Focus timer live activity
A focus timer live activity for iOS, shown on the lock screen while a session runs. It carries the countdown, which cycle the user is on, what they are working on, and elapsed time for the day. Use it for focus apps, time tracking, and any product where a session runs in the background. Wire it to your timer via Bolt, Lovable, or Replit.
About this app template
A focus timer only works if checking it does not break focus, which makes the lock screen exactly the right place for it. This activity leads with the countdown, names the cycle so a user working in intervals knows where they are, and shows what they said they were working on, which is a quiet accountability nudge. Elapsed time for the day sits underneath for anyone tracking hours. Keep it calm, since a timer that demands attention is working against the thing it exists to protect. Paste it into Bolt, Lovable, or Replit and connect it to your session state.
Common questions about this template
Why put a focus timer on the lock screen?
Because checking the time left is the moment focus is most fragile. A glance at the lock screen costs nothing, where unlocking the phone to open an app usually ends the session.
What should a timer activity show?
The countdown first, then which cycle the user is on. Naming the task they set is a quiet nudge back to it when they picked the phone up for another reason.
Does this work for workout intervals?
Yes. The cycle counter and countdown map onto sets and rest periods without any change to the layout.
How do I connect it to a running timer?
Paste it into Bolt, Lovable, or Replit and ask your AI to drive it through ActivityKit, updating on cycle changes, not every second.
