12Focus

Read full description

Ambitious goals rarely disappear because you do not care. They disappear because the week fills up with urgent work, messages, and distractions before the important work begins. 12Focus is for people tired of overplanning and under-executing. It turns your goals for the next 12 weeks into a clear plan for this week. You can see it, protect it, and pick it back up after a hard week. KEEP YOUR GOALS IN VIEW • Choose up to three goals for a 12-week cycle • Turn them into a weekly plan you can actually start on • Set your priorities before urgency sets them for you • Keep today’s next action in front of you, without an endless backlog • Review a hard week without deleting it and starting from zero MAKE DISTRACTION WAIT Decide the rule before the distraction gets a vote. On iPhone (iOS 18+), you can pick distracting apps and give them a daily time budget. When it runs out, they pause until tomorrow. If you want, every action you complete earns extra minutes. LOOK BACK, THEN KEEP GOING Your AI coach writes to you about the week you are actually having. It remembers your goals and why you set them, and can draft a weekly review you edit freely. You decide what is true, what matters, and what comes next. Share your week with a partner you chose. Your partner sees the week you decide to share. It is not another productivity feed. It is a system that gives the goals that matter a real place in your week, even when it gets busy. 12Focus offers three auto-renewing subscription options: 1, 3 or 12 months.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dropdesk at none against 12Focus's 6. Dropdesk also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). 12Focus's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
