Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Focus One
Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus One is a simple focus timer for people who want to start one task, stay with it, and reduce mental clutter. Choose what you will do now, set a timer, and begin. The app keeps the screen quiet so you can return to the one thing in front of you. The settings screen lets you choose the app language, so the app can be localized to the language you select. Useful for study, work, Pomodoro-style sessions, ADHD-friendly routines, and building a visible focus record over time.
Daily Frog

I built this app for myself because I was tired of "productivity" apps that felt like more work than the work itself. I didn't need a complex project manager with endless sub-tasks and tag systems. I just needed to know what to do first. Eat the Frog is a minimalist daily planner built on two legendary productivity principles: the Ivy Lee Method and Brian Tracy’s "Eat That Frog" philosophy. The Rule is Simple: Every morning (or the night before), you define 6 tasks. 1. Task #1 is your Frog. The hardest, most important thing you’re avoiding. 2. Tasks #2–6 are your supporting goals. You do not move on until the Frog is eaten. Once it’s done, the rest of the day feels like a downhill coast. Why this app? •Focused Planning: You only get 6 slots. It forces you to choose what actually matters. •Premium Dark UI: Built with a slick charcoal and yellow aesthetic that looks professional and stays out of your way. •Smart Reminders: Set individual notifications for every task to keep your day on track. •Consistency Tracking: Track your progress with a streak system that runs Thursday to Wednesday. •Privacy First: No accounts. No cloud syncing. Your data never leaves your device. I use this every single morning to stay sane and productive. If you’re overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list, maybe it’s time you just started eating your frogs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Daily Frog at every 4 days against Focus One's every 2 weeks. Daily Frog also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
