We’re excited to announce a powerful new feature that will transform how you track and reflect on your productivity sessions: Timer Notes! This enhancement allows you to add meaningful context to your timer records, making your productivity journey more insightful and actionable.
What are Timer Notes?
Timer Notes is a simple yet powerful feature that lets you add notes to your timer records. This can be used to log tasks that you have completed, how you felt, etc. These notes appear directly on your daily timeline, and helps to build a more complete picture for your focus and productivity.
How it works
Adding notes to your timer records is incredibly simple:
- After a timer session, tap on the timer record in your daily timeline
- Add your note in the Notes text field.
- Save your note - it will now be visible on your timeline for that date
- Edit your notes anytime by tapping on any timer record
Building better habits through reflection
With Timer Notes, Focusmeter becomes a more comprehensive productivity journal. By regularly adding notes to your timers, you’ll start to notice patterns in your productivity:
- Which environments help you focus best
- What types of tasks benefit from longer vs. shorter timer sessions
- How your energy levels change throughout the day
- What external factors impact your concentration
This self-awareness helps to build more effective and sustainable productivity habits.
Perfect complement to existing features
Timer Notes work seamlessly with Focusmeter’s existing features:
- Tags: Combine notes with tags for even more detailed categorization
- Statistics: Your notes provide context for the numbers in your productivity analytics
- Export Data: Your notes are included when you export your data for external analysis
