Focura vs Time Blocking

Most focus timers ship one rigid setup. Focura asks one question — do you struggle to start, stay, or stop? — 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: • Starting — 5-minute first wins and gentle pacing, no pressure haptics • Staying — classic 25s with a soft haptic heartbeat anchoring the last minute • Stopping — 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 — Focura keeps counting. MISSED A BLOCK? NO SHAME. • Smart Reschedule finds it a new slot in one tap (Premium) • Skipping records a reason, not a failure — and your streak forgives it • Streaks come with freeze days, so a rough day doesn't break the chain • 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 — set your own day's start and end.

Time blocking, done properly: give every hour of your day a name, a color, and a place on a real timeline — then find out where those hours actually went. Most planners hand you a list and hope for the best. A list has no width, so it never warns you that your "quick morning" is already seven hours long. TimeBlock puts your day on an hour-by-hour timeline you can see: each block sits at its real start time, at its real length, in its own color. The moment your day is overbooked, the timeline shows it — before the day starts, not after it collapses. WHAT YOU GET - A day you can actually see: blocks sit on an hour-by-hour timeline with a live "now" line, so you always know what you should be doing this minute - Realistic plans instead of wishful lists: set a start time and a duration, and an overloaded day becomes obvious at a glance - A planned day in one tap: pick Deep Work Day, Study Day, Creative Day, or Balanced Day and the whole timeline fills in - The truth about your week: donut and bar charts, a 7-day activity map, hours planned, and your most-repeated blocks - A finish rate you can defend: tick blocks off and watch your daily completion score in the Coach tab - A nudge every evening so tomorrow gets planned tonight, plus coaching on time boxing, buffer time, theme days, and strategic breaks PERFECT FOR - Deep-work professionals protecting long, uninterrupted focus windows - Students building study sessions with breaks that are planned, not accidental - Freelancers and creatives who need work, admin, and rest to coexist in one day - Anyone whose to-do list keeps growing while the day keeps disappearing WHY NOT JUST USE A TO-DO LIST OR YOUR CALENDAR? A to-do list is infinite; your day is not. A calendar is built for meetings other people booked, not for the focus time you owe yourself. TimeBlock does one job only — laying out your own hours, in color, and showing you afterwards how you really spent them. Nothing to invite, nothing to negotiate, no meeting requests in the way. PRIVACY Every block, note, and template you apply stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking. Nothing you plan ever leaves the device. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks everything in the app: unlimited time blocks, all eight block colors and per-block notes, the full day-template library, the Insights dashboard with charts and your 7-day activity map, and the Coach tab with your daily score, tips, and planning methods. Available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Open the Today tab, add your first block for tomorrow morning, and see how much day you really have.
