ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remy Reminders holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Timer has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Focus Timer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Remy Reminders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Focus Timer ships an update fortnightly, Remy Reminders every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on July 8, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
