Why this matters
Focus Expansion: Sharper Control (v4.0.0) is one of those tidy-up releases that does not need a parade, but it still helps the app feel less fussy. Small fixes matter here because CogniFocus is supposed to get out of your way fast. Tap in, start the thing, dodge the scroll spiral, continue your tiny heroic quest. That is the whole deal.
- Manual Block adds stronger control outside sessions gets a little more room to breathe.
- Session objectives are visible and used in reactions gets a little more room to breathe.
- You can adjust a session mid-focus without restarting gets a little more room to breathe.
- Smarter focus guidance adds drift and burnout nudges gets a little more room to breathe.
So yes, this is a smaller note. The point is still real: fewer weird little moments, clearer feedback, and less friction between you and the session you meant to start. The Goblin may still be dramatic about it, obviously, but the app should feel calmer where it counts.
