Focus Mode
Focus Mode is a stripped-down view that removes distractions. The calendar opens on Now — what is happening this minute and what is next — and offers only a day and an agenda beside it, with a simple task list one tap away.
Not the same as Live Focus / clean focus mode — that's a separate, Now-view-only feature you toggle inside the calendar. Focus Mode is an account-level Experience Mode that changes the whole app.
What Changes In Focus Mode
- The calendar opens on Now, and only three views are offered: Now, Day, and Agenda. A link to any other view opens Now instead, and the keys for the other views (W, M, 3, 5) do nothing.
- The More menu, notifications bell, and profile menu are gone — the header shrinks to your logo, the current date, and the mode selector.
- Calendar groups in the sidebar disappear (the sidebar itself also collapses by default, though you can re-expand it).
- Task labels — Board's status chips collapse to just Todo/Done, and the Focus tab shows one task at a time with a single big Done button.
- Automation, External Sync, AI Agents, Personal Logs, and calendar sharing.
- The calendar's inline Quick add button (and its New event menu) in the header.
What Stays Visible In Focus Mode
- Your calendar, on Now, Day, and Agenda.
- Search.
- Creating an event — via a floating + button in the bottom-right corner instead of the header. It opens a short list with Quick add closest to the button (type the event as a sentence), then New event (the full editor), New task and Start a routine. Q and C still work.
- A Tasks button that opens a slide-in drawer with your simplified task list, without leaving the calendar.
- You can still drag events to a new time in the Day view, and resize them.
How To Switch To Focus Mode
Open the mode selector pill in the header (or Profile → Experience) and choose Focus. The switch is instant — no PIN required. If the calendar is open, it moves to Now.
Tips For Focus Mode Users
- Use Focus Mode during deep-work blocks when you want the calendar front and center.
- The task drawer keeps your to-do list one tap away without switching away from the calendar.
- If you need Month or Week, labels, due-date filters, or the Focus Sessions timer back, switch to Standard Mode — nothing is lost, it's just hidden.
- Pair Focus Mode with a calm Skin if visual clutter (not just navigation clutter) is what distracts you.
