FocusAnchor 2.0 - One task. Present moment. WHAT'S DIFFERENT FocusAnchor was already the simplest productivity app on the App Store. Now your one task follows you — on your lock screen, Dynamic Island, and home screen — without ever opening the app. HOW IT WORKS - One task at a time — No overwhelm. No planning paralysis. - Tap the circle — Choose what matters right now. - Long press to complete — Feel the haptic celebration. - Choose the next thing — Just-in-time decisions only. NOW ALWAYS PRESENT - Live Activity — Your task on the lock screen with a live focus timer. - Dynamic Island — Glanceable task awareness without unlocking. - Home screen widgets — Small or medium. See your task or an invitation to focus. - Lock screen widget — Your current task, inline, always visible. KNOW YOUR RHYTHM Statistics that show: - Day streak — How many days in a row you've anchored focus. - Active days — X of the last 14 days you showed up. - Tasks per day — Your average pace, no pressure. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No subscriptions. No social features. No accounts. No cloud tracking. No algorithmic nudges. Everything stays on your device. Export your data anytime in Markdown, CSV, or JSON. DESIGNED FOR iOS Premium haptic feedback. Adaptive light and dark themes. Breathing interface that feels alive. Built with SwiftUI for iOS 18+. PHILOSOPHY Most productivity apps make you less productive. They turn "doing things" into "managing things to do." FocusAnchor does the opposite. One task. Right now. Nothing else. Stop planning. Start doing.

SSHPanel turns your iPhone into a dedicated server control panel, allowing you to manage servers without opening a terminal. Structure your SSH operations into three core axes: Execute, Reference, and Tools, and trigger tasks instantly with a single tap. ◆ EXECUTE & REFERENCE PANELS ・Execute Commands: Turn commands (systemctl, custom scripts) into one-tap panels. ・Exit Status: Visual indicators (green/red) instantly display success or failure. ・Data Reference: Display command outputs (e.g., cat) as panels with built-in keyword search (grep) for quick information extraction. ◆ INTERACTIVE "TOOLS" Real-time, in-depth server analysis tools: ・Directory Analyzer: Drill-down to identify disk space bottlenecks. ・Process Analyzer: List processes by CPU/MEM usage to find heavy loads. ・Memory Analyzer: Visualize true memory usage using PSS, and drill down into swap usage and OOM risks. ・Listening Ports: View active ports and associated connections/processes. ・Config Browser: Cleanly display configuration files by excluding comments and blank lines. ・Log Browser: Efficiently tail and grep server logs via a native UI. ◆ PANEL OPTIMIZATION ・Auto-close: Closes logs upon successful execution to minimize visual noise. ・Always Expanded: Fixes results on-screen, turning your device into a monitoring display. ・Expand on Tap: Keeps layouts slim, expanding only when detailed logs are needed. ◆ ADVANCED FEATURES ・SSH Multi-Hop (Jump Host): Automatically handles bastion host connection sequences. ・Robust Security: Passwords and keys (RSA, Ed25519) are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Credentials are fetched only at execution time with no in-app caching. ・iOS Integration: Trigger tasks directly from Widgets or Control Center. Automatic iCloud sync keeps panels updated across all your devices. ・67 Templates: Built-in presets for system monitoring, web, and database management. ※ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER SSHPanel is a "command execution (non-TTY)" tool optimized for iOS. ・No interactive sessions (e.g., vim or commands requiring real-time input). ・Designed specifically for executing pre-registered commands with a single tap.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SSHPanel at Free against FocusAnchor's $3.99. SSHPanel also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). FocusAnchor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
