For Mac makers who want less noise

Fokus

Five things. One quiet field. Full immersion.

The constraint

Steve Jobs portrait

Five things is enough room for a serious day.

Steve Jobs was known for a ruthless kind of focus: choose the few priorities that matter, then say no to the rest. Fokus turns that idea into a simple daily ritual: pick up to five things, then work on one at a time.

  1. 01 Choose five

    Write down the five tasks that would make today feel complete.

  2. 02 Pick one

    Select the task that deserves the next uninterrupted block of attention.

  3. 03 Enter the capsule

    Keep time and the active task visible without opening another workspace.

  4. 04 Close the loop

    Mark progress, breathe, and move to the next thing only when it is time.

  5. 05 End clean

    Finish the day with a small list that shows what actually moved forward.

How it works

A to-do list that turns into a focus timer.

Fokus is designed for the moment before work starts: write no more than five tasks, open one task into a timer, then keep it visible in floating or capsule mode while you work.

To-do list Up to five tasks per day

The limit keeps the list honest. You decide what is worth attention before the day fills itself.

Task timer 25:00
25 minutes
Normal 25m Deep 45m
Work modes Floating window and capsule

Use the full floating timer when you need control, then shrink into capsule mode when the task should simply stay with you.

focus is a boundary

A small surface for deep work.

Fokus does not try to become your project manager. It gives the current task a place to live, then gets out of the way.

Capsule mode

The task stays with you. The app disappears.

A floating capsule keeps time, task, and completion in one calm object. It is glanceable enough to guide you, quiet enough to forget.
