How do I start?

A little shelter for your attention. Practical help with settling in, returning, and keeping your moments.
For FocusBurrow 1.0 on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 26 or later.
Can I return early?
Yes. Tap Return early and confirm Return gently. Your actual time is saved, and you can leave a reflection or skip it. A shorter stay is welcome.
What happens when time is up?
When you return to FocusBurrow, it checks the saved end time and opens your optional reflection. You can choose a feeling, write a few words, or skip both. The book button opens your past sessions.
Where is the Lock Screen timer?
Open Comfort using the sliders button and turn on Lock Screen timer. Also check that Live Activities are allowed for FocusBurrow in your device’s Settings. The timer appears during a session; supported iPhones can also show it in Dynamic Island. Tap the activity to return to the app. If you dismiss it, FocusBurrow respects that choice and offers Show on Lock Screen when you return.
Why did I not receive a notification?
In Comfort, choose Allow a completion notification and accept the system prompt. Once permission is allowed, the Completion notification switch controls the optional reminder. Device notification settings, Focus modes, and scheduled summaries can affect when an alert is shown or heard. No notification is required for the timer to finish.
Does it block other apps?
No. FocusBurrow provides a quiet timer and journal. Use your device’s Focus mode in Control Center for fewer interruptions.
Where is my journal stored?
Your intentions, session dates and durations, feelings, and reflections are stored locally. FocusBurrow has no account or developer-operated sync. Device backups may include local data according to your Apple settings. Deleting the app can remove your journal; offloading and deleting are different system actions.
Can I remove a journal entry?
FocusBurrow 1.0 does not include individual entry deletion or export. Deleting the app removes its local data when the operating system removes the app container. Manage any device backups separately in Apple settings. Do not delete the app as a troubleshooting step if you want to keep your journal.
What if saving fails?
Keep the app installed and try again. Check that your device has available storage. If the problem continues, contact support with the exact message. You do not need to share a private intention or reflection.
