The Calendar & Owning Your Data

Browse any day of the last 90 days title by title — and know exactly what FocusNow keeps, exports, and deletes.

Updated July 31, 2026

The Dashboard answers "how is today going?" The Calendar answers a different question: "what was I actually doing last Tuesday?"

Browsing your history

Open Calendar and you get your month at a glance: each day shows its focus, neutral, personal and distraction time right in the cell, plus a weekly total column. Click any day for the full record — led by window titles, not just app names, so "Chrome, 3 hours" becomes the actual documents, tickets and tabs your day was made of.

Looking for something specific? The day view is searchable. "When did I last work on the quarterly report?" is a search away.

The 90-day window

Days older than 90 days are greyed out on the calendar — that detailed, title-by-title data is no longer kept on your device. This is deliberate, not a limitation: an activity log is exactly the kind of data that shouldn't pile up forever. Your long-term trends stay visible in Analytics; the fine-grained daily detail expires.

Your data, your controls

Everything FocusNow knows about you sits behind four controls:

  • Exclude before it's recorded. Settings → Privacy lets you exclude any app or website from tracking entirely — excluded items are never recorded in the first place, not just hidden.
  • Delete selectively. In Activities, the ⋯ menu on any app or site includes Delete records — remove one thing's history without touching the rest.
  • Export everything. Settings → Account → Export Your Data downloads a single JSON file with your activity, sessions, profile and AI reports. No request form, no waiting period.
  • Delete everything. Delete my account in the same place permanently removes your account and all data — cloud and device. It asks you to type your email to confirm, because it can't be undone.
  • The full picture — what's collected, where it's stored, for how long — is in the privacy policy. The short version has been our promise from day one: no screenshots, no keystrokes, and you hold the delete key.
