Focus Dots vs GP Bubble

Focus Dots is a simple focus timer. Set a duration. Press start. Focus on one thing. There are no streaks to maintain. No productivity analytics. No pressure to optimize yourself. Finish a session and earn a dot. Over time, those dots become quiet records of the moments you chose to focus. Use it for study sessions, deep work, reading, writing, or any task that needs your full attention. Whether you’re working, studying, or just trying to stay distraction-free, Focus Dots helps you stay present.  I built this because I kept getting distracted by focus tools that tried to do too much. This one does less.

GP Bubble is a visual task manager designed to make planning feel lighter, clearer, and faster. Instead of forcing everything into a long, crowded list, GP Bubble shows your active tasks as floating bubbles that naturally surface based on priority and urgency. You can quickly see what matters now, what can wait, and what needs attention next. For times when you want a more structured overview, GP Bubble also includes dedicated list views for all pending tasks, completed tasks, and past-due tasks. This keeps today focused while still making overdue work easy to review and edit. Features: Bubble-based task view ordered by priority and urgency Pending list view for reviewing all active tasks at once Separate past-due view for overdue tasks Completed task history One-off and recurring tasks Flexible effort estimates from 5 minutes to multi-hour tasks Priority-based organization Optional local reminders and notifications Private by default with on-device task storage GP Bubble is built for people who want a task manager that feels visual, lightweight, and easy to maintain every day.
