Focus Lock vs Nudge Monster

FOCUS FIRST. EARN YOUR SCROLL. Focus Lock combines a Pomodoro timer with Screen Time app blocking. Choose your distracting apps, complete a focus session, and earn time to use them. Built by someone with ADHD who was tired of losing hours to doomscrolling. TWO WAYS TO FOCUS Lock In mode keeps your selected apps locked until you earn an unlock window by completing a focus session. Earned time is measured by actual app usage. Three five-minute emergency unlocks are available each day. Prefer session-based blocking? Turn off Lock In and block distractions only during focus sessions, with optional blocking during breaks. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO On the inner display, the countdown and session controls sit on opposite sides of the fold. Half-folded on your desk, the timer stays visible above the controls. Open it like a book, fold it closed, or use Split View: your session keeps going. BUILD A FOCUS HABIT - Start with 25- or 45-minute focus sessions. - Tag your work and see where your focus time goes. - Track daily and weekly progress, streaks, and badges. - Share your focus cards and milestones. - Follow the timer with Live Activities and completion alerts.

Most reminder apps send one notification and give up. This one escalates. Nudge Monster puts a live countdown on your Lock Screen and keeps nagging — through silent mode — until you actually do the thing. COUNTDOWNS, WITHOUT REOPENING THE APP A live countdown can appear on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported iPhones—even if you’ve swiped the app closed. ALARMS THAT CUT THROUGH SILENT MODE With alarm permission enabled, Monster mode uses system alarms that can sound through Silent mode and Focus. BIRTHDAYS YOU ACTUALLY ACT ON Bring birthdays in from your Contacts, with the date and the age. A warning the night before and a gift reminder a fortnight out help you plan ahead. When the reminder pops up, call the person or open a WhatsApp chat directly from it. Turn the nudge into a birthday wish while they are still on your mind. THE HALL OF SHAME Your on-time rate, and every deadline you let slide. Uncomfortable, and that is the point. YOUR REMINDER CONTENT STAYS PRIVATE No account. No tracking. No ads. Your reminders, birthdays and photos are stored on your device, with optional backup to your private iCloud account. Starting a countdown remotely uses a reminder service that processes device delivery tokens, random identifiers, scheduling times and technical delivery records. Your reminder text and contact details are not sent to that service. The words in your countdown are filled in on your phone. FREE, PERMANENTLY Unlimited reminders and birthdays. Standard notifications on all of them. One live countdown, Monster mode on three, export and import, and your on-time stats. NUDGE MONSTER PRO Monster mode on everything. Five countdowns at once. Automatic iCloud backup, the Home Screen widget, repeating reminders, gift reminders, and your full history. Pro is a yearly or monthly auto-renewing subscription; the price in your local currency is shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings.
