You did something good? Don't let it disappear! We're wired to remember what went wrong. The missed deadline sticks; the project you nailed last month quietly vanishes. Cookie Jar is a place to keep the good stuff. Every time you achieve something - big or small - you bake a cookie for it. Choose your dough, pick your chips, set the size to match how big the win felt, and write down what you did. Then drop it in the jar. - Watch your jar fill up Your cookies stack up in a real, physical-feeling jar. Tap it and they tumble and settle. Swipe between jars as your collection grows. It's not a list you'll never scroll back through — it's a pile of evidence that you've been doing well, right there on your screen. - Make each cookie yours Chocolate or buttery dough. Chocolate chips or rainbow. Small for a quiet everyday win, huge for the one you'll still be proud of next year. After a while you'll recognize your own achievements just by looking at them. - Little reminders, when you want them Turn on gentle nudges - one, two, or three a day - and Cookie Jar will surface something you already accomplished. Not another task. Not another thing you're behind on. Just a small "hey, remember when you did this?" - Relive any win Tap a cookie to open it up and read what earned it. And when you're ready to let one go, you can always eat it. - Simple, private, quiet No accounts. No feeds. No followers. No streaks to break or scores to chase. Your jar is yours, and nobody else is looking in it. -- Finished the thing you'd been dreading? Went for a run? Said no when you needed to? Called your mum? Fixed the bug? Got out of bed on a hard day? They all count! Bake a cookie! -- Terms of Service: https://cookiesjar.app/cjtos.html Privacy Policy: https://cookiesjar.app/cjpp.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cookie Jar at none against Focus Quest's shown. Focus Quest's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
