Bento - A New Focus

Bento has been updated to offer a lot more than the original version. The gamification of streaks promotes regular use and insight into one’s habits. The suggestions are really useful to block similar tasks together. The latest update makes Bento well polished and I really do appreciate the new themes and background music. Thank you for being awesome!

Beautiful, but pushy

The app is gorgeous but they really push you hard to subscribe before you've even got to see the demo/free version, and they hit you with emotional manipulations too. Really cheapens the experience.

Used to be great

This used to be great. Then they moved to a subscription model and added a lot of distracting stuff. The app used to be good because of its simplicity. Now it became cluttered. I don’t need it to suggest that I drink green tea. I guess I’m back with the Forest app.

White noise everywhere and the audios dont loop automatically

I have to keep pressing the play button if i want the “lofi” ir any other sound during the session

Paid for this now it requires a subscription

I don’t want a subscription just make me pay 20 dollars to have it forever! Considering I already paid for it I think that’s a reasonable request!!!
