What you need to know
- Focused Work now supports Apple silicon, bringing it to the Mac for the first time.
- The version 1.2 update also brings improvements to iPhone and iPad as well.
Fans of the Focused Work app can now get their time management on without picking up their iPhone or iPad. The app is now Apple silicon-ready, meaning you can install it on your new M1 MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini.
Focused Work helps users to focus on their tasks by setting work periods and then taking breaks, all based on time slots that have been pre-set. The app can even remind you to take a break to recharge your batteries as well.
The new Mac version is free for existing users, but there's no indication when we can expect a version of Focused Work to be available to those of us running Intel Macs. If that happens at all.
As for the new version 1.2 update, there's more here than the arrival of a Mac app.
