Orbit vs FocusPipe

You simply see on your screen that someone else is still focusing. It's made for people who find it hard to keep going alone, but don't want the connections of social media. ■ Focus quietly, together • Choose "With others" and start.

For brains that know what to do — but can't seem to start. FocusPipe is a calm, no-shame focus app for people with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or anyone who freezes at "just get started." It uses AI to break any task into a handful of small, physical, doable micro-steps — sized to how much energy you actually have today. WHY MICRO-STEPS The hardest part of "clean the kitchen" isn't the work. It's deciding where to start. FocusPipe takes whatever you're avoiding and turns it into a sequence like: • Walk to the sink • Move the cups to the left side • Run hot water for 30 seconds Each step is concrete enough to start without thinking. ENERGY-ADAPTIVE Pick High, Medium, or Low energy and the AI sizes the breakdown to match. Low-energy days get more, smaller steps. High-energy days get a tighter sequence so you can keep momentum. ON-DEVICE OR CLOUD AI On iPhones with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26+), FocusPipe can run the entire breakdown on-device — your task text never leaves your phone. If on-device AI isn't available, it falls back to a privacy-respecting cloud model that doesn't store your text. WHAT'S INSIDE • Task breakdown — paste any task, get instant micro-steps • Decision rescue — can't pick what to do? The app picks for you, weighted by priority and energy • Brain dump — write everything in your head; the app pulls out actionable items and tags emotions without judgment • "Too Hard" re-breakdown — stuck on a step? Split it into even smaller ones with one tap • Streaks & weekly review — see your patterns without guilt • Gentle reminders — nudges, not pressure PRIVACY FIRST • All analytics are local — no third-party tracking, no ad SDKs • Tasks, steps, energy logs, and streaks live on your device • Export everything as JSON or CSV, anytime • No account required Pricing • Monthly: $3.99 • Yearly: $34.99 — about $2.92/month (save 27%) WHO IT'S FOR • Adults with ADHD or executive dysfunction • Anyone who procrastinates by overthinking • People recovering from burnout or stuck in low-energy days • Folks tired of "just be more disciplined" advice WHAT IT WON'T DO • Shame you for missing a day • Sell your data • Make you sign up before trying it • Pretend a streak is worth more than your wellbeing If you've ever sat at your desk knowing exactly what to do and still couldn't move — FocusPipe was built for that exact feeling. ———— Subscription details: • Pro Monthly: $3.99/month, auto-renewing • Pro Yearly: $34.99/year, auto-renewing • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase • Subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage or cancel: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → FocusPipe Privacy Policy: https://yoursite.example/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
