Introducing manual pause/resume for focus sessions, 7 beautiful color themes, redesigned unlimited focus mode with continuous background tracking, and improved UI.
#New Release v1.0.258: Pause Sessions, Color Themes & Enhanced Unlimited Tracking
We're excited to announce iTracksy v1.0.258 with highly requested features that make your productivity tracking more flexible and personalized than ever!
#What's New
#1. Manual Pause & Resume for Focus Sessions
Finally, you can pause your focus sessions!
We heard your feedback - sometimes you need to step away briefly without ending your entire session. Now you have full control:
New pause button lets you take breaks without losing your session progress
#How It Works
- PAUSE: Click to pause your session when you need a quick break
- RESUME: Continue right where you left off
- Time Excluded: Paused time is automatically excluded from your session duration
- Visual Indicator: Clear "PAUSED" indicator shows when your session is on hold
#Key Benefits
- Take urgent calls without ending your focus session
- Handle quick interruptions gracefully
- Your productivity stats remain accurate - paused time doesn't count
- Works for both Focus and Break sessions
#2. Redesigned Unlimited Focus Mode
Track your work all day, effortlessly.
We've completely redesigned the Unlimited Focus mode to make it more visible and easier to use:
Clear mode selector: Choose between Timed sessions or Unlimited tracking
#New Mode Selector
Instead of a small toggle, you now have two clear options:
- Timed - Set a specific duration for your focus session
- Unlimited - Track continuously throughout the day
#Continuous Background Tracking
When you select Unlimited mode, you'll see a helpful description explaining:
- Runs silently in the background
- Auto-starts with app if enabled in System Settings
- Tracks all your activities throughout the day
- Stop manually when you're done working
Perfect for:
- Remote workers who want to track their entire workday
- Freelancers billing by the hour
- Anyone who wants automatic time tracking without managing sessions
#3. Improved UI & User Experience
#Cleaner Action Buttons
We've streamlined the active session buttons:
- +5 MIN - Extend your session (hidden for unlimited sessions)
- PAUSE - New pause/resume toggle
- STOP - End your session
Removed the redundant CLOCK button for a cleaner interface.
#Break Sessions Update
- Removed "Unlimited" option for breaks (it didn't make sense - breaks should have a duration!)
- More compact, consistent design matching the Focus tab
- Maximum break duration reduced to 1 hour for practicality
#4. Beautiful Color Themes
Choose from 7 stunning color themes to personalize your workspace
Express yourself with 7 carefully crafted color themes:
| Theme | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Natural | Calm slate blue - balanced and professional | Focus, Professional work |
