Focusmith measures what actually matters: consistency, not streaks. Most habit apps reset your progress to zero the moment you miss a single day. Focusmith takes a different approach grounded in behavioral science — it calculates a rolling 30-day consistency score that absorbs occasional misses without catastrophic resets. One bad day doesn't erase weeks of effort. Start with a 7-day free trial — every feature unlocked from day one. CONSISTENCY SCORING Your score reflects reality: Excellent (90%+), Good (70-89%), Building (50-69%), or Starting (0-49%). Pause days for sick days, travel, rest, or holidays are excluded from the calculation entirely — legitimate breaks don't count against you. FORTRESS MODE A focus timer with optional app blocking powered by Apple's Screen Time framework. Choose sessions from 15 to 120 minutes. Block entire app categories to eliminate distractions. Emergency unlock requires typing an exact phrase — friction by design, because precommitment beats willpower. INSIGHTS & ANALYTICS Switchable Week, Month, Quarter, and Year activity views. Tap any past day to edit completions or add pause days. A 6-month heat map gives you a bird's-eye view of your progress. Weekly consistency trends and per-habit analytics help you spot patterns and stay on track. LEARN THE SCIENCE 14 in-app articles explain the research behind every feature — from consistency scoring to habit formation to deep focus. Each article includes full scientific citations with DOI links so you can read the original studies yourself.
