Autofocus

Autofocus connects your active Todo list to your Focus, so whenever you complete your Focus, it is replaced with the next item in your Todo list. This is a great way to progress without being distracted by other tasks.

Autofocus also works with Momentum's 3rd-party Todo integrations, so you can use Autofocus to fly through tasks from your other favorite providers: Asana, Todoist, Trello, Microsoft To-Do, GitHub, Google Tasks, BitBucket, and Basecamp 3.

Autofocus is exclusively available to Momentum Plus members. Upgrade to Plus today to start using this feature, and all of the other exclusive Plus member benefits!
