Focus Modes Update (v5.1.0)

Published May 31, 2026

Focus Modes adds DND integration so CogniFocus can silence phone interruptions during sessions, plus Savage Mode for Pro users, cleaner Shield target setup, and more reliable time-of-day greetings.

Why this matters

Focus Modes (v5.1.0) adds real OS-level control to your sessions. DND Focus Mode lets CogniFocus ask Android to silence calls and notifications during a focus block, not just block apps. That means fewer interruptions without needing to manually toggle Do Not Disturb before every session.

Savage Mode is for Pro users who want less softening in the app's feedback. The Goblin does not pull punches when this is on.

Shield got a small but useful fix: the app-picker now lives inside the Targets Missing card directly so the setup flow has one fewer step. First-session walkthroughs are cleaner and the time-of-day greetings now fire more reliably.
