Focus One vs DidThat

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.

DidThat is a done list - the opposite of a to-do list. Instead of planning what you should do, you log what you already did. There are no goals to miss, no boxes left unchecked, and no failure state. You just notice what you accomplished, and the app quietly celebrates it. The idea is simple: ADHD brains and busy people massively underestimate how much they get done in a day. DidThat fixes that by giving you a place to capture it all - from "replied to an email at work" to "got out of bed" to "made lunch." Everything counts. HOW IT WORKS Tap to log what you just did. That's it. An entry goes on your list with a timestamp. Do this throughout the day and watch your count grow. At the end of the day, you'll be surprised how much was on it. FEATURES - Freeform entries — type whatever you want, no templates or predefined tasks - Optional categories — tag entries like Work, Self-Care, Home, Social, or Fun, or don't - uncategorised is fine - History — browse past days, weeks, and months to see what you did - Insights — weekly and all-time views with category breakdowns and your most active days - 6 colour themes — each with light and dark mode, follows your device setting or set manually - Home screen widgets — see your count at a glance and tap to log - Daily nudge — an optional evening notification that tells you how many things you did today (and stays silent on days you didn't log) - No zeros anywhere — if you haven't logged anything today, the app shows a friendly prompt instead of "0 things done" - iCloud sync — your entries sync across all your devices automatically DESIGNED FOR ENCOURAGEMENT DidThat is built around one principle: every interaction should feel like a small win. The count bounces when you log something. Your history shows colourful bars that grow with each entry. Days you didn't log simply don't appear - no gaps, no guilt. The insights page shows patterns without ever comparing you to yourself or setting targets. There are no streaks that break. No week-over-week comparisons. No "you did less than last week" messaging. Just your data, presented warmly, without judgment. PRICING DidThat is free to try for 5 days with full access to every feature. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app forever. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. PRIVACY All your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. DidThat has no analytics, no third-party tracking, and no server. Your entries are yours.
