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
Best app for Focusing
I’ve tried many alternatives but I think I’ve found the right app for me to help me focus on my tasks. Love the super strict mode feature, helps me lock into my daily work!

Works well, does its job, but can be buggy.
A Promising App for Building and Sticking to Routines
I’ve had a really positive experience with FocusBear so far. It’s been genuinely helpful in shaping and fixing my daily routine, and the reminders do a great job of pulling me back on track whenever I drift. I’ve only been using the app for about two days, but even in that short time it’s made a noticeable difference.
The layout feels clean and intuitive, which makes it easy to get started without feeling overwhelmed. I’m mainly focused on improving my current routine, and the app fits that purpose well. That said, I think the quick breaks feature has room to be improved or expanded to make it even more effective.
I’m still getting familiar with all the features, but I’d definitely recommend FocusBear to anyone who wants to build better routines and actually stick to them. After a few days of use, once everything starts to click, the app becomes really handy and helps make each day feel just a little more productive and better than the last.

A genuinely helpful app especially for ADHD!!!
Focus Bear has quickly become one of the most effective productivity apps I’ve used. It’s clear this app was designed by people who actually understand how hard focus and consistency can be, especially if you have ADHD.
I love how it combines distraction blocking with gentle, real-time habit guidance instead of just timers and to-do lists. The morning routines help me start the day with intention, and the smart breaks make it easier to stay in deep work without burning out. Blocking distractions across devices is a game changer, and it feels supportive rather than restrictive.
What really sets Focus Bear apart is how human it feels- encouraging, structured, and realistic. It doesn’t try to shame you into productivity; it helps you build better habits at your own pace.
Highly recommend!!!

Good for people with ADHD
This app is great for habit building, activity schedules and creating organic discipline. I like the app blocking feature a lot. A tutorial to the app would be handy as there is a lot that can be missed out on.
A great app to build good habits and be productive
I have loved using Focus Bear as it has been super helpful for managing my ADHD. The guided routines make it so much easier to start tasks and the distraction blocking feature helps reduce procrastination and checking apps when I’m trying to focus on doing my work. I also like that it encourages taking breaks and tracks my progress which is really good at providing me with the motivation to stay on task. Overall , I think it provides a really good structure for daily tasks and it’s great for trying to build better habits to be more productive in a day.

Very cool app
Good to have as an additional tool for forming healthy routines and habits
Kind of broken
I want to love it, but it doesn’t seem to want to adhere to reasonable routine times. It sets my evening routine to 3 AM no matter what I do, and I just don’t understand why.
Helping You Stay Focused in a World Full of Distractions
Focus Bear has been a genuinely impactful app for me. Using it helped me step away from constant social media use and made me more aware of how often I was mindlessly scrolling. Over time, I started recognising when to avoid these habits, something I feel many people my age struggle with without even realising how much time gets consumed by online distractions. The app helped me create a much-needed mental reset and spend my time more intentionally on other activities.
The focus session restrictions are especially effective. In strict mode, the app prevents access to selected distracting apps until a goal is completed, which works as a strong and timely reminder to stay on track. It also supported me in building a daily routine, something I previously struggled with due to poor time awareness and lack of structured planning.
I believe this app has helped me regain a sense of control over how I use my time and attention, which I now truly value.
I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking to reduce their dependence on social media and regain focus.
In a world where algorithms are designed purely to maximise engagement, often without regard for the quality of content we consume, Focus Bear feels like a practical and empowering tool to stay mindful, focused, and consistent with personal goals.

Thank you Focus bear
Focus Bear really helped me build back my schedule.
Great for focus and daily habits
This app has been super helpful in helping me stay on track with habits and tasks! It does it in a way which doesn’t feel too overwhelming and i love the feature which blocks other apps as it genuinely helps me not get distracted. The routines are easy to follow and the app feels extremely user friendly.

Best app for Focusing

Feedback
Advantage: I appreciate the intensity-escalating notifications for being late (“Late No More”) — they actually wake me up to the fact I’m behind schedule instead of a quiet ping that I ignore.
Disadvantage: Because the app does require you to commit to routines and blocks, if I’m already feeling low motivation or tired the friction to launch it can feel like “one more thing” instead of help.

Feedback
Advantage: The "Smart Break" feature nudges me when I've been hyper-focused and reminds me to take a break — which is helpful because I often forget to do that.
Disadvantage: The reward system is cute and motivates me initially, but I find that over time the novelty wears off and I don't feel as driven by it.

Feedback
Advantage: The blocking feature works even when I accidentally open a distracting tab - it forces me back, and that's actually helpful Disadvantage: There were a few bugs / crashes reported by me or other users (especially early versions) which made me lose trust.
Feedback
Advantage: The routine customization means I can tailor the app to my style rather than adapting myself to a rigid system.
Disadvantage: The price/subscription model felt a bit high for me personally given how much l actually used some features.
