FocusDrop

Know what you need to do, but finding it hard to begin? FocusDrop helps you start one task at a time. Add a task, make the first step smaller, and try two minutes of focus. You don't have to finish everything to make a start. ONE TASK IN FRONT OF YOU Your tasks live in a swipe deck. Swipe right to focus, left for later, up to mark done, or down for details. Keep the next decision small. START SMALLER Tap Start smaller on a task to see one immediate first action, then start a two-minute timer. If you've already written steps, FocusDrop starts with your next unfinished one. This feature works without Apple Intelligence or Pro, within the free focus-session allowance. FOCUS AT YOUR PACE Use short focus sessions, Pomodoro, or open-ended focus. Pause when you need to and keep going when it helps. Countdown widgets and Live Activities keep timed sessions visible; open-ended sessions do not display a countdown Live Activity. QUIET COMPANY WHEN YOU WANT IT Co-Focus is an optional Pro companion that offers calm prompts during your session. It is a software companion, not a live person. On compatible devices, Apple Intelligence can personalize its coaching and generate task breakdowns (also Pro). Other supported devices use the companion's built-in prompts. HABITS THAT FIT REAL LIFE Track daily, weekly and custom-day habits, or repeat a chore every N days. Pause habits and return when you're ready. Mark a gentle rest day, see your consistency, and use the available streak-repair option after one missed day. Turn on Quiet celebrations for a calmer experience while keeping your earned progress. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch companion works with your paired iPhone to start focus sessions and check off habits from your wrist. Home and Lock Screen widgets help keep your next task close. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No FocusDrop account is required. Tasks and sessions are stored on your device and can sync through your own iCloud account when available. Calendar access is optional: FocusDrop only reads today's events to show them on your deck and never changes your calendar. AI generation runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. FocusDrop has no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. FREE TO START, PRO FOR MORE The free tier includes up to 7 deck tasks and 5 focus sessions per day, including small starts, plus habits and progress tracking. Pro adds unlimited tasks and sessions, Co-Focus, AI task breakdown on compatible devices, custom durations, streak freezes, and more personalization and insights. Choose monthly, annual or lifetime access. Current local prices and any eligible introductory offer are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 18 or later. The Apple Watch companion requires watchOS 10 or later and a paired iPhone. AI-generated features require an Apple Intelligence compatible iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or later) running iOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence turned on and available for your language and region. The small-start feature works without AI. Built by an independent developer with ADHD, for the moments getting started feels hard. FocusDrop is a productivity tool, not medical treatment.
