1. Why did we build Toggl Focus?

Most of us spend our days juggling too much, guessing how long things will take, and then blaming ourselves when the math doesn’t add up.

That’s the trap. Plans aren’t plans – they’re guesses.

So we built Toggl Focus. Not just a new name. Not just a faster, more powerful, easier version of what came before. It’s a tool that grounds planning in reality – with time tracking built in.

Because when you see the truth about your time, you make better choices. And when you make better choices, the work gets better too.

Toggl Plan was good. Toggl Focus is better. We rebuilt it for you, and we hope you enjoy it. Let us know!

2. Will Toggl Plan go away completely? Why not keep both Toggl Plan and Toggl Focus?

Toggl Plan will remain available for a while to ensure all users can transition to Toggl Focus smoothly and without losing their key workflows. This won’t happen overnight — account owners will be notified well in advance, once we’re confident that users are getting real value from Toggl Focus.

Our goal is to deliver a better overall planning experience — something that wasn’t fully possible within Toggl Plan’s current setup.

With Toggl Focus, we’re overcoming those limitations and introducing the next generation of planning — more powerful, flexible, and designed for how individuals and teams actually work. We’re bringing the best of Toggl Plan and making it even better.

3. What will happen to my Toggl Plan account?

In line with in-app and email communication we’ll send your way in advance, you will be redirected to Toggl Focus when accessing Toggl Plan. You’re already able to do it before the specified date if you wish. Just log in here with your Toggl Plan credentials, import your data and make Toggl Focus your default planning tool.

Want to switch back to Toggl Plan? You can do that – but since Toggl Focus offers a more powerful and simpler experience, we hope you’ll soon move your workflow here.

Important: Your Toggl Focus and Toggl Plan data won’t sync – you can only import your data from Toggl Plan to Toggl Focus.

4. How can I access my billing details?

Your billing details for Toggl Plan will remain accessible. Even if you choose Toggl Focus as your default planning tool, every time admins and users who are owners of more than one workspace log in to plan.toggl.com, they will have the option to stay in Toggl Plan, where they can view the billing page.

5. Can I try Toggl Focus without making it the default planner?

Yes, you can try out Toggl Focus without setting it as your default tool prior to your redirect date. While it will eventually be replaced by it, Toggl Plan will remain available for a while to ensure everyone can transition smoothly and without disrupting their workflows.

6. Can I switch to Toggl Focus fully before the redirect date?

You can!

  • If you’re using Toggl Plan on your own, log in to Toggl Focus and choose to make Toggl Focus your default planning tool.
  • If you’re using Toggl Plan with your team: Only admins can make Toggl Focus the default planning tool for your team prior to the redirect date. Once they do, your entire team will be redirected to Toggl Focus when they log in to Toggl Plan. Admins and owners will still be able to access Toggl Plan.

7. How can I access my billing details?

Your billing details for Toggl Plan will remain accessible. Even if you choose Toggl Focus as your default planning tool, every time admins and users who are owners of more than one workspace log in to plan.toggl.com, they will have the option to stay in Toggl Plan, where they can view the billing page.

8. What happens to my existing tasks, projects, and timelines?

All your existing data will remain accessible in Toggl Plan. If you choose to import it to Toggl Focus, keep in mind:

  • All active projects, tasks, milestones, and client information are brought over with a quick data import.
  • The import is not a continuous sync between Toggl Plan and Toggl Focus.

9. How will the switch work for teams?

If the workspace owner sets Toggl Focus as the team’s default tool prior to the redirect date, or on the announced switch date, the entire team will access Toggl Focus when logging in to Toggl Plan. The workspace owner will remain the same. All Toggl Plan admins will be brought over to Toggl Focus as Workspace Managers, and users will be Workspace Users. Learn more about the different roles here.

10. Are there new features in Toggl Focus?

We’re adding plenty of new features to help you become an even better planner. Here are a few highlights:

  • Calendar view for more precise planning and time blocking.
  • Cross-project boards: single Board view for all projects with filtering options. In Toggl Plan, all boards are project-specific.
  • Built-in time tracking, which helps you see whether what you planned matches what you actually spent. No more switching between a tracker and a planner — it all comes together in Toggl Focus.
  • Add up to 5 subtasks to your tasks.
  • Reporting functionalities with detailed breakdown charts for project, client and task status. Understand where time and effort is spent.

