Fokly 1.1

Fokly now updates itself. From this version on, Fokly checks fokly.app once a day and installs new versions in a click. A check never interrupts a focus session: instead of a window, a small Update button appears in the popover. Updates are signed with an EdDSA key and verified before they're installed. You can turn the check off in Settings → About.

• A new install window.
• Settings → About shows the right version number (1.0.1 reported itself as 1.0).
• The Screen Recording prompt uses plain words.

Coming from 1.0 or 1.0.1? Download this one by hand once; after that Fokly keeps itself up to date.

Fokly 1.0.1

Download: Fokly.dmg

• The timer rings now show the time left and empty out as the session runs down, in the menu bar, the popover and the floating timer.
• Clearer wording throughout: Fokly checks your screen and reminds you when you get distracted.

Fokly 1.0

The first release of Fokly: a focus timer for the Mac menu bar with an on-device AI that notices when you get distracted and brings you back.

Download: Fokly.dmg. Open it and drag Fokly to Applications. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

• Set a goal; Fokly glances at the window in front of you every 20 seconds.
• A local Qwen3.5 model (4B, or 2B as a lighter option) judges whether it serves the goal. Nothing leaves your Mac.
• Stay distracted for a while and a reminder slides in: Take me back returns you to the exact window and browser tab.
• Insights: time focused, share on goal, streaks, top distractions.

Requirements: macOS 26, Apple silicon, ~3 GB for the model (downloaded on the first session).
