  2. UI/Font Scale

  4. Display Language

    Choose the language you want to use. FocusLeaf currently supports English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and German.

Window Close Action

If you choose Minimize to Tray, closing the main window keeps FocusLeaf running and leaves an icon in the taskbar tray so that you can reopen it at any time. If you choose Close Window, the interface closes completely whenever you close it.

This does not affect active plans. Any plan that is currently active keeps enforcing blocking.

First Day of the Week / Start Time of the Day

Choose these based on your own routine. They affect how time-related information is displayed and when Usage Limit or Reward resets.

For example, if Sunday is the first day of the week, the start time of the day is 2:00 AM, and you use a weekly Usage Limit of 1 hour, then the weekly reset happens every Sunday at 2:00 AM.

Show All Modes Remaining Time

This option controls whether the plan panel shows progress for break modes, lock modes, and weekly active schedule windows.

When you hover over a strategy button, FocusLeaf can show the detailed allowance balance and time progress. If this option is disabled, only Timer Mode progress is shown.

Once this option is turned off while a plan is locked, it cannot be turned back on until the lock ends.
