SoFocus vs Just Start

SoFocus is a focus friend and app blocker for Screen Time. Start a focus session, block distracting apps with iOS Screen Time, and let your friends keep you accountable until the work is done. — YOUR SQUAD KEEPS SCORE — Real-time presence tracking shows every member when you're in a session and when you've gone quiet. No hiding. No rescheduling. Just showing up. — APPROVAL-GATED EXITS — Want to leave early? You'll need your squad to approve it first. That one moment of friction is the difference between giving up and getting through. Social pressure beats self-discipline. Every time. — COMPETE FOR THE WEEK — Who clocked the most focus hours this week? Weekly leaderboards rank every squad member. Hit your collective goal and unlock shared rewards. Fall short and the streak resets — for everyone. — SCREEN TIME BLOCKING — SoFocus integrates with iOS Screen Time to block the apps that derail you mid-session. No cheating. No distractions. Just the work that matters. — ENTER THE WORLD OF THE TIMEKEEPERS — Turn focusing into a 16-bit adventure. In Keepers of Time, every real focus session is a battle: face the Doomscroll Wyrm, level up your Timekeeper, and help restore a world devoured by distraction. Sit under the Elder Tree and watch friends and strangers focusing beside you — live. Prefer the classic app? The RPG is optional and one toggle away. — BUILT FOR HUMANS — Not superhumans. Not people with infinite willpower. Students trying to stay off TikTok. Founders working from home alone. Remote teams that need accountability without micromanaging. Anyone who does better when they're not working alone. ***I've tried every focus app out there. Nothing worked until my friends were watching.*** — Early SoFocus user SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED To access features of SoFocus a subscription is required.

The task is big. Your first step doesn’t have to be. Just Start helps you begin the task you keep putting off. Describe what feels hard to start, find one small action, and take it into a short focus session. MAKE THE FIRST STEP SMALLER Ask the app’s AI for a concrete first step for your own task. Still feels like too much? Ask for a smaller action. If AI is unavailable, you can write your own step or use the timer directly. START WITH TWO OR FIVE MINUTES Begin a short session without answering a survey. Pause when you need to. Longer focus and break presets are available when you want more time. SUPPORT WHEN YOU WANT IT Choose visual timers and ambient sounds. Pro adds more sound options, mixing, and optional AI check-ins. These check-ins are automated messages, not a live person working beside you. KEEP A LITTLE MOMENTUM See your focus history and progress.
