THE COMPOUND EFFECT Your baseline doesn't change overnight. But consistent daily actions compound. Our exponential smoothing algorithm shows exactly how your habits move your baseline over 14, 28, and 90 days. FOCUS KILLERS โ WHAT'S SABOTAGING YOU Sleep deprivation, chronic stress, phone-first mornings, ultra-processed food, heavy media multitasking. Some habits silently shred your sustained attention. See the full damage with real percentages from clinical studies. MYTH BUSTERS Lumosity won't make you smarter. Sugar doesn't make kids hyper. Blue-light glasses are mostly hype.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Duck Tabata at none against FocusCheck's 1. Duck Tabata also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
