewer decisions.
Feature
Your daily Top 3, plus a timer that keeps the day from sprawling.
Focus Mode narrows your attention to the most important tasks right now instead of making you scan the whole backlog every time you sit down. When you are ready, the built-in Pomodoro timer is one tap away.
Focus Mode is part of TapTidy Pro.
Rank locally
TapTidy surfaces the day's top tasks using due-date proximity and the priority signals already in your system. There is no cloud scoring pass required to open the screen.
Stay in motion
When you are ready to work, the Pomodoro timer is already part of the same surface. On web today, the timer themes add a little personality without turning the screen into a distraction.
Why it helps
Focus Mode is less about productivity theater and more about preserving momentum.
It works best when you already know the system has more work than you can reasonably do in one sitting and you need the interface to stop amplifying that pressure.
Morning reset
Open one screen, understand the day's critical work, and start instead of triaging for ten minutes.
Widget glance
The same Top 3 idea carries into widget workflows so the day's focus is visible without digging through the whole app.
Timer continuity
Timed work and breaks stay tied to the same focus surface rather than sending you to another disconnected tool.
