game changer
I’ve been using Focus Bear for a while now and it’s really helped me stay organized and motivated to do healthy habits as well as complete assignments/work that i’ve been dreading to do. One feature that’s been most impactful (although there are many that I really appreciate) is the customizable blocking. This tool allows me to choose the apps/websites I want to block whenever I start a focus session or when I intend to go to bed. It lets me choose what mode of block I want; the strict or the easy mode. It’s honestly stopped so many nights of doomscrolling (my sleep schedule really appreciates it). Although this review is getting a bit long the highlight of the whole app is the focus session which sets a time for me to work and then gives me a break (with cute bear avatars that suggest the time interval at which I study that is most optimized, the Pomodoro technique for example). This isn’t related to the app but they also have a desktop version for your computer which combined with the mobile app is just chef’s kiss. One last mention is their support team. Honestly, never have I used an app or website where i’ve felt so heard as a user, it’s very easy to reach out to the team with requests for new features or feedback on their existing ones with suggestions for improvement. Overall 10/10, if I could give more stars I would.

Great app
Underestimated for sure. I think this is so much nicer than Tiimo or any other analogues focus apps for neurodivergent people. Recommend.
Recommend!
Focus Bear has really helped me stay consistent and focused. I love how it combines routines with distraction blocking — it actually helps you get things done, not just plan them. Clean UI and easy to use. Definitely recommend!
Focus Bear has genuinely helped me stay more focused and disciplined throughout the day.
I love how simple and intentional the app feels — it doesn't overwhelm you, but actually helps you build better habits step by step. The focus sessions are great for reducing distractions, and the reminders keep me accountable without being annoying. It's especially useful if you're trying to manage screen time, work more deeply, or just be more mindful with your daily routine. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be more productive without burning out.

Timing feature doesn't seem to work
As someone pointed out before, the timing feature will reset to whatever you set it as originally. I believe this can be changed via installing and uninstalling the app, however it's still frustrating
