Frequently Asked Questions

Starfocus is a space-themed pomodoro timer for iOS. Each Pomodoro-style focus session "intercepts" a real star drawn from a real-world star catalog. Complete sessions to build your collection of discovered stars, explore them on an interactive AR star map, and track your focus journey.

Before you start a focus session, you can point your phone toward the sky to find a star that you want to intercept. Completing the session will add it to your list of discoveries. You can then view the details of your intercepted stars in the Discoveries tab.

Starfocus Pro unlocks more stars, additional custom tags, and iCloud sync for cross-device data. All core features, including the Pomodoro timer, AR star map, and session history are free.

Yes. The core experience is completely free, which includes focus timer, session tagging, and the Discoveries collection. Starfocus Pro is an optional upgrade for users who want deeper catalog access, more tags, and iCloud sync.

Yes. The star map uses your GPS location to display stars as they appear from your position on Earth. Celestial rotation is applied in real time, and solar system bodies (Sun, Moon, planets) are shown at their current positions for reference.

Starfocus ties every completed focus session to a real star, turning your productivity history into a personal star collection. After each session, you can explore your new stars on a live AR sky map, view Wikipedia summaries and astrometry data, and track your focus journey across thousands of stars.
