"The Guilt-Free Timer Designed for ADHD" Have you ever given up on a timer app? It’s not your lack of willpower. It was simply the wrong tool. HyperFocus is a productivity tool built with the ADHD brain in mind. We don’t judge or blame. Start without a plan, and get praised even when you stop midway. [4 Principles of HyperFocus] 1. Start in 1 Second (Zero Friction) No complex settings, no login required. Just open the app and press one button to dive into your flow. We eliminate the gap between thought and action to help you execute immediately. 2. Dopamine Every 5 Minutes (Micro Rewards) Do you have to endure 25 minutes to get a reward? Not here. We give you stars, haptic feedback, and praise every 5 minutes. Keep your brain stimulated and engaged without the boredom. 3. Stopping Midway is Still a "Success" (No Shame) Stopped after 14 minutes? That is not a failure. That is "14 minutes of success." Even if you stop early, your records accumulate. Your effort never goes to waste. [Medical Disclaimer] This app is a productivity tool designed to assist with time management and concentration. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.

RemindFocus is built for brains that struggle to focus, forget everything, and fall into endless scrolling. Three separate tools, intentionally kept apart, to match how ADHD actually works. FOCUS TIMER Start a timed focus session from 1 minute up to 75 minutes, or up to 4 hours with Pro. Pair it with brown noise, pink noise, or white noise to block distractions and enter deep work mode. A fullscreen screen-on mode keeps your timer visible without unlocking your phone. When the session ends, a gentle sound brings you back. DISTRACTION PARKING (LINK SAVER) You're in a focus session and a random thought sends you down a rabbit hole. Instead of following it, park it. Save any link with one tap via the share sheet. RemindFocus stores it silently with a thumbnail and category: no notifications, no pressure, no autoplay. It does not play videos at you. It holds the link so you can come back when your work is done. Up to 30 links without Pro, unlimited with Pro. REMINDERS & MEMOS RemindFocus sends you scheduled reminders that actually interrupt you, because ADHD brains need that. Set a memo to fire at a specific time: "Take the laundry out," "Take your meds," "Leave now." Reminders are always unlimited and never locked behind Pro. PROGRESS & STREAKS The Progress tab shows your focus streak, total hours, an hourly heatmap of when you concentrate best, and your session history. Watch your consistency grow day by day. The full history and heatmap are available with Pro. HOW IT WORKS - Flexible sessions, not fixed to 25 minutes. - Designed around ADHD patterns: time blindness, hyperfocus, task switching, forgetting. - The link saver is passive and silent; reminders are active and scheduled. They stay separate, not merged into one inbox. - Links are stored as references with a thumbnail. No embedded video players. - Your data stays on your device. REMINDFOCUS PRO - Full data backup and restore (most requested feature) - Complete focus history and heatmap - Unlimited saved links (beyond 30) - Extended timer up to 4 hours - Full ambient audio library: extra soundscapes and tick sounds Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Restore purchases anytime across devices. PERFECT FOR - People with ADHD or attention difficulties - Students using focus timers for studying - Remote workers fighting digital distraction - Anyone who forgets tasks the moment they walk into another room - Brown noise and ambient sound fans who want focus built in RemindFocus does not diagnose or treat ADHD. It is a productivity tool designed with neurodivergent users in mind. ______ Terms of Use: https://remindfocus.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://remindfocus.com/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HyperFocus at none against RemindFocus's 3. RemindFocus's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
