Hard work,
honestly recorded.

Endured records focus sessions. The gradient deepens as the session does. Tap End when you're done — and the record stays as it was.

Coming soon to the App Store

The idea

Most focus apps want to coach you. Streaks to defend. Daily goals. Encouraging notifications when you've fallen behind. Animations that celebrate completed Pomodoros. Productivity scores aggregated across weeks and months.

Endured doesn't do any of that. The premise is much smaller — that the work itself is the point, and the most a tool should do is sit with you while you do it, then write down what happened.

You tap Begin. A gradient fills the screen, the lightest stage. As the minutes accumulate the gradient deepens — Stone at ten, Slate at twenty‑five, Graphite at fifty, Iron at ninety. You tap End when you're done. The session is saved as it was: duration, depth reached, the date. If you stopped early, that's the record. If you went long, that's the record too.

No streaks. No daily goals. No notifications. No productivity score. Sessions can sync to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes, if you allow it. The rest stays on your phone.

The app

The Tonight screen, mid-session, with a Slate-stage gradient backdrop and the elapsed time in large serif type. — *Tonight — the live record. The gradient deepens as the session does.*

The History screen, showing past sessions grouped by day with stage chips and elapsed times. — *History — a ledger of every session, finished or broken.*

The lock screen showing an active Endured session as a Live Activity, with the gradient backdrop and live-ticking elapsed time. — *Live Activity — lock the phone. The session continues.*

Also

The five-stage Bone-to-Iron gradient, shown as a continuous vertical band.

The gradient.

Sessions deepen visually as they run — Bone for the first ten minutes, then Stone, Slate, Graphite, Iron at ninety. Five stages, one continuous transition.

A history detail showing a broken session displayed with the same dignity as a finished one.

Honest by default.

Broken sessions count, with equal weight. There are no streaks, no goals, no goading notifications. The record is what happened, not what should have.

Synced to Apple Health.

Every completed session writes to Mindful Minutes. Opt in once; the system handles the rest. Endured never reads from Health — it only writes.

Entirely on your device.

No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Your data never leaves the phone it's on.

Made by

Endured is designed, built, and supported by one person — Kurt Klein — in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. It's the fourth app from KSQ Studios, after Minuted, Winnowed, and Eclipsed.
