Focus Tower vs Focal

Most focus timers hand you a number at the end of the week. This one hands you a city. Set the timer and put the phone down. Every finished session lays another floor on your tower. Put a roof on it and the whole tower moves into a city you build — where it stands for good and pays you rent every day. BUILT ON THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE Work in one focused block, rest, repeat. Twenty-five minutes on, a short break, a longer one after four — the rhythm people have used since the 1980s, except here each block leaves a floor behind. BUILT FOR ATTENTION THAT WANDERS Starting is the hard part, so the app makes starting small: one block, 25 minutes, a reward you can see at the end of it. The shield takes the temptation off the table instead of asking you to out-argue it, and a session survives a locked screen — so a wobble costs you nothing. If you have ADHD, that is usually the combination that finally sticks. Focus comes from the rhythm, not from willpower.

Take back your focus. Block distractions. Get more done. Focal is the focus timer that actually keeps you off your phone. Set a timer, block your most distracting apps, and lock in — so you can do your best work without fighting your own device. FOCUS TIMER Start a 25-minute Pomodoro, a 50-minute deep work session, or any custom length you want. The timer runs fullscreen so your only job is to stay in it. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Focal uses Screen Time to block apps and websites the moment you start a session. Social media, games, news — gone until your timer ends. No willpower required. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your daily focus time, streak, and focus score grow as you build the habit. Small wins add up fast. QUICK START PRESETS Jump into Pomodoro, deep work, or your own custom sessions in one tap. No setup, no friction. BUILT FOR DEEP WORK Clean design with no distractions — because a focus app shouldn't be one more thing competing for your attention. Whether you're studying, writing, coding, or just trying to be more intentional with your time, Focal gives you the structure to make it happen.
