I love this app but I wish I could pause / stop my schedule for let’s say several days if I finished my work for the week without having to go in and edit the schedule and turn it off for the days I don’t want to use it. Or if I could skip days without needing to remember to turn them on for the next week.

Vacation mode for the focus time

Thank you for sharing this. I merged it with an existing thread on the topic.

Any chance of implementing a quick tick box holiday mode setting to turn it all off.

I wish that I could toggle the schedules I have on and off instead of choosing days and unselecting all of the days for occasions like vacation. When I unselect all of the days, the schedule automatically deletes itself and I have to set it up again. I’d rather be able to turn it off for a day like I can alarms on my phone (like I do a one-off holiday I don’t have work) before that occasion and then be able to turn it back on when I re-set my alarms for the next day. It would be so much more handy and would be great to have a bunch of pre-set schedules that I turn on and off depending on what that day holds for me!!

I’ll plus one and expand on this. I primarily use this for work. If I finish early, there’s no need to keep the session going (I work primarily on a project based team). So if I’ve finished for the day I’d like to “end a session” early. I guess that’s not exactly the same as this but I do have a day off soon and I’m supposing I’ll have to delete my session entirely during that.

Which thread i want to upvote this 1000!! I need to turn off and be able to use my apps to travel but I have to completely delete and recreate all seven daily sessions!!!

Makes a ton of sense.
We have a test running right now (it’s an AB test so you might not see it) where we should you this if you delete a session:

We plan to make this better ASAP.

This is released to everyone!

It would be great to have a vacation switch. Which lets you select days wherer the sessions will be disabled. Instead of having to disable all of them manually. I recently went on vacation and had to uninstall the app because of this. The worst part is that i lost all my existing sessions and app groups created. Which makes me lose motivation to continue using the app.

Thnx!:raised_hands:t3:

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out! We do have a vacation mode, and I’ve merged your request into the existing thread about this subject:

I hope that helps,

That makes a lot of sense, a pause or vacation mode would save the hassle of editing schedules just for a few days. It’d keep things simple and consistent. Do you think it’d work better as a quick toggle for a set number of days, or more like a calendar option where you pick the exact dates?

Nice feature idea vacation mode would really simplify things. One thing I had love to see: integration with services I use on holidays. For example if I am on vacation and also using a different services example like Bnlbosyonlimo ride share chauffeur it had be handy if the app could auto pause focus sessions or notifications while I am on the move or in transit.

This is a super useful feature idea — being able to pause, snooze, or schedule sessions ahead would help many users manage their time more flexibly. It’d be great to see a “vacation mode” option that suspends notifications or tasks without losing progress. By the way, I was thinking about logistics recently and came across a service in San Diego for rides and planning. Have you given thought to how you’d like the interface for this to work — e.g. whether it should activate automatically based on dates or be manually toggled?

Here to upvoter vacation mode but please release this for Androids! Love the app but disappointing to see the vacation mode feature isn’t available to me.
Hoping it is released soon
