Hyperfocus 2 introduces HF+ which empowers you to reach an entire new level of productivity and ergonomics.

1. Microtasking
Take on any challenge with the new always on micro-tasking experience. A pleasure to use for anyone who is coding, writing, designing or simply spends the majority of the day in front of the screen, being creative or getting things done.

• Access your tasks at any moment with a single keyboard shortcut
• Keep the current task you're working on always on your top-right corner and tick it off at any point, allowing you to move on to the next task on your list
• Enter time estimates directly when entering your task, by separating it with a comma or period
• Keep track of the current task you're working on and the active screen time you've spent working on it
• Get a productivity score based on whether you've met your time estimate, or overdelivered on it
• Start and stop time tracking, anytime, with a simple keyboard shortcut
• CSV Batch Export/Import and Plain text Export/Import of tasks
• Beautiful UI, Animations and Silky Smooth performance

2. Stress Reduction / Healthier Blinking
Visual guides that appear at your mouse cursor every now and then. Take the edge off, keep yourself at your peak performance and decrease your chances of being affected by eye discomfort.

3. Custom Durations & Triple Ergonomics Profiles
Whether Tense, Relaxed or Hyperfocused, HF+ allows you to pre-set the right configurations in order to be productive, with a simple toggle slide, no matter the mental state you're in.

3. Persistent Breaks
Make the breaks unskippable for a set period of time, especially valuable to prevent reflex skips, or to break out of ADHD and ADD hyper-focus sessions.

4. Break Overlays Appearance, Animated Icons
Decide whether you would like to have a countdown timer shown when your break comes on, customise the break backgrounds and flip the whole application theme with a single button press.

5. Beautiful Actionable Notifications
Delay your upcoming breaks, clear your task list or just be gently reminded that you've forgotten Hyperfocus on pause.
Complete all of your tasks and get a glance of the HF+ confetti cannon.

6. Configuration Cloud Sync¹
Make sure you avoid doing any double work, configure your Hyperfocus preferences once, and have it synced across all your devices.

7. Context Aware Activation
Make all the ergonomics options get out of your way automatically when you go into a video call or your start watching a video.

8. Slack Status Updates
Keep your colleagues informed whenever you're taking a screen or sitting break, with automated status setting and reversal.
