Mobile app

The mobile app isn't a shrunken dashboard; it's the parts of Fokus you actually need away from a desk. What's happening now, what's next, a two-tap way to capture whatever just crossed your mind, and the Captain — available on iOS and Android.

Your day at a glance

The home screen puts today's timeline on top and your task list underneath, with tabs for Tasks, Notes, Objectives, and Integrations:

The red line marks now, events and scheduled tasks sit where they belong, and the same priority, energy, and bucket chips you know from the web ride along on each task.

Capture in two taps

The + button opens Quick Add — one sheet, four kinds of thing: Task, Event, Note, Objective:

The chips along the bottom (bucket, do date, due date, priority, energy) mean a fully specified task takes seconds — and if you skip them, TEA fills in the gaps for you.

Work a task properly

Tap any task to open it: complete it, add subtasks, edit the details, or start a timer for the focus session you're about to do:

Events open the same way, and the chips along the bottom now cover what the web form does: reminders, calendar, bucket, all-day, status, repeat, time zone, video call, travel mode, tags, and — for all-day events — whether the auto-scheduler should work around it. Every chip carries an icon, so a filled bar reads at a glance.

Reminders work on events exactly as they do on tasks: tap the alarm chip and pick "at time of event", or 5/15/30 minutes, an hour, or a day before. You can add them while creating the event in Quick Add too — they attach the moment it saves.

Attach files to anything

Tasks, events, and objectives all have an Attachments section on mobile. Tap + and pull a file from your photo library, from Files, or straight from the camera — handy for a whiteboard photo or a receipt you don't want to lose. Images show a thumbnail; everything else gets an icon by file type. See Attachments for the size and format limits.

Notes are the exception: pictures go inside the note via the editor's image button, not into a separate list.

Open an objective

Tap any objective to open it properly: rename it, edit its description, move it to a different bucket, tick its linked tasks off one by one, and attach files to it.

The ✨ sparkle in the Tasks header hands the objective to ODA, which reads it — description and linked notes included — and proposes a set of tasks to break it down into. Everything comes back pre-selected: untick anything you don't want, then tap Create. The tasks land on the objective, inheriting its bucket.

Repeating tasks

Tasks repeat now, not just events. Give a task a do date and the Repeat chip appears — daily, weekly, or monthly. The task then shows up on every day the rule covers, the same days the web app shows.

Each day stands on its own. Tick Tuesday's copy and only Tuesday is done: Wednesday's is still waiting, and the series carries on. Delete one day and you skip just that day, leaving the rest of the rule intact. Subtasks come along too — the first time you touch a day it takes its own copy of the series' checklist, so this week's ticks never carry over to next week's.

Notes come along too — the full rich text, checklists and all, exactly as you wrote them on the web:

Find any task or note

Long lists don't stay long. Every task list — the Today list, the Reservoir, and each Bucket — carries the same controls you know from the web, right on the header row:

• Filter — by priority, energy, bucket, tags, or source. A dot on the button counts your active filters.
• Sort — by created or updated date, due date, or bucket, ascending or descending.
• Group — off, by Bucket, or by time (Overdue, Today, This Week, Later, No date).
• View — flip between compact rows and expanded rows with all the chips.

Notes get the same treatment — a search box plus filter and sort — so a busy notebook is one tap from the note you want:

Filter notes by type (standalone notes vs. task and objective descriptions), who created them (you, AI, or an integration), bucket, or tags:

Captain Fokus, on the move

The chat comes with you. Ask what's next, create tasks by describing them, or hit the mic and speak — with the Voice Agent add-on the phone icon starts a real call, which makes a walk a legitimate planning session:

The inbox travels too

If you've enabled the Email Assistant, your triaged inbox is here — same categories, same sorting, on the train:

Share your daily brief

Your morning briefing and end-of-day review can go straight to your team. Open a brief — tap the sun (morning) or moon (evening) button above the panel — then tap Share:

Quiet the phone during a focus session

Start a focus session — from your phone, your laptop, anywhere — and if it has Do Not Disturb switched on, your Android phone goes quiet for as long as it runs. Calls and notifications are silenced. Alarms still go off, so nothing you actually need is suppressed.

When the session ends, your phone goes back to exactly the setting it had before. Not "off" — whatever it was. If you had Do Not Disturb on before you started, you still do afterwards.

The first time you switch it on, Android asks for one extra permission. It's a system settings screen rather than the usual pop-up, because changing Do Not Disturb is a privileged thing for an app to do. Fokus only ever uses it while a session is running, and if you'd rather not grant it, everything else still works — the session runs on all your devices, your phone just doesn't go quiet.

Shortcuts and Siri on iPhone

Start a Fokus Session from the Shortcuts app, from Siri, from Spotlight, or from any automation — arriving at the office, an NFC tag on your desk, a time of day — without opening Fokus.

Turn it on in Settings → Shortcuts & Siri on your iPhone and tap Connect Shortcuts. That's the whole setup: Fokus is already signed in on this phone, so there's nothing to scan or paste.

You get two actions:

• Start Fokus Session — with a length you choose, 25 minutes by default.
• End Fokus Session.

The one Shortcut worth building

Put iOS's own action and ours in the same Shortcut, and one tap does both jobs:

1. Open Shortcuts → +.
2. Add Set Focus — pick Do Not Disturb, or Work, or whichever you use.
3. Add Start Fokus Session and set the length.
4. Name it, and give it an icon you'll recognise.

Now running it silences your iPhone and starts the session everywhere else: Slack and Teams go to do not disturb, any Android phone you're signed into goes quiet, and the session shows up on your laptop. Add it to your Home Screen, ask Siri for it, or trigger it from an automation.

Build the mirror image with Turn Focus Off and End Fokus Session to stop both at once.

Let a Focus start the session

The other direction works too. In Settings → Focus on your iPhone, open a Focus and add Fokus as a filter. From then on, turning that Focus on starts a Fokus Session.

Disconnecting from Settings → Shortcuts & Siri stops all of it, and so does signing out.

Good to know

• Daily brief button — shows a sun in your morning window and a moon in the evening, and opens your most recent briefing or review.
• Push notifications — reminders, briefings, and schedule changes. Tune them in Settings → Notifications.
• Real-time sync — check something off here and your laptop updates instantly.
• Offline-friendly — recently loaded data stays readable, and changes sync when you're back.
• Home-screen widgets and a system share sheet make capture even faster.
• Search everything (🔍 in the header) — tasks, notes, events, objectives.
