Frequently Asked Questions


How do I start a focus session?

Tap the TODO tab to start a session linked to a task, or tap the FOCUS tab for an instant session without a task. Choose your timer mode (count up, countdown, or no timer) and tap Start.

What are the three timer modes?

  • Count Up – tracks how long you’ve been focusing.
  • Countdown – set a target duration; you’ll be notified when time is up.
  • No Timer – pure ambient sound, no time pressure.

How do I change the background theme or ambient sound?

In the Settings tab, tap Theme. You can preview each theme’s background and sound before selecting. Premium themes require a FocusBloom Premium subscription.


What is FocusBloom Premium?

Premium unlocks all background themes. It’s available as a monthly ($0.99), semi-annual ($4.99), or annual ($6.99) subscription. You can try it free for 7 days.


How do I restore my subscription after reinstalling?

Go to Settings → Restore Purchases. Your subscription will be restored automatically using your Apple ID.


How do I cancel my subscription?

Open the Settings app on your iPhone → tap your Apple ID → Subscriptions → FocusBloom → Cancel Subscription.


Will the timer keep running if I leave the app?

Yes. FocusBloom uses a timestamp-based timer that continues accurately even when the app is in the background.


Is my data backed up to the cloud?

All data is stored locally on your device. There is no cloud sync. Your data is included in your iPhone’s iCloud or iTunes backup.
