Focus Orbit is an iPhone focus timer that turns your concentration time into a spaceflight experience. It includes two modes: βCustom Flight,β which works as a standard focus timer, and βPlanet Roadmap,β where you advance from Earth to the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto as you accumulate focus time. One of the appβs strongest features is its βMission Passβ boarding sequence before each session begins. Instead of simply tapping a start button, the user slides their mission pass to the right and physically feeds it through the on-screen scanner to authorize the flight. This makes the moment you begin focusing feel intentional, immersive, and memorable. Before each session, users choose their task, duration, and destination, then scan their mission pass to start the flight. Once the journey begins, the app avoids unnecessary interaction and lets users stay focused inside a calm, space-themed environment. After the session ends, the destination reached and focus record are saved to the flight log, making it easy to reflect on steady progress over time. In Planet Roadmap mode, focus time carries over continuously instead of resetting each time, allowing users to keep moving deeper into the solar system. Planets that can be landed on include landing, authorization, and liftoff sequences, while non-landable planets are passed through with flyby sequences, giving users a stronger sense of progress and achievement as they continue studying or working. Focus Orbit is designed to create immersion and a sense of momentum without losing the core purpose of a focus timer. It transforms studying, reading, creative work, and deep tasks into a quiet, cinematic journey through space.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FlowTimer at none against FocusOrbit's shown. FocusOrbit's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
