Quote Focus

Quote Focus is a focus timer for deep work and study — no fluff, no streaks, no engagement traps. Just the time you put in, with a daily attributed quote when you haven't started yet. Three modes: • Countdown — Set a duration and focus until it's done. • Stopwatch — Start and stop manually. No limit. • Cycle — Alternate focus and break intervals, Pomodoro-style. If you've tried Forest, Focus Keeper, Flora, or Focus Friend and wanted something quieter — without trees to grow or plants to kill — Quote Focus is built for that. Calm by design: • No ads, no analytics, no third-party tracking. • Time-sensitive notifications that break through Focus modes when a session ends. • Pause anytime — paused intervals are subtracted from active focus time, so totals reflect real work. • Full session history with a calendar-style day timeline. • Random attributed quote from authors like Atatürk, Mevlana, Marcus Aurelius, Steve Jobs, and Cal Newport — picked once per launch, in your language. • Light, dark, and system themes. • iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad. • 15 languages. Built for students, writers, designers, ADHD-friendly schedules, Pomodoro routines, and anyone who needs a clean way to put in focused hours. A simple alternative to FocusFlight, Opal, Study Bunny, and similar deep work apps. Privacy-first: your sessions live in your own iCloud account — nowhere else. No accounts. No login. No data sent anywhere. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
