AutoFocus

It can be a bit difficult to keep focus on your work with all the Internet left to explore, and accessible in the next tab. It’s not all bad though, because spending too much time in front of the PC, or especially concentrated on a task can be harmful. On the bright side, you can use applications like AutoFocus to structure your tasks a little better.

Easily create your list of tasks

The application takes little time and effort to get installed on your computer, letting you take a look at its set of features before you realize. With the main window up, accommodation takes only a little while, and so does creating a list of all tasks you need to perform. However, time and date aren’t displayed, so you might want to write it down next to a task if you want to keep track of all activities on the long run.
Tasks are automatically created once you stop writing in a dedicated field put at your disposal. Unfortunately, you can’t modify the font type, style, or color to make them easier to identify, nor add any icons in this regard. This is why it’s best to work on one task at a time, but you can’t monitor two at the same time anyway.

Track a task at a time

Each task field has its own corresponding clock field which, when pressed, starts to count the remaining time until you need to take a break. Sadly, you can only keep track of one task at a time, and selecting a different one discards time counted so far for a task.
The application relies on the Pomodoro technique, which, by default, is set to count 25 minutes of work time, with additional 5 of break time. You can’t change the values here, nor do you even get to see any numerical values related to time.

A few last words

To sum it up, AutoFocus is a lightweight, and easy to use application which can help you with your daily activities by reminding you it’s time to take a break every now and then. However, it’s only good for short-term activities, with no options to track everything you do, and little details to add to that.
