Meet Hypermonkey, a gamified productivity app built for ADHD minds. We know your brain doesn’t work like everyone else’s — and that most productivity tools weren't built with you in mind. Hypermonkey is designed to work with your brain, improve your executive dysfunction, and help you focus, plan, and follow through in a way that actually feels doable and fun. Key features we have: - Data Privacy: No sign-ups or sign-ins needed. All your data belongs to you and stays on your phone. - Smart Task Assists: Break down tasks into small, actionable subtasks, prioritize them, or get task suggestions if you don't know where to start. You can even use your voice to update your tasks! - Pomodoro: Stay productive using the Pomodoro technique — either work for custom focus intervals followed by short and long breaks or start a stopwatch. - Yap Zone: Brain-dump your thoughts before they spiral out of control and convert them to tasks. - Habits Tracker: Build routines that actually stick. Small, steady wins — one habit at a time. - Hypermonkey Friends: Invite your friends to shared Pomodoro's and habits so you can keep each other accountable. - Personalized Nudges: Get gentle, personalized reminders to keep you on track. - Reminders, Todoist, & TickTick Integration: Import your existing reminders from your device seamlessly into Hypermonkey. - Dashboard: Track your productivity patterns, task completion rate, etc. and see how much progress you’ve made over time. Understand more about your dominant ADHD productivity monkeys and how they affect you. - Daily Banana: Earn a daily banana by engaging with us! It shows your consistency (; - Sticker Shop: Reward yourself with some stickers of our mascots with your hard-earned bananas! Our ultimate goal is to understand your productivity patterns and turn your to-do lists into done lists. With the features above, we want to make it as intuitive and frictionless as possible for you to capture and execute ideas. Also, we believe that each ADHD mind has 6 monkeys living inside them that show up when they're trying to get things done! If you're interested in learning about your dominant ADHD productivity monkey and want to see how we can help, check out this fun little quiz we've put together: https://hrdzhy5q7gq.typeform.com/to/Ranq1V6n! It's always free to use Hypermonkey, but you can also upgrade to Pro to enjoy all of our powerful features. Upgrade to Pro by subscribing for $4.99/mo or $39.99/year, or pay for lifetime access at $69.99.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bloc at 5.0 against Hypermonkey's 4.5. Bloc also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Hypermonkey's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs paid) and ratings volume (19 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
