Real screen recordings of the app on a Mac, with sample data.
01Today
A day you can see.
Plan tasks with an optional time and an estimated length. A load bar compares what you planned with the hours you really have, and turns red when the day overflows. Quick add understands “Call Marie tomorrow 30m #Personal”.
02Spotlight
Too many choices? Pick a length.
Say how long you have. Spotlight proposes the tasks that fit, the most urgent first. Swap one, or ask for another selection.
03Super focus
One task. Nothing else.
Super focus walks you through your selection one task at a time, full screen, with nothing else in view. Tick it off, and the next one is there.
04I’m stuck
Stuck? Start smaller.
Tell it what is blocking you: too big, unclear, boring, scary, or no time. A few short questions end with a tiny first step you can start right now.
05The jar
Can’t decide? Draw from the jar.
Put a few tasks in the jar and let chance pick the next one. Sometimes the best choice is the one you do not have to make.

Questions
What is WyzeFocus?
WyzeFocus is a task manager for macOS designed for ADHD minds. It combines a day planner, a Spotlight that picks tasks to fit a session, a Pomodoro timer, a jar for random choice and an “I’m stuck” helper. It syncs through your iCloud, and a web version runs on iPhone and iPad. It is free for a limited time.
Is WyzeFocus a medical tool?
No. It is a productivity app. It is built with ADHD in mind, but it does not diagnose, treat or replace professional support.
Where is my data stored?
In a single file named wyzefocus.json in the app’s data folder on your Mac. If you turn on sync, a copy also goes to your own iCloud private database, which we cannot read. There is no account with us. Besides iCloud, the Mac app only reads a small public file every 6 hours to see whether a newer version exists, without sending any data.
How does Spotlight choose tasks?
You pick a session length. WyzeFocus ranks open tasks (overdue first, then planned for today, then due within 7 days, then unplanned) and adds them until the estimated time fills the session. A task with no estimate counts as 30 minutes.
Does it have gamification?
No. There are no streaks, points, levels or badges.
Can I turn off the features I do not use?
Yes. The settings let you switch off the calendar, review dates, Super focus, Spotlight, the jar, the Pomodoro timer, time tracking, the “I’m stuck” helper and the columns view.
Can I import my tasks from another app?
Through a CSV file with a title column. The columns project, date, due date, duration, note and done are also recognised. There is no direct import from other task apps.
Does it sync between my devices?
Yes, through your own iCloud. On your Mac, open Settings > iCloud sync and click Sign in with Apple. Then open wyzefocus.labwyze.com in Safari on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the same Apple account. Tasks sync a few seconds after a change, when you come back to the app, and every 5 minutes. Theme, colour and language stay specific to each device.
Which Macs does it run on?
Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and later). The app is not available for Intel Macs, but the web version runs in a recent browser.
How do I open the app the first time?
WyzeFocus is signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple. The first time, macOS asks you to confirm that you want to open an app downloaded from the internet: click Open. If you still see a warning, open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
