WyzeFocus

WyzeFocus is a task manager built around how ADHD brains actually work. Too many choices, a fuzzy idea of what “done” means, a task that feels too big to start: each of these has its own tool.

There are no streaks, no points and no badges. Your tasks live on your Mac, and the app works offline. Turn on iCloud sync to find them on your other Macs and on your iPhone or iPad, in the web version at wyzefocus.labwyze.com.

What you get

1. A day you can see — Plan tasks for a day, with an optional time and an estimated length. A load indicator compares what you planned with the hours you have available, and turns red when the day is overloaded.
2. Quick add that understands you — Type something like “Call Marie tomorrow 30m #Personal” and the date, duration and project are filled in for you.
3. iCloud sync — Sign in with Apple once, and your tasks, projects and preferences sync between your Macs and the web version, through your own iCloud. There is no WyzeFocus server. When a task changes on two devices, different fields are merged, and time tracked on both is added up. A device that lost its tasks never empties iCloud.
4. iPhone and iPad, in Safari — The web version at wyzefocus.labwyze.com is the same app, adapted to touch. Open it in Safari, sign in with the same Apple account, then use Share > Add to Home Screen to open it full screen.
5. Quick capture from anywhere — On a Mac, a global shortcut (⌃⌥ Space by default, or one you choose) opens a small floating window from any app. Type a task, press Return, and you are back to what you were doing. An optional menu bar icon is included.
6. Tasks from WyzeMind — In WyzeMind, Send to WyzeFocus turns selected lines or unchecked boxes into tasks, each with a link back to the original note.
7. Spotlight — Choose the length of a session, and WyzeFocus proposes the tasks that fit, the most urgent first. You can swap a task or ask for another selection.
8. Super focus — Work through your selection one task at a time, full screen, with nothing else in view.
9. The jar — Too many choices? Put tasks in the jar and let chance draw the next one.
10. “I’m stuck” helper — Pick what is blocking you (too big, unclear, boring, scary, no time) and get a short series of questions that ends with a tiny first step.
11. Pomodoro and time tracking — A Pomodoro timer with settings for work, break and long break, and a timer per task. A report shows time spent by project and by task over today, 7 or 30 days.
12. List, grid or columns — View tasks as a list, a grid, or To do / Doing / Done columns, plus an inbox, a calendar and a review list.
13. Projects, sub-tasks and repeats — Nested projects, sub-tasks, labels, due dates, review dates, and repeats every N days, weeks, months or years, optionally counted from completion.
14. Show only what you need — Each feature can be switched off in the settings, so the app stays as simple as you want.
15. Backup and CSV — Export and import a backup file, or import and export a CSV. The import expects a title column.
16. Light, dark and two languages — Light, dark or automatic theme, an accent colour of your choice, in English and French.
