Questions
Does Floe have to stay open?
No. The Live Activity starts by itself when a focus block starts and keeps counting down on the Lock Screen while Floe is closed.
Can I control the timer from the Lock Screen?
Yes. Pause or resume, add five minutes, or finish the block with the buttons beside the countdown, without unlocking into Floe.
How do I turn it off?
In Floe, go to Profile → Live Activity. You can also switch Live Activities off for Floe in the iPhone’s Settings.
