Echo is the only accountability app you'll ever need. Most focus apps lock you out of your phone. Echo doesn't. Instead, Echo makes you aware of how often you actually reach for it, then gives your circle of friends to see when you're locked in and when you're slipping. It's accountability, not punishment. And it actually works. WHY ECHO IS DIFFERENT Echo doesn't block apps. It tracks your focus sessions, surfaces your distraction patterns, and lets the people who care about you in on the journey. Real progress comes from awareness and accountability not another wall between you and your screen. TRACK YOUR FOCUS SESSIONS Start a work session whenever you sit down to focus. Echo runs in the background and logs how long you stay locked in, and how often distractions sneak in. No nagging. No lockouts. Just an honest mirror. LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY STATS See how your focus changes across days, weeks, and months. Spot your best hours, your worst days, and the trends behind your real productivity — not just today's streak. YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY CIRCLE Invite friends to your circle and hold each other accountable. See when your people are locked in. Cheer them on. Know someone's watching when you're tempted to scroll. Studying solo just got a lot less lonely. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY WORK Whether you're a student grinding through finals, an entrepreneur building something real, an office worker fighting context switches, or someone with ADHD who needs a system that finally gets it, Echo meets you where you are. PAIRS WITH ECHO FOR MAC Most of your distractions happen at your laptop, and that's where Echo for Mac shines, it tracks every app and website you visit during a focus session, down to the minute. Sync the iPhone app with your Mac to make the most of the Echo ecosystem. FEATURES • Live focus sessions with real-time tracking • Distraction alerts and session summaries • Long-term productivity analytics • Friend circles and shared accountability • Live Activities and Lock Screen support • Voice input for fast task capture • Calendar and task management • 100% free Ready to actually focus? Build your circle and start your first session today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tiimo at 4.6 against Echo Focus's 3.0. Tiimo also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 2) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). Echo Focus's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Tiimo sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.00 per month and Echo Focus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tiimo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiimo has 21K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Tiimo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Echo Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiimo ships an update weekly, Echo Focus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
