The same laptop is your office at 10am and your living room at 10pm. Without boundaries, an evening of browsing drags down the score of a perfectly good workday — and the number stops meaning anything. Working hours fix that.

Setting it up

Go to Settings → Tracking → Working Hours and set a start and end time. That's it — the setting syncs with your account, so it follows you across machines.

What changes

Your Focus Score covers only your working hours. The Dashboard ring gets a small "Work hours" label so you always know what you're looking at. That 9pm YouTube session? Recorded, but no longer part of your workday's grade.

Analytics gets a Time scope selector: Work hours, Off hours, or All day. The same charts, three different questions — how was my workday, what do my evenings look like, and everything combined.

Nothing is hidden. When activity falls outside the current scope, a notice tells you exactly how much — "2h of activity fell outside your working hours" — with a one-click switch to see the full day.

Working hours vs. the Personal category

These two solve different problems, and they're better together:

Working hours scope the when: everything outside the window is off the books for your score.

The [Personal category](/guide/focus-score) marks the what: your banking app is personal at 2pm too, and marking it Personal keeps it out of the score even mid-workday.

Who should use this

If your machine is work-only from nine to five and off at night, you may not need it. But if you're a freelancer with odd hours, a student mixing study and life on one laptop, or anyone whose evenings live on the same screen as their job — this is the single setting that makes your Focus Score tell the truth about work.
