FOCUS DOESN'T HAVE TO FEEL SO HARD Ever open a productivity app... and close it a few minutes later? Ever feel stuck between procrastination and burnout? Ever wish focus felt calmer, cozier, and easier to begin? Puff was created for people who struggle with pressure, distraction, and overwhelming routines. Especially adults with ADHD - or anyone who finds it hard to simply start. WHAT IS PUFF Puff is a cozy focus companion and cognitive training app designed for ADHD-friendly productivity. Instead of pushing long sessions or strict routines, Puff helps you begin with short, science-backed mini-games built around a 5-minute dopamine loop. Just 5 minutes. One small win. A complete sense of closure - every single time. As you focus, your little cloud companion grows with you. WHY FOCUS CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING Many productivity apps accidentally create more stress. Too many tasks Too much pressure Too much guilt after missing a day Motivation that disappears before you even begin For many people, focus is not just about discipline. It's about emotional resistance, mental overload, dopamine-driven habits, and the fear of failing again. Puff was designed to feel different. 5 COGNITIVE MINI-GAMES Each game is a simplified version of a clinically validated cognitive paradigm - designed to fit inside 5 minutes. Star Hunter : Sustained attention and impulse inhibition Memory Library : Working memory and information manipulation Puzzle Master : Pattern recognition and fluid intelligence River Tracker : Sustained attention under distraction Stoplight : Inhibitory control and response suppression HOW PUFF HELPS Start with simple 5-minute focus sessions Build momentum without pressure or guilt Train real cognitive skills through calm, purposeful play Discover your constellations - no scores, no levels, just starlight Track your growth: today vs. yesterday, at your own pace Reduce procrastination with tiny actions that actually feel good Build sustainable focus habits over time DISCOVER YOUR CONSTELLATIONS No leaderboards. No lifetime score counters. Just quiet progress. As you play, you accumulate starlight - and with it, you uncover real constellations one by one. From Lyra to Sagittarius. It's not a reward system. It's a record of showing up. NO FAILURE. NO PUNISHMENT. Your companion does not judge you. Missing a day does not erase your progress. Puff never says you failed. It says: "Today was just a different kind of day." And it waits - again and again - for whenever you're ready to return. WHO PUFF IS FOR Adults with ADHD People struggling with procrastination Anyone overwhelmed by traditional productivity apps Students and workers who can't "just focus" People looking for calm, sustainable cognitive training Cozy game lovers who want a little warmth while they focus WHY PUFF FEELS DIFFERENT Most productivity apps try to push you harder. Puff helps you start smaller. Because sometimes the hardest part is not finishing. It's beginning. START SMALL One breath. One 5-minute session. One tiny step. Your brain does not need more pressure. It may just need a softer place to begin. Start your focus quest with Puff. Grow alongside your cozy cloud companion. And rediscover what focus can feel like - calmer, gentler, and entirely your own.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Puff at free with in-app purchases against Numo's subscription. Puff also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 56%). Numo's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Numo sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Puff sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
