Meet Focado — a cozy focus timer where your concentration turns into handmade progress. When you focus, Avo — your tiny knitting avocado — starts knitting warm little beanies and gloves. Every stitch represents your focus. But if you interrupt the timer, Avo immediately drops the needles. Finish your session and Avo will trade the beanies and gloves they knitted for beautiful decorations to upgrade their room. The more you focus, the more Avo knits — and the cozier their world becomes. Now, you can also personalize your experience with a variety of Avocado skins. Unlock and choose your favorite Avo, and enjoy focusing with a character that fits your style. Focado is designed for students, workers, creators, and anyone who wants a calm, motivating way to stay consistent. Focus → Knit → Trade → Decorate. Simple, relaxing, and deeply rewarding.

Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Focused sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Focado sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Focused against 4.8 for Focado. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focado has 1.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
