StateCraft is a new kind of task manager designed for a more mindful approach to work and life. It's built on a simple idea: you can get more done with less stress by honoring your natural energy levels. Instead of a single, overwhelming list, StateCraft helps you sort your tasks into personal "states of mind" like 'Creative,' 'Focused,' or 'Relaxed.' When you feel energized, tackle your focus tasks. When you're tired, work on your low-energy items.
Focus Dots
Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus Dots is a simple focus timer. Set a duration. Press start. Focus on one thing. There are no streaks to maintain. No productivity analytics. No pressure to optimize yourself. Finish a session and earn a dot. Over time, those dots become quiet records of the moments you chose to focus. Use it for study sessions, deep work, reading, writing, or any task that needs your full attention. Whether you’re working, studying, or just trying to stay distraction-free, Focus Dots helps you stay present. I built this because I kept getting distracted by focus tools that tried to do too much. This one does less.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Focus Dots at every 8 days against StateCraft.'s every 3 weeks. StateCraft.'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
