Each tag has its own custom duration. Tap the tag icon on the timer screen → swipe to your tag → tap the pencil icon to edit it. You can set a unique focus duration, break length, and sessions per cycle per tag.
Yes. Once you start a session you can lock your screen or switch apps. The timer keeps running. A Live Activity on your Dynamic Island or lock screen shows the remaining time at all times.
The timer continues running in the background. When you reopen Deeply Focus the session resumes exactly where it left off. If the session has already ended while you were away, a notification will have been sent and the session will be recorded automatically.
On the timer screen, tap the skip button (forward arrow) to move to the next phase. To stop the session entirely, tap the stop button. Stopped sessions under 50% of their duration are not recorded in your stats.
Sessions are only saved when they are fully completed (or pass the 50% threshold). If you stopped a session very early it will not be counted. Also check the date filter in Stats. Make sure you are viewing the correct day or week.
