Engross: Focus Timer & To-Do
How does Engross combine a to-do list with a focus timer?
Engross directly links your tasks to the timer. You start a Pomodoro session for a specific task from your list, which helps keep you accountable and focused on that one item. The app then moves completed tasks to a history log.
What kind of statistics and data does Engross provide?
Engross tracks your completed focus sessions daily and weekly, and shows which specific tasks you spent time on. This data can reveal work patterns and help you identify tasks you might be avoiding.
I'm having trouble linking a task to the timer. What should I do?
This is a common initial hurdle due to the button placement. Ensure you are selecting a task from your list before starting the timer. The workflow becomes intuitive after a few sessions of prioritizing tasks first, then starting timers.
Is the white noise feature available in the free version?
Yes, the white noise mixer with several sound options is available for free. The premium upgrade unlocks additional sound options and the ability to layer more sounds simultaneously for deeper customization.
How does Engross differ from using a separate timer and to-do app?
Unlike separate apps, Engross integrates your tasks directly into the timer, creating a psychological commitment to the specific work. It also provides unified statistics on your focus time per task, which disconnected apps cannot offer.
