Focura
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most focus timers ship one rigid setup. Focura asks one question โ do you struggle to start, stay, or stop? โ then tunes the timer, haptics, and pacing to match. Built for ADHD brains. Works for anyone fighting a 25-minute box. A TIMER THAT FITS HOW YOU FOCUS Pick your struggle and Focura adjusts the physics: โข Starting โ 5-minute first wins and gentle pacing, no pressure haptics โข Staying โ classic 25s with a soft haptic heartbeat anchoring the last minute โข Stopping โ longer blocks and 10-minute wind-downs, because transitions hurt YOUR CALENDAR BECOMES THE PLAN Connect iOS Calendar (read-only) and your events appear as locked time blocks, so the day is never empty. If a meeting starts mid-session, Focura auto-pauses your timer and lets you know. HYPERFOCUS IS CELEBRATED, NOT PUNISHED Run past the timer and the screen turns green: Flow State. No alarm yanking you out, no red "overtime" guilt. Keep going โ Focura keeps counting. MISSED A BLOCK? NO SHAME. โข Smart Reschedule finds it a new slot in one tap (Premium) โข Skipping records a reason, not a failure โ and your streak forgives it โข Streaks come with freeze days, so a rough day doesn't break the chain โข Fresh Start resets the day without erasing what you already did BRAIN DUMP YOUR REMINDERS Your iOS Reminders show up as an inbox on the Today tab. Tap one, give it a time, done. Finish the session and Focura offers to check the reminder off. A DAY YOU CAN SEE A visual timeline where every block is sized to its real duration. Drag to reorder. Pin a block to a time, or let Focura slot it into the next free gap. Morning person or night owl โ set your own day's start and end. ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY Lock Screen Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and a Home Screen widget keep your current block and today's progress visible without unlocking your phone. 100% ON-DEVICE No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. Your blocks and sessions live in your iPhone's local database. Your focus, your data, your control.

Current
Read full descriptionHide full description
Plans change. Current keeps up. Most planners break the moment your day stops going to plan. Current is built for what actually happens: you start late, a meeting runs over, something urgent lands in the middle. One tap, and your remaining tasks reshuffle around the commitments that can't move. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT Every task is either Fixed (the 2pm meeting, the school run) or Flexible (everything else). Current's cascade engine flows your flexible tasks around your fixed ones โ so your plan always matches reality, without you rebuilding it by hand. โข Start your day when you actually start โ your schedule rebuilds from that moment โข Drag one block and watch the rest of your day ripple into place โข Pause your day when life interrupts, and pick up exactly where you left off โข Add buffers for commutes, prep, and breathing room โ they're scheduled like the real time they are YOUR DAY DOESN'T END AT MIDNIGHT Working late, or on a night shift? Current rolls your day over during your off-hours โ not at the stroke of midnight โ so a 1am task still belongs to tonight, not tomorrow. PLAN ONCE, REUSE FOREVER โข Recurring tasks fill your week automatically โข Save any day as a template and apply it in one tap โ or schedule it to apply itself โข Capture ideas in the Inbox now, slot them into a day when you're ready CONNECTED, NOT COMPLICATED โข Two-way calendar sync: your tasks show up as events, your events show up on your timeline โข Per-task reminders, plus an optional morning briefing before your day starts โข A home-screen widget with what's next PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your plans stay on your device unless you choose to sync them. No ads. Current is for people who plan carefully and still get interrupted. Structure, without the rigidity. Your day, reorganized. Free to use. Current Pro unlocks recurring tasks, unlimited templates, calendar sync, buffer time, custom reminder timing, and unlimited pauses.
