No swiping, no "just a quick look". Just you and your task. Your Focus, Your Village Every session earns you coins. Use them to unlock new characters, build structures on your Focus Island, and watch your village grow โ€“ session by session. Over 25 Collectible Characters From the motivating Panda to the grumpy Troll to the philosophical Blue Pawn โ€“ every character has their own personality, their own lines, and their own animations. Some unlock through focus time, others through streaks or weekly challenges. A Timer That Fits You Classic countdown or endless mode as a stopwatch. With Live Activities on your lock screen and Apple Watch sync, you always know where you stand โ€“ even with your phone in your pocket. Daily Rewards & Challenges Log in daily for increasing rewards. Weekly challenges give you a goal and unlock exclusive content. Streaks & Achievements Keep your streak alive, hit milestones, and collect achievements. Every day counts. iCloud Sync & Apple Watch Your progress syncs across all your devices. Start sessions right from your wrist โ€“ timer sync between iPhone and Apple Watch works both ways.

PocketPass Lite keeps every loyalty card, membership, and coupon in one place โ€” without asking for your data. EASE OF USE Add a card in seconds: scan it with your camera, import a photo or screenshot, or type the number in by hand. PocketPass Lite recognizes QR codes, barcodes, and most retail formats automatically, then generates a clean, full-brightness code ready to scan at checkout. Add a Home Screen widget that shows the right card's code automatically when you're near that store, or pin a card to your Lock Screen for one-glance access. PRIVACY FIRST Your cards never leave your device. There's no account to create, no server PocketPass Lite talks to, and no tracking or ads โ€” ever. Backups and exports go only to a folder you choose yourself, and passwords for registered store logins live in the iOS Keychain, completely separate from your card data. What you scan is yours, full stop. SHARE WITH FAMILY, YOUR WAY Sync with Family shares your cards directly with other devices over your own Wi-Fi network โ€” no cloud account, no server in between. One person hosts, everyone else joins with a code, and every card (including saved store locations) is shared in seconds. Don't want a card synced? Exclude it with one tap.
