Fokus

Day View

The calm home screen — what's happening now, what's next, and nothing else.

Day View is where Fokus opens: a full-screen photo, the time, the weather, and one card telling you what deserves your attention right now. It's deliberately the opposite of a dense dashboard — a place to land between tasks, not another thing to manage.

The center panel is Day at a Glance. When something is scheduled right now, you'll see it front and center — with its time block, priority, bucket, and a mini timeline of the surrounding half hours. When nothing is scheduled, it gently suggests a break or a plan. Underneath, the NEXT line always tells you what's coming and in how long.

Use the left and right arrows (or swipe) to flip through the panel's cards — upcoming tasks and events for the rest of the day:

The focus menu

The three-dot menu in the top-right corner holds the distraction dials:

  • Change background — a fresh ambient photo whenever you want one.
  • Immersive mode — hides the panels, leaving just the greeting, date, and clock. The dock collapses too (down to a Focus music player for your saved Spotify playlists). Toggle it with Alt+I.
  • Full screen — takes over the whole display, browser chrome and all.
  • Deep Fokus & DND — the outward-facing half of focus: with Slack or Microsoft Teams connected, it flips your presence to Do Not Disturb there while you work.
Immersive mode strips Day View down to the essentials.

Good to know

  • The greeting, clock, weather, and background all follow your local time and location — Day View doubles nicely as a desk clock on a second monitor.
  • Fokus can rotate through beautiful nature photography; if you'd rather choose the theme, that's in Settings → General.
  • Day View is the fastest way to answer "should I start something new or is a meeting about to interrupt me?" — that's what the NEXT line is for.
  • Completing your current task from here (click its circle) immediately promotes the next thing into the spotlight.

When to leave

Day View tells you what's now; the moment you want to change the plan, hop to a planning view:
