SyncTasks vs FocusRoom

As a daily Notion user, I found the Notion mobile app to be too cluttered and overly complicated for simple tasks management. It is also severely lacking in widget integration which is a crucial part of the iOS experience. I have tried Todoist and TickTick with Zapier, but they lacked support for all the features I needed, AND THERE IS A SUBSCRIPTION?! I wanted a simpler, more integrated solution. That's why I built SyncTasks. Due to popular demand, I've added the option to use SyncTasks as a standalone to-do app without syncing with Notion. This can be especially useful for quickly tracking tasks like grocery lists and other on-the-go needs. Key Features of SyncTasks: Notion Integration: Two-way sync with your Notion databases. This feature also allows you to sync databases from multiple Notion Workspaces. Apple Reminders Integration: Two-way sync with your Apple Reminders. Minimal Task List Widget: My favorite feature! Inspired by dumb phones, this minimalist widget blends seamlessly with your wallpaper to create a distraction-free interface reminiscent of a dumb phone. Your home screen will display only your tasks, with no other distractions, so you can stay focused and get as much done as possible. Stay Organized: I've decided to go back to basics and stick with the trusty folder system to help you group your tasks and stay organized. You can also quickly filter and search through your tasks to find exactly what you need. Exclusive Membership Card: I absolutely love the feeling of getting something unique for myself. So, I've added this totally unnecessary but fun feature! When you first get your card after upgrading to premium (it's a one-time purchase, by the way—because I absolutely hate subscriptions), you can drag and shake it to unlock a series of randomized colors with different gradients on the card. This means your card will be unique to you and you alone. I know it's not essential, but it's kind of exciting, right? No ads. No tracking. Transparent update: Nobody likes being tracked, and I'm no exception. I've also included a Release Notes section in the app where I'll share all the new features, major bug fixes, and improvements with you. This keeps the update process as informative and transparent as possible. I'm doing this because I genuinely want to build and grow alongside my users. If you've encountered a similar issue with the Notion mobile app and are looking for a solution, want a way to stay focused and get things done, or just simply want to hang out, install SyncTasks and join me on this journey. I'll see you on the other side! Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

FocusRoom is the focus timer and app blocker built for ADHD brains and deep workers. Most productivity apps add noise. FocusRoom strips it away — turning your tasks, focus timer, and app blocker into one calm mission control. Why FocusRoom feels different • Block distracting apps with Apple's Screen Time API so social media stays grounded during missions. • Track your active focus flight on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and StandBy — in real time. • Switch to a cinematic 3D cockpit with ticket-style animations that make every session feel like a launch. • See your Focus Health score, deep-focus days, and streaks so your habits actually compound over time. Features • Simple, clutter-free tasks – Capture tasks into clean lists for work, school, and life, and focus on what you'll actually do today. • Space-themed focus sessions – Start a mission and fly from Earth to distant planets as the timer runs. Each trip has a clear start, destination, and arrival. • App blocking with Screen Time (iOS) – Block distracting apps during missions using Apple's Device Activity API so nothing pulls you out of deep work. • 3D space cockpit & first-class tickets – Switch from 2D map to cinematic 3D flights with ticket-style animations that make every session feel special. • Live Activity & StandBy flight tracker – Track your current focus flight on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and StandBy while your phone is locked. • Advanced focus analytics – View total focus time, distance traveled, best streaks, deep-focus days, completion rate, and a Focus Health score. • Calming ambience & soundscapes – Space-inspired sounds help you get into deep work without stress. • Daily focus reminders (optional) – Set a custom time to get a gentle nudge to start your focus trip. • Rewarding progress – See how far you've traveled, track Pomodoro-style sessions and streaks, and watch your Focus Health improve over time. • Habit orbit & tasks widgets – See today's missions and your last 3 months of focus as a grid of habit dots right on your Home Screen. • Recurring missions – Turn tasks into automatic daily, weekly, or custom routines so important work reappears on schedule. • Unlimited mission lists – Create as many lists as you want (School, Work, Deep Work, Side Projects, Content Ideas, Chores and more), each with its own icon and color. • Minimal, beautiful design – A dark, cockpit-style interface with planets, stars, and smooth animations. FocusRoom is the only app that turns your to-do list into a mission — and your lock screen into a cockpit. Your tasks stay simple, your mind stays clear, and deep work finally feels like something worth showing up for.
