PomoTask vs Hardcore Focus

PomoTask helps you find how long you can truly focus — then gently stretch that edge. PROGRESSIVE TIMER Start around 5 minutes. When you’re in the flow, the next block grows a little — up to 25 minutes. After each focus block, a quick check-in tunes what comes next: go longer, shorten, or take a break. STRUGGLE ESCAPE Stuck mid-session? Pause, cut about a third of the remaining time, or start a short break — no guilt, just options. CLASSIC POMODORO Prefer a fixed rhythm? Create custom timers with focus, break, and repetitions. Organize by Work, Study, Home, or Wealth. STATISTICS YOU CAN FEEL See week focus, streaks, active days, and a tomato splash calendar that turns every focus day into a hit. APPLE WATCH & WIDGETS Start and track sessions from your wrist. Toggle Progressive focus from the Home Screen. Check week focus and streaks at a glance. ALERTS THAT CUT THROUGH Optional AlarmKit alerts break through Silent mode and Focus when a session ends. Session notifications keep you on track in other apps. THEMES & ICONS Solid colors, gradients, and handcrafted app icons so your timer feels like yours. Classic mode stays free. Unlock Progressive with Pro for adaptive focus, check-ins, stats, and themes. Privacy-friendly: focus stats stay on your devices.

Hardcore Focus blocks distracting apps with Screen Time, then runs a focus session toward a daily goal. Habits next to it. No account. No VPN. Three things: Focus, Habits, and Shield. No to-do list. No calendar. SHIELD — BLOCK THE NOISE Block the apps that steal your day with Apple’s native Screen Time API. On a schedule, during a focus session, or always on. You choose how hard it is to get back in: • No Bypass — locked is locked • 15-Minute Bypass — one short, deliberate exception FOCUS — DO DEEP WORK One button. Tap it and work until you’re done — no countdown, no 25-minute cycle. Keep the screen awake. Optional Apple Music focus playlist. Watch your daily focus goal fill up on the ring. Pause when life happens. Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep the timer visible. HABITS — FILL THE TIME YOU GET BACK Stack habits into routines by time of day. Check them off, count reps, or run a timed habit. Workouts, walks, and mindful minutes can auto-complete from Apple Health. Keep the streak on the habits that matter. ALSO • Apple Watch — start sessions and complete habits from your wrist • Siri & Shortcuts • Widgets, Live Activities & Dynamic Island • On-device insights into your focus patterns (on your phone) • Apple Music focus playlists inside the session • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch — no Hardcore Focus account PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zero data collection. Anything you sync stays in your own iCloud. WHO IT’S FOR People who already know which apps steal the day and keep opening them anyway. Block, focus, show up for the habits.
