Bone the first ten minutes
Hard work, honestly recorded.
Endured records focus sessions. The gradient deepens as the session does. Tap End when you're done, and the record stays as it was.

This page is a session. Read down it and the time runs.
Stone at ten minutes
The work itself is the point
Most focus apps want to coach you. Streaks to defend. Daily goals. Encouraging notifications when you've fallen behind. Animations that celebrate completed Pomodoros. Productivity scores aggregated across weeks and months.
Endured doesn't do any of that. The premise is much smaller: the work itself is the point, and the most a tool should do is sit with you while you do it, then write down what happened.
You tap Begin. The lightest stage fills the screen. As the minutes accumulate it deepens: Stone at ten, Slate at twenty-five, Graphite at fifty, Iron at ninety. You tap End when you're done, and the session is saved as it was: duration, depth reached, the date. If you stopped early, that's the record. If you went long, that's the record too.
Slate at twenty-five minutes
Four screens, nothing else
Graphite at fifty minutes
Over time, on your wrist, unfolded
Over time
Insight gathers your sessions across a week, a month, or all of them: the total time, the spread of depths, when in the day you tend to begin, and the longest you've sat. The numbers rise and fall as your weeks vary, and the app has no opinion about which way is better.
On your wrist
Endured records on Apple Watch, with or without your iPhone in the room, and syncs when the two are together again. The complication shows the session running and its depth, and nothing at all when no session is running.
Begin without looking
Ask Siri to begin a focus session, or put the action in a Shortcut. Ending works without leaving whatever you are doing.
Iron at ninety minutes
Honest by default
- Broken sessions
- Count, with equal weight. The record is what happened, not what should have.
- Streaks, goals, scores
- None. No notifications nudging you back.
- Your data
- Synced across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through your own private iCloud. Sessions can write to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes if you opt in. Export it all as a CSV, or erase it, whenever you like.
- Account, servers, tracking
- None. There is nothing for us to see.
