Ad-free, versatile, and focused timing software that helps you concentrate on your work or studies. Introduction: Whenever you want to focus on a task (reading, working, preparing for exams, etc.), you can activate the "Focus Mode," and a "little flying man" will appear on the clock, moving towards your goal. If you can't resist checking your social media or playing games, unfortunately, the "little flying man" will disappear immediately, and the Focus Mode will exit (you can switch to background timing mode)... If you activate the "background timing mode," you can use other applications after setting the time, and the clock will send a reminder notification when the time is up. If you succeed in the challenge, it will be recorded in the daily focus statistics. The longer you study, the darker green the cover background on the statistics page will be. There are also surprises for successful challenges! After activating the background mode, the countdown can be displayed in Lingdong Island! Points to note: Please enable push notification permissions. After successfully completing a challenge, a message will be sent to notify you. Features: Various clock styles can be changed. Background skins can be changed. Activates the countdown mode after entering the "Focus Mode." Check your daily focus time and previous focus times.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Focus Clock at Free against Planimeter's $1.99. Focus Clock also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and review sentiment (69% vs 57%). Planimeter's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (115 vs 20). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Planimeter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planimeter has 115 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Planimeter's written reviews are positive against 69% of Focus Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Planimeter ships an update monthly, Focus Clock fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
