You ended today feeling busy.
But were you productive?
Screen Time says you used Safari for 4 hours. But was that deep research or doom-scrolling? Most people can't answer that question. Focus Meter can.
From guessing to knowing.

“I feel guilty but can’t quantify it”
“My focus score went from 62 to 78 this month”
