Exocus vs Focus Tomato 2

Exocus is a pixel-art, gamified focus timer app. Here, your focus is no longer boring, repetitive, or meaningless because every moment of your focus will transform your very own planet. Do you struggle with staying motivated when you commit to doing something valuable in the long run, like learning new words, practicing an instrument, working out, or mastering a new language? Initially, you're full of enthusiasm, but soon, your passion wanes. Memorizing words becomes a chore, the instrument is neglected, workouts turn into a burden, and progress in the new language stalls... You start doubting yourself: “Maybe I just don’t have what it takes to stick with long-term commitments.” That’s not true! Let us explain the real reasons. ● Lack of Immediate Rewards: You understand the long-term value of these tasks, but how much does this half-hour of focus matter right now? ● Repetition Leads to Boredom: When the initial novelty wears off, the repetitive nature of the task can make you feel bored and tired. ● Overly Negative Focus: Focusing on what you haven't accomplished rather than acknowledging what you have done can lead to negative self-evaluation and loss of motivation. Let Exocus Help You! ====== Exocus Solutions ====== Exocus is a gamified focus timer that visualizes your concentration as a planet's evolution, helping you achieve long-term, pain-free focus. ● Emotional Design and Sense of Meaning After each focus session, you’ll see the story of what happened to your planet during that time. Even five minutes of focus equals 38.53 million years of evolution for your planet, so your focus is crucial. Want to raise the stakes? You can enable “Hardcore Mode,” where failing to focus might cause your planet to be destroyed! ● Stage-Based Incentives Short-term Incentives: After each focus session, the planet’s landscape changes and tells you its story. Medium-term Incentives: After several hours of focus, the planet undergoes more significant transformations, like forming magma, oceans, and land. Long-term Incentives: After around ten hours of focus, the planet completes its evolution. You can then add it to your star system, with each project corresponding to a star system, showcasing your long-term accumulation in that project. ● Continuous Freshness We offer hundreds of unique planet designs, satisfying your curiosity and desire to collect with constant surprises. See a planet's full appearance only after evolving it through focused efforts.

A retro Pomodoro timer that does not push too hard. No tasks, no achievements, no leaderboards. Just something to help you get through one 25-minute session at a time. The original Focus Tomato earned a 4.9 / 5.0 rating, 27,000+ reviews worldwide, and multiple Apple editorial features. Focus Tomato 2 keeps the same spirit, now with focus tags, iCloud sync, and richer stats. Focus Tomato 2 is made to help you stay focused without feeling trapped. It helps you face the real work, keep going longer, and still leave room to breathe. Finish things gracefully, close the tomato, and enjoy your actual time off. — Q: You study for hours, but still feel like you are falling behind? A: Break time into 25-minute sessions, sit down, and ease yourself into focus. The Pomodoro method is simple: reduce distractions, lower procrastination, and make it easier to start and keep going. Q: You work hard for a few days, then lose momentum? A: Use a rhythm of 25 minutes of focus and 5 minutes of rest, so you do not burn yourself out all at once. Focus is not about forcing yourself to the end. Rest well, and you can go further. Q: You want to learn something outside school or work, but cannot keep it going? A: Focus Tomato helps you set aside dedicated time for long-term goals, then track them clearly with tags. Use tags like “content creation,” “design study,” or “exam prep” to track courses, video editing, reading plans, and more. One or two tomatoes a day can help long-term goals slowly add up, instead of being swallowed by small daily chores. — Core features: 1. No forced stop, so your flow can continue Many Pomodoro timers push you to stop when time is up. Focus Tomato only reminds you that time is up, without forcing you out of flow. 2. Editable timeline, with manual entries and adjustments Forgot to stop the timer? No problem. You can add or edit records manually, so your history stays closer to reality. 3. Start a break anytime, and take another if needed Rest is not just an add-on after focus. Accidentally worked through your 5-minute break? Take another one right away. Choose a short or long break whenever you need it. 4. Break overtime is tracked too, for better pacing If your break runs longer than planned, Focus Tomato keeps timing and records it. Rest is not blank space. It becomes part of your real rhythm. 5. Custom tags, paired with stats review Add tags to each focus session, such as “study,” “side project,” or “creation,” so you can see where your time goes and review your long-term progress in stats. 6. iCloud sync, so your records follow your devices Sign in with the same Apple ID and enable iCloud to sync focus records between iPhone and iPad. 7. Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widgets No need to unlock or open the app. Glance to see how much time is left, and check today’s tomato count right from your Home Screen. — Real reviews from the Focus Tomato series The original app has earned a 4.9 / 5.0 rating and 27,000+ reviews worldwide. Thank you for all your support! “Gorgeous Pomodoro app!” I’ve used a few Pomodoro apps, and most are too serious or too formal. This one has a sense of humor, and the tomato face is priceless. — Camilo Rodríguez Gaviria “I have ADHD, and this app became my favorite!” I love the images, sounds, and background noise. It is also simple, so I do not get overwhelmed by too many features. — SkyBlueFireDragon14 “Best Pomodoro timer” The interface is simple, beautiful, and has no ads. Background ambience can play in the background, and the overall experience is great value. — Me291537911 “Super cute” The art style is so fun, and the “someone behind you” mode made me laugh. Highly recommended. — juku
