Pebble Focus

Pebble is a focus timer that doesn't feel like a countdown to failure. Set a rhythm that fits how you actually work. Start with a classic 25/5, stretch out to 50/10 or 90/20, or dial in your own custom focus and break lengths down to the minute. Choose a soundscape that shifts gently between focus and break: heavy rain fading to light rain and birdsong, brown noise easing into soft forest wind, or plain silence with just a gentle chime and haptic to mark the transitions. Pick an atmosphere that matches your mood. Moss brings warm cream, fern, and terracotta. Dusk brings blue-grey, lavender, and amber. Switch anytime. Pebble stays out of your way, with gentle phase notifications, optional automatic cycling between sessions, and a simple milestone count so you can watch your progress build session by session. And Pebble keeps focus between you and your phone. There's no account, no sign-up, and no tracking. Your usage stays on your device, always. A calmer way to focus. Tap to begin.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pebble Focus at none against Focus Timer's shown. Focus Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
