You don't need more motivation. You need a way to start without it. Melt Focus is the ADHD focus app that works on even the lowest-energy days. ADHD brains get overwhelmed trying to remember everything, then to choose what to do next, and then actually do it. We take all three off your plate. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS With Melt Focus, earn screen time by focusing or doing your work. Apps that distract or steal focus are blocked by default. Focus for as little as 10 minutes. Get rewarded with sunshine to intentionally spend on screen time. Scroll guilt free until the timer runs out. Protect your focus against mindless doomscrolling and get more done. You dump all your tasks into the app. Every single one. Brain dump complete. Working memory gets a break. We show you one frozen task at a time. Just one. No scrolling through a list, no decision fatigue, no paralysis. A cute bunny is trapped in ice, and she's your visual timer. Start a melt focus session, and she starts melting free. That's it. You watch the ice melt. You see time moving. You have proof you're making progress. Even if it doesn't feel like it yet. Plus we protect your dopamine by letting you choose what apps you want to block while focusing. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT No punishment for stopping early. Most focus apps guilt you into finishing. We don't. If you quit after 3 minutes, your streak still counts. Because for ADHD brains, starting IS the whole battle. We reward the moment you decided to begin. One task at a time. Brains were never meant to hold 47 things at once. So we hold them for you. We pick the next thing. You just do it. A bunny melts instead of a timer ticking. Watching numbers count down is boring. Watching a cute frozen bunny slowly come to life? That hits different. Your brain actually wants to keep going. No willpower required. Block social apps and earn the scroll: instagram, tiktok, and the rest can't pull you out of focus anymore. Built for your worst days, not your best. Other apps work great when you're already motivated. Melt Focus works for the days when getting started feels impossible. That's when you need it most. That's when it works best. **Your session follows you everywhere.** Once you start a melt, the bunny lives on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island — progress bar, countdown, all of it. No need to reopen the app to remember you're mid-session. Your phone becomes the accountability, not the distraction. _all of the above features require an active subscription_ WHO THIS IS FOR → Students who wait until 2am to start the essay and hate themselves for it → Professionals who stare at their to-do list for 30 minutes then do none of it → Anyone with ADHD who's tired of productivity apps that assume you can "just start" YOUR DAILY STREAK TRACKER Every day you start (even for one minute), it counts. Your Melt History shows daily, weekly, and yearly streaks so you can see the pattern: you're more consistent than you think. Proof that momentum is building, one melt at a time. WHAT PEOPLE SAY AFTER USING IT "I finally stopped dreading my task list." "It's the first app that doesn't make me feel worse about myself." "The bunny is the only reason I started studying today and honestly? It worked." START THE TIMER. FREE THE BUNNY. Your tasks remember themselves. Your streak builds itself. And the only decision you have to make is: do I want to watch some ice melt today? p.s. the answer is always yes lol. _note: melt focus requires an active subscription; no features are available without one_ Download Melt Focus. Start your first melt. Terms of Use: https://legal.meltfocus.com/terms-of-service.html Privacy Policy: https://legal.meltfocus.com/privacy-policy.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Juno at free with in-app purchases against Melt Focus's subscription. Juno also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 14) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). Melt Focus's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
