Focus without pressure
Focus does not need to feel like pressure.
Many productivity tools turn focus into performance. Streaks, scores, pressure, optimisation, and the feeling that every session needs to mean something.
Modus takes a quieter approach. Sit down, begin, and let the timer carry the session gently forward. No pressure to maintain momentum. No systems judging how consistently you show up.
Some days focus lasts three hours. Some days it lasts ten minutes before you realise you need rest instead. Both are still part of the process.
Sitting down and starting is the hardest part.
What makes Modus different
Two modes
Pomodoro offers gentle structure through focused cycles and rest intervals. Open Timer lets you set your own duration and begin without rules or expectations.
Quiet intention
Before you begin, you can set a simple intention for the session ahead. Not a goal or commitment. Just a quiet reminder of what matters right now.
No streaks
Focus should not become another system to maintain. No streaks, no scores, no pressure language, and no guilt when life interrupts your rhythm.
Session history
Your sessions are recorded privately for you, not performed for anyone else. A calm record of the work you sat down to do.
Private by design
Everything stays on your device and syncs privately through iCloud. No accounts, no analytics, and no systems observing your behaviour.
One payment
No subscription, no recurring charges, and no features held behind ongoing payments. Buy Modus Pro once and everything added in the future is yours.

Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Modus is built on the belief that a focus timer should support your work, not observe it. Modus is designed to collect as little as possible, keep everything on your device, and never use your information for anything beyond making the app work.
This policy explains what Modus stores, why, and what your rights are. It is written to be read, not avoided.
What Modus stores on your device
Modus stores the following information locally on your device. Nothing in this list is transmitted to Modus or any third party:
- Your session history, including duration, mode, and optional intention text
- Your timer preferences and custom interval settings
- Your chosen theme and sound preferences
- Your notification preferences
- Your in-app purchase status
- Whether you have completed onboarding
All of this information is stored using Apple's standard on-device storage systems (such as SwiftData or UserDefaults). It exists solely to make the app function correctly and to preserve your experience between sessions.
All data remains on your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud sync. Modus does not transmit your data to any external servers it controls.
iCloud sync
Modus offers optional iCloud sync across your Apple devices. When enabled, your session history and preferences are synced using iCloud.
- Data is stored in your personal iCloud account, managed entirely by Apple
- Modus does not operate any servers and never receives your data directly
- Syncing is optional and can be disabled at any time in the app's settings
Apple's privacy policy governs any data stored in iCloud and can be found at apple.com/legal/privacy.
In-app purchases
Purchases are processed entirely through Apple's StoreKit framework. Modus does not see, handle, or store any payment or billing information. All transactions are managed directly by Apple.
What Modus does not do
- Modus does not collect personal information
- Modus does not transmit data to external servers
