Frequently asked questions

Does Task & Pause need an internet connection or an account?
No. The core app is fully offline. There is no sign-in, no cloud account, and no automatic sync between devices.
Which iOS version do I need?
Task & Pause requires iOS 17 or later.
How do suggested times work?
Suggestions are calculated on your device. They consider your energy, the task’s effort and the tasks you already have, within 8 AM–10 PM, leaving ten-minute gaps where possible. Suggestions are not AI and are not connected to Apple Calendar. You can always schedule manually; a block that overlaps an existing one is rejected.
How do repeating tasks work?
A task can repeat daily, on weekdays, or weekly. The next copy is created after you complete the current task. Editing a task changes only that copy.
What happens to the timer if I leave the app?
The timer uses timestamps, so when you reopen the app it recovers the elapsed time. Pausing stops the countdown. When a focus session is complete, it moves into a break once the app processes the completion. Ambient sound plays only while the app is active.
How do I get session alerts?
Optional local session alerts need notification permission. Turn on Session alerts in Your space. If you previously denied permission, go to iPhone Settings > Notifications > Task & Pause.
Are the Insights charts tracking me?
No. Insights are 7, 30 and 90-day summaries calculated on your device. They are not third-party analytics.
What counts as a streak day?
Completing a non-rest task, or saving at least one minute of focus. You can hide streaks in Your space.
What can I personalize?
Choose from four themes — Lavender Bloom, Rose Glow, Sage Morning and Blue Hour — and set default focus and break lengths, a daily goal, sound volume, artwork motion and haptics.
How do I back up and restore?
Open Your space with the profile/settings icon on Today. Export a backup there as a JSON file; you choose where it is saved. Backups include tasks, saved sessions, check-ins, reflections and preferences — running timers are not included. Restoring replaces your current data, so export first if you want to keep it. Data can’t be restored without an existing backup.
How do I erase my data?
Erase all app data in Your space clears the current app data and settings; this can’t be undone in the app. Exported backups must be deleted separately from wherever you saved them. Deleting the app removes its local data; device backups can be managed in iOS settings.
