About Focus

Focus is a minimal, distraction-free productivity timer app. It is designed to help users stay focused on their tasks while ensuring complete privacy. The app works offline by default and does not require an account to use.

Information we collect

  • No Personal Data by Default
    Focus does not collect, store, or share any personal data such as name, email, or phone number.

  • Optional Data (If You Choose to Sync or Upgrade)
    If you enable optional features such as cloud sync or desktop integration, the app may request limited data (e.g., authentication tokens) only for that purpose.
    This data is never sold or shared.

  • Local Data
    All your tasks, timers, and preferences are stored locally on your device unless you explicitly enable synchronization.

Open Source Transparency

  • The app is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL-3.0).

  • Anyone can inspect, modify, or contribute to the source code at:
    👉 https://github.com/Appaxaap/Focus

  • This ensures that no hidden tracking, spyware, or unauthorized data collection exists.

Security

Since all data is stored locally, you are responsible for the security of your device.

  • If you enable sync, your data is protected using encryption provided by the third-party service.

  • Being open source, the app’s code is auditable for potential vulnerabilities.

Third-Party Services

Focus is designed to minimize reliance on third parties.

  • By default, the app does not send any data to external services.

  • If you enable optional sync or backup features, data may be processed by the chosen third-party service (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox). In such cases, their respective privacy policies apply.

  • We do not integrate ads, analytics, or trackers.

User Control

You are in complete control of your data:

  • Delete Anytime: You can delete all your tasks and preferences directly from the app.

  • No Lock-in: Since the app is open source, you can fork the code or export your data.

  • Transparency: Updates to this policy and the app’s behavior will always be announced publicly.

Children’s Privacy

Focus is not directed at children under the age of 13.

  • We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

  • If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child is using the app improperly, please delete the data stored locally.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

  • Updates will always be posted with a clear revision date.

  • Major changes will be announced via our official channels (GitHub, community groups).
