FlowBuddy vs FocusArt

Stop mindless scrolling and open apps more intentionally. FlowBuddy helps you stay focused by blocking distracting apps and websites, adding a small pause before you access them. Set which apps and web domains to block, choose how access works, and build healthier phone habits over time. FlowBuddy uses Screen Time-based shielding for apps and websites, supports allowed schedules, tracks activity, and can require a breathing exercise before access is restored. Key Features: - Block distracting apps and websites - Unlock with a breathing exercise - Set allowed schedules - Track your app access habits - Reduce impulsive app and web browsing - Build more mindful screen time FlowBuddy is designed to make app opening feel intentional instead of automatic. "It has significantly improved my ability to stay focused for extended periods. The Breathing Exercise feature is a game-changer!" - tsteven9 Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://flowbuddy.app/privacy/?ref=appstore

FocusArt is a focus timer for people who need real concentration: knowledge workers, developers, designers, students, anyone at a desk who wants fewer distractions and more finished work. Pick a mode, start a session, and focus. When you stop, FocusArt turns your actual time into rest, and into art: a real painting from art history, added to a collection that's yours to keep. HOW IT WORKS • Five focus modes (Quick, Routine, and Deep are free to start; Intense and open-ended Zen come with FocusArt Pro), so a short task and a 90-minute deep work session both get a timer that fits. • Rest is earned, not guessed. Your break timer scales with how long you actually focused, not a fixed countdown. • Live Activity and widgets show your current session and today's progress from the Lock Screen or desktop, without opening the app. • Streaks track consistent days of hitting your focus goal, quietly, with no guilt if a day slips. • A leaderboard with weekly and monthly views lets you compare your focus hours with others, if you want to. YOUR GALLERY Every completed session earns a painting (real museum works, from Monet to Hokusai to Van Gogh), building a personal collection of twelve you can revisit anytime. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL PRO PLAN The free plan includes three focus modes, the full painting gallery, all your data for as long as you use FocusArt, and Sanctuary, a distraction blocker that keeps one app of your choice out of reach during a session. FocusArt Pro adds the Intense and Zen modes, unlimited apps, categories, and websites in Sanctuary plus always-on blocking, and calendar sync for completed sessions. Choose Weekly, Yearly, or Lifetime. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC FocusArt runs natively on iPhone and Mac. Your settings sync between them over iCloud, so your focus goal and preferences follow you. A calm, distraction-free way to focus. No streaks to protect, no guilt for a day off, just a timer, a break you earned, and real art along the way.
