uFocus vs Sediment

uFocus is a distraction-free writing environment that supports plain text files and allows you to keep them organized inside libraries. It allows everyone to express their creativity in the most simple way. • Unobtrusive interface: the navigation bar disappears while writing. • Swipe to show the sidebar. Here you can link your favorite libraries and quickly access your documents. • Show text statistics including character and word count and reading time. • MultiMarkdown: easily add headings, quotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, italics, bold, footnotes, citations, glossaries and acronyms. You can then export your documents to HTML or PDF. With CriticMarkup and Live Edit Mode you can easily mark removals, additions and substitutions, add highlghts and comments, and accept or reject them. • Fountain: create screenplays with the Markdown-inspired markup syntax and print or export them as PDF with industry-standard formatting. • Highlighting: you can stay even more focused by fading out all the text but the current sentence or paragraph. • Typewriter scrolling: automatically scrolls the text when you get on a new line. • Sound mode: experience the ultimate feeling of a typewriter. • No deletions mode: disable deletions and replacements if your greatest temptation is always to edit your text instead of writing. • Fullscreen: focus on your words and hide everything else. • Choose between three different editor widths, four font sizes and a light, dark, sepia or amber theme, or create your own theme. • Print single files or entire directory hierarchies.

You found something worth remembering. A line from a book. A phrase in a new language. A thought you don't want to lose. Sediment keeps it visible - quietly rotating your fragments on your Lock Screen throughout the day. No flashcards. No quizzes. No notifications. Just your own words, surfacing when you glance at your phone. How it works: - Save fragments - quotes, vocabulary, notes, affirmations — anything worth remembering - Organize them into layers (e.g. "Spanish", "Stoic Quotes", "Exam Notes") - Sediment displays them as a Live Activity on your Lock Screen or Widget on your Home Screen, rotating on the rhythm you set - A passive spaced repetition algorithm decides what to show. Over time, fragments settle through three depths - Surface, Sinking, and Bedrock - so the words you know best surface more rarely. Once a week, on Foundation Day, your deepest fragments rise back to the top. Designed to disappear: Sediment follows the principles of Calm Technology. There are no nagging push notifications, no sounds, no badges. Nothing demands your attention. Your fragments simply appear and fade — like geological layers settling over time. Features: - Continuous Lock Screen Live Activity with progress bar and countdown - no schedules, no time windows - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Strata: fragments settle through three depths over time, so the ones you know best surface more rarely - Foundation Day: a weekly day when your deepest fragments rise back to the top - Smart rotation powered by passive spaced repetition - Customizable rhythm: set how often your fragments rotate - Favorite fragments to boost their visibility and protect them from sinking - Quick Note: blazing-fast note taking directly from the Lock Screen - Full-text search across all fragments - JSON export and import - End-to-end encryption (AES-GCM) - your data stays yours - iCloud sync across all your devices - No account required. No servers. No tracking. Sediment Pro unlocks unlimited fragments. The free tier includes up to 10 fragments — enough to get started. Remembering starts with seeing. Sediment makes sure you do.