And a lot more is coming up to help you plan, track and deliver with clarity. Share your feedback in comments below to help shape the future of the product!

11. Will anything be missing from Toggl Plan?

Most key Toggl Plan features are available in Toggl Focus, see a comparison table here. However, some smaller features are not yet available such as adding attachments to tasks and ghost and guest roles. We’ll let you know as soon as the same or similar features become available in Toggl Focus.

12. Do I need to pay more for Toggl Focus?

No – you won’t be charged extra. Your access to features and price point will remain the same as they are in Toggl Plan. If you’d like to upgrade to unlock even more value, you’ll have the option to do so after Dec 1, 2025. You’ll also enjoy full access to all features available in Toggl Focus until Dec 1, 2025.

13. Do I need to do anything to prepare?

A few quick steps can make your trying out Toggl Focus even smoother:

  • Archive old or unused projects you don’t want to import from Toggl Plan
  • Get a head start before the migration by logging into Toggl Focus with your Toggl Plan credentials
  • Find onboarding guides for solo users, team admins, and end users here.
  • Share your feedback in the comments below — we’re listening and continuously improving Toggl Focus to make it better for you.

14. Is my data secure during the switch?

Yes. The migration complies with Toggl’s privacy and security standards (ISO-certified, GDPR-compliant).

15. How can I switch back to Toggl Plan?

Once Toggl Focus has been set as your default planning tool, you can switch back to Toggl Plan from Settings → Toggl Focus Preferences and Settings. This will revert your whole organization back to Toggl Plan, and you can move back to Toggl Focus when you’re ready.

  • If you’re working solo, you will be directed to Toggl Plan automatically when logging in.

  • If you work in a team, once you set Toggl Plan back to being your default planner, your entire team will be directed to Toggl Plan.

16. Where can I get help during the switch?

Our team is working hard to make Toggl Focus an all-in-one planning and tracking tool that supports your workflows without interruptions. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us get there – please share your thoughts so our team can bring improvements and ensure a smooth transition for you!

Hi Toggl team,

since Oct 28, 2025, our Toggl Plan has stopped working. We’re still paying customers, and our team relies on Plan for day-to-day project management. Unfortunately, the new Toggl Focus doesn’t meet our needs, the simplicity and ease-of-use of Plan seem lost for our workflows, so continuing with Focus is not an option for us.

When will plan be accessible again?

Sorry to read that, Sebastian.

I hope we won’t be in the same boat. We tried the new Toggl Focus too, and even though we wanted to like it, the extra features don’t add value for our team (they actually add clutter). We absolutely LOVE Toggl Plan and have been using it for years—after extensive research before choosing it. We use it effortlessly every day and can’t afford to suddenly lose access to it. Hope you guys get your access back quickly! I know the Toggl team cares and will be listening.

@Sebastian_Hemetsberg you should be able to revert back to Plan still, we didn’t force a migration, we displayed a heads up overlay that would redirect you to Focus in 5s unless you cancel but you should still be able to go to https://plan.toggl.com/ and access plan, when you see this again just cancel:

@RickGi, the same applies to you and all other Plan users. You can still use Plan; migrating to Focus is entirely voluntary for the time being.

We would appreciate any feedback you have on why Focus didn’t work for you, and what makes it feel cluttered compared to Plan? Which specific features/views are in the way instead of adding value? Focus is still in beta, and we are actively monitoring user feedback and working on improvements.

@Support

We currently use Toggl Plan for capacity planning, and it fulfills that purpose effectively — it’s simple and straightforward.

We do not need a tool that helps us focus by adding steps like comparing planned vs. actual time or starting timers to track what we did versus what we intended to do. Also, for instance, if we want to use a Pomodoro timer, we can do that independently without integrating it into our planning tool.

From what we’ve seen, Toggl Focus does not improve or extend Toggl Plan in terms of capacity planning. Instead, it introduces an additional layer of complexity — asking us to adopt a more sophisticated “focusing” method that, paradoxically, does not help us focus.

In short, Toggl Focus adds unwanted steps to our workflow rather than simplifying it.
