Hours that count. Suma is activity rings for your work hours. Start a timer, pick a category, and watch your ring fill toward the target you set. Close the ring and the day is won. THE IDEA: REAL WORK FILLS THE RING Log everything — but only your real work fills the ring. Gym, chores, and errands stay visible without stealing from your goal. Everything is tracked; only what truly counts closes the day. YOUR TARGET, YOUR RULES You decide how many hours close a day and how many days win the week — and you win on whichever days you choose. A flexible week, not a fragile streak, so one slow day never guilts you into quitting. BETTER WITH A PARTNER Invite one person and you each see the other's ring fill live — a partner, a cofounder, a study buddy, someone building something too. No leaderboards, no pressure. Just two people showing up, and a quiet nudge when one of you closes the day. KEY FEATURES: • LIVE RINGS – Start, stop, and switch categories; your ring fills as you work. • CATEGORIES THAT COUNT – Mark which work fills the ring and which is just logged. • YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE – See the days you won and how close you are to your weekly goal. • PARTNER UP (OPTIONAL) – Pairing is never required, never a wall. • LIVE ACTIVITIES – Keep an eye on your running timer right on your Lock Screen. • ENGLISH & SPANISH – Suma speaks your phone's language natively. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN – No ads, no trackers, and we never sell your data. • FULL CONTROL – Delete your account anytime, instantly, right in the app. Suma is free. Start on your own in thirty seconds; add a partner whenever you're ready.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Suma at none against Progress's 3. Suma also leads on ads (none vs shown). Progress's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
