Your phone has a tiny boba shop in it now. The guy who runs it is a round tapioca pearl, and he would really love it if you put your phone down for a bit. Mr. Tapioca is a cozy focus timer. Set a custom session from 15 minutes to 4 hours, or work toward the daily focus goal you choose. While you focus, he brews your boba. Finish and the drink goes in your collection. The part that keeps you honest: real app blocking. Mr. Tapioca uses Apple's Screen Time technology to shield the distracting apps you choose during a session. Blocking is optional. Turn it on and those apps stay unavailable until you pause or finish. What's inside: - Custom drinks with tea bases, toppings, and a shelf for everything you finish - Real app blocking, not just a guilt trip - A Live Activity countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Optional reminders when your drink is ready - Pearls earned by focusing, to spend on skins, toppings, and shop backgrounds - A map of nearby bubble tea shops, with participating partner shops marked - Partner perks on iPhone earned from verified focus time and redeemed with one-time codes - Study Squad: share a code and compare focus totals, drinks, and streaks with friends (optional) - Break games, daily quests, achievements, streaks, music, and ambient soundscapes I'm Melchior. I'm a college student, this is my first app, and I built it with my girlfriend Dasha because every focus app we tried was either a spreadsheet with a timer attached or a subscription in a trench coat. A few extra skins and backgrounds are small one-time purchases if you ever feel like supporting us. Everything else you earn by focusing. Free to download. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just you, a proud little pearl, and the thing you've been putting off.

Verdict

The call

Omi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
