Monu vs Focalify

MONU is a calm iOS planner built around one idea: your daily habits should connect to the person you're becoming. Most to-do apps are just inboxes for tasks — brilliant at capturing what you need to do, but they forget the point. MONU keeps your dreams at the top. Each dream breaks down into small, keepable habits. Those habits show up on your Today screen. And every time you keep one, the dream you're chasing moves a little closer. FOUR TABS. NOTHING YOU WON'T USE. Today, at a glance Your intention, habits, tasks, and calendar in one view. Switch between Day, Week, and Month — every date is tappable, so you can plan ahead. Vision & Dreams Write who you're becoming, then break each dream into small, keepable habits. View them as a list, or as an Ohtani-style Mandalart grid — a 3×3 goal map with your vision at the center and eight dreams around it. A Real Bucket List Life isn't only work. Sort your somedays into Need, Want, Adventure, and Growth, and tick them off as you live them. Focus Timer A gentle Pomodoro built right in. Pick 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes, minimize it, and keep working — it resumes right where you left off. Calendar Sync Bring your Apple and Google events into your day, week, and month view, merged and de-duplicated so nothing shows up twice. Home Screen Widget Your progress ring, streak, and top tasks right on your home screen — a quiet nudge toward the day you meant to have. WHY MONU IS DIFFERENT A dream doesn't move forward when you check a box — it moves forward as its habits become consistent. Keep a habit for 21 days and it's built. You watch yourself change, not just clear a list. No feature soup. No dashboard fatigue. We cut everything that didn't earn its place, including features we'd already built. What's left is what matters. As James Clear puts it in Atomic Habits: your results reflect your systems, not just your goals. Free to download. No ads, no tracking. Works offline. Your data stays yours. Requires iPhone with iOS 18 or later.

Make room for focused work. Focalify is a simple focus timer for studying, working and taking a mindful break. Choose a duration, start your session and give your attention a little space. GROW YOUR RHYTHM See your focus history as a calendar of blooms. Petals show progress toward your daily goal, and you can tap a day to inspect the focus time you recorded. Current and best streaks make your rhythm easy to understand. Days with recorded focus time count; breaks do not. If you have not focused today, yesterday’s streak remains available to continue today. SET A GOAL THAT FITS Choose daily and weekly focus goals. Review your recorded time, session history and progress without a crowded dashboard. Short sessions and sessions ended early still show the time you actually focused. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 12 accent colors and light, dark or system appearance. Find a timer style that suits you, with visuals including circles, waves and flowing shapes. STAY IN CONTROL Pause, resume and use fullscreen while keeping your session intact. Flexible layouts adapt to compact and wide windows, including the changing space on iPhone Duo. Focalify is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.
