Pomodoro Timer vs Orby

FocusKit helps you work with deeper focus, protect your time, and build a calmer daily rhythm. Features Smart Focus Sessions Use Pomodoro-style focus and break timers that fit the way you work. Stay productive, take better breaks, and keep your day balanced. Progress Tracking See your focus time, patterns, streaks, goals, and long-term progress with clear charts and helpful insights. Alarms and Notifications Never lose track of time. FocusKit can alert you when a session ends, when a break begins, or when it is time to get back into flow. Live Activities Follow your current session from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island without unlocking your iPhone. Categories Organize sessions by project, task, or purpose so you can understand where your time really goes. iCloud Sync Keep your sessions and categories in sync across your devices, with privacy and security built in. Consistency Maintain focus streaks, reach daily and weekly goals, and turn focused work into a lasting habit. Home Screen Widgets Bring FocusKit to your Home Screen. Start, pause, or check your current session at a glance without opening the app. Choose from multiple widget sizes and styles, view your daily focus progress, track your streaks, and start a new session with a single tap. Apple Watch Take FocusKit with you wherever you go. Start, pause, and end focus sessions from your wrist, get haptic feedback for session transitions and breaks, check the remaining time, switch categories on the fly, and keep your streak alive even when your iPhone is out of reach. Complications put your next focus session one tap away from any watch face.

Orby turns your screen time into a single glowing light. Every morning your Orby starts full. As you spend time in the apps you chose to watch, it fades. Reach 2 hours 30 minutes and it goes dark. At midnight it fills back up and the day starts again. That's the whole idea. One number, one light, no dashboards to study. SEE IT WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Put your Orby on your Home Screen or Lock Screen and it's just there, quietly dimming through the day. Most people check it in passing and decide to put the phone down. That glance is the point. BRING FRIENDS INTO IT Habits are easier to keep when someone can see them. With Orby Friends you can connect with the people you actually want to be accountable to, and you'll each see the other's light. You see their light, and how many apps they chose to track — never which ones. That's it. There is no feed, no posts, no messages, no comments, no likes, no streaks to defend. Which apps you use, and how long you spent in each, never leave your phone: Apple seals them away, and Orby cannot read them either. The count is there so nobody can quietly stop tracking the app they scroll most and still look untouched. Adding someone takes a code or a QR scan — hold yours up, or point the camera at theirs. Holding a code only lets you ask; they see nothing until they accept. You can also choose to be told when a friend's light drops to a percentage you care about, or when they start tracking fewer apps, so you can check in when it actually matters. PRIVATE WHEN YOU NEED IT Some days you don't want to explain yourself. Turn on Private Mode and friends simply see "Private" instead of a number, until you turn it back off. BUILT SO IT CAN'T SPY ON YOU Orby measures time through Apple's Screen Time framework, which is designed so apps like this can't see inside it. Orby never learns which apps you selected, never sees your usage history, and never reads what you did in them. It only finds out when your daily total crosses each minute — and that is all it has to share. There are no accounts. No email, no password, no sign-up. You get a random friend code, and it only works for people you hand it to. Holding your code lets someone ask to connect; they see nothing at all unless you accept. No advertising. No tracking. No analytics about how you use the app. Orby collects crash reports so it can be fixed when it breaks, and those carry no personal data. FREE, AND WHAT ISN'T Your own Orby is free, forever. So are your widgets, your notifications, your colours and your app icon.

You'll be asked during setup, and you choose which apps count. Without it, your Orby stays full and nothing happens.
