Focus timer in your notifications

A running focus block stays in your notifications and on the Lock Screen, counting down, with the controls on it.

What you see

  • The task’s name and whether you are focusing, paused or on a break
  • The time left, counting down, and a progress bar
  • Pause or resume, +5 min, and Finish
  • The next planned task and when it starts
  • On Android 16 or later, a Live Update: pinned on the Lock Screen, with the time in a chip in the status bar on phones that show one
