Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a system configured to provide a connected focus time experience that spans multiple different devices. The connected focus time experience is enabled via an account the user leverages to log into the multiple different devices. For instance, when the user has configured a focus mode for a focus session on a first device (e.g., a laptop device) into which the user is logged via the account, the account can be then used to identify a second device (e.g., a smartphone device) into which the user is also logged via the account. Consequently, an instruction can be provided to configure the focus mode for the focus session on the second device. The focus mode prevents notifications from being output during the focus session, so user distractions and interruptions can be avoided or limited.
