Frequently Asked Questions

How does the companion level up?The companion gains XP equal to the minutes you spend in active focus sessions. Each 90 XP levels up the companion, causing it to grow and sprout leaves.
Are focus logs synced across my devices?No. Because Focus Lab prioritizes privacy, all logs, tasks, and companion progress are saved locally to your current browser only.
