Calculating Focus Time

How Focus Time is Calculated

Focus Time is the sum of all your Focus Session durations. Focus Sessions come from apps and websites whose rules have Focus turned on and from sessions you start manually.

Example: You spend 30 minutes in the VSCode app, whose rule has Focus turned on. This activity creates a Focus Session with a duration of 30 minutes, so your Focus Time is 30 minutes.

Focus Sessions are created automatically if you spend approximately 75% of your time in apps and websites that count as focus within any timeframe of 15 minutes or longer. Because of this threshold, Focus Time may not equal all time spent in those apps and websites.

Example: Over an hour, you spend 30 minutes in the VSCode app and 30 minutes in the Slack app, alternating between each app every minute. Since Slack's rule has Focus turned off, this period will not reach the necessary threshold, and a Focus Session will not be created.

Your Focus Time for this period will be zero. The 30 minutes tracked in the VSCode app remains recorded, but it is not part of a Focus Session.
