Focus is the app blocker that turns scrolling hours into goal hours. Pick a goal, set a duration, and hold to start. From that second, the apps that pull you in are locked. No snooze, no "five more minutes", no way around it. Every hour we block goes into your goal. WHY FOCUS WORKS WHEN WILLPOWER DOESN'T Every distracting app is built by teams whose whole job is to keep you scrolling. Focus levels the field: once you commit, the decision is out of your hands. Open a blocked app and Focus answers: "Instagram is blocked by Focus." PUT YOUR HOURS INTO YOUR GOALS • Study, work, business, fitness, reading, art, or a goal of your own • Every session counts toward the goal you chose • Watch your hours gained grow, goal by goal IT'S YOU VS. YOU • Your goal scoreboard shows where your hours go • Beat last week's score and start a new lap • See how much faster you're moving than in week 1 • Best week, streaks, and blocked time by app YOUR FIRST RECAP MOVIE IN 48 HOURS Two days in, Focus plays a short personal movie of your progress: the apps that tried to take your time, the hours you put into your goals, and how much faster you're moving. A full recap lands every month. STRICT SESSIONS • Hold to start: a deliberate gesture, not an accidental tap • Blocked apps stay blocked until time is up • A live countdown on your Lock Screen keeps the goal in sight • One Emergency Pass per session: unlock a single app for five minutes, then the wall returns FOCUS ON A SCHEDULE • Recurring focus windows for work, study, or sleep, so your mornings block themselves • Real alarms that ring from a locked phone • Every rule runs on Apple's Screen Time system, enforced by iOS itself TIMER & ALARMS • A clean standalone timer with proper, full-volume alarms • Pick a classic ring or a song you love as your alarm sound PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time framework, and your activity never leaves your iPhone. The only thing we keep is anonymous usage statistics, never your content. WHO IT'S FOR Students who lose evenings to their phone. Founders, makers, and creators guarding deep work. Anyone chasing a goal who keeps losing the hours to scrolling. Your time is the only thing you truly spend. Focus makes sure it goes into your goals.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeWise at none against Focus's 2. TimeWise also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Focus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
