Session is a focus app that helps build your productivity momentum. Block distractions, work in short intervals, and take regular breaks to recharge your mind. What makes Session stand out is its huge focus on analytics. This is the app that not only helps get things done, but also reflect on your work and track your progress over time.

Session features
25 minutes of focused work
Session helps you refine focus by working in timed bursts with regular breaks. Customize timed intervals of focused work to your work rhythm and boost your productivity with effective time management. Got interrupted? Pause a session whenever you like. Before a session starts, you’ll be prompted to breathe in and breathe out, then get to work.
Block distractions
Usually, there are specific things that make us lose our focus. Maybe you tend to wander off to your social media a bit too often, or decide to do a quick catch up on the news when you should be working. With Session, you can disable access to distracting websites or apps on your Mac and stay focused on your tasks. You can also automatically mute a Slack team when your session begins.
Reflect on your sessions
Once you complete a session, take a moment to reflect on your experience. Did it go well? Did you feel distracted, neutral, or focused? How productive were you? Write a few words or select an emoji to track your mood during the session — this will help you see the bigger picture at the end of the day.
See how you perform over time
The app has a session log where you can track your progress by days or weeks. See your most productive moments, find patterns, and adjust your workflow to accommodate your personal focus habits.
Use on Mac and iOS devices
Session syncs across devices and is available with a single Setapp membership on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Block distractions on Mac, work in set intervals on iPad, check and analyze your progress on iPhone, and sync with Apple Calendar.

I have severe ADHD, and my problem is not focus, but instead taking a break. This helps me do just that. I love the design of the app and the timeline feature. Being able to make categories for what I do really helps thins as well.

I’ve given up on Session for being too fussy and attention stealing. My bias: I have ADHD, so what I say may not apply to you. I liked the ability to type notes directly into the Session interface, thinking on paper about the steps needed to get the work done, or anything else. That feature is gone, but never mind. My main complaint is that the controls never made intuitive sense. After a year I was still constantly surprised by them and had trouble simply ending a session when it was done. (Why is the STOP control hidden under a "…"?) Eventually I started using another app that includes timed sessions within its features. When I cued up the redesigned Session one more time, I found that I couldn’t even respond to the "What's your focus?" prompt. (You click on the light gray word "Intention", and be sure to keep the description brief enough to fit.) That's when I quit Session for good.
