Windows 11 also introduces an updated version of the Clock app (formerly known as “Alarms & Clock”) that includes some interesting new features and changes that make the experience more useful.

The Clock app has a new design experience that matches the style we now see around Windows 11 with rounded corners and a transparent look. Like the previous version, you can set timers, configure alarms, use the stopwatch, and configure different clocks to display times worldwide.

The app also includes a “Focus sessions” feature designed to introduce a new way for you to focus on specific tasks.
It integrates with the Microsoft To Do app and the Spotify service to let you create start sessions playing your favorite tunes to keep your focus to get the work done. The feature also includes automatic breaks, and the session information will be recorded in the Daily progress widget.
