Focus Dew is a habit tracker and focus timer made for ADHD brains. If any of these sound familiar, it was built for you: "One missed day and I give up." Streak freezes keep your streak alive automatically: 1 per habit each month, 3 with Premium. "I forget until it's too late." One calm morning reminder lists today's habits, and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep them in sight. "I can't get started." Starter habits set you up in seconds, and Pomodoro sprints break big tasks into short, doable blocks. "I lose track of time." Live Activities keep your timer on the Lock Screen, and you can run several timers at once. "My phone keeps pulling me away." Deep Focus locks the apps that distract you until your session ends. "Nothing ever feels like progress." Celebrations at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days make your wins visible. Premium More streak freezes, advanced session controls, unlimited timers, premium sounds, deeper insights and no ads.
