Campfire OS

Campfire OS — A sanctuary for deep work. Turn focus into a fire you tend. Start a session, set your phone face-down, and your campfire climbs higher and brighter with every minute of deep work. Pick your phone up mid-session and a storm rolls in — flip it back face-down within 20 seconds to save the camp. It's focus you can feel: a calm, beautiful ritual that rewards you for staying off the screen, instead of nagging you when you don't. THE RITUAL • Set your focus time and tap Start. • Place your phone face-down — the fire only grows while the screen rests. • Stay the course, and your streak climbs, night after night. SHIELD DISTRACTIONS Choose the apps and categories that break your focus, and Campfire shields them for the length of your session using Apple's Screen Time. No willpower required — the distractions simply aren't there. FIVE SIGNATURE ATMOSPHERES Set the mood for deep work with hand-crafted scenes, each with its own immersive ambience: • Alps — a clear night above the treeline • Cyberpunk — neon haze over a rooftop brazier • Rainforest — a warm hearth in the fog • Arctic — aurora drifting over blue snow • Desert — a canyon of stars over red rock BUILD A STREAK WORTH PROTECTING Every camp you keep builds a streak, with your sessions and stats stored privately on your device — and synced across your devices with iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No advertising. Nothing to track. Motion and Screen Time data are processed only on your device, and your data never leaves your phone unless you turn on iCloud sync. Tend the fire. Guard your focus. The deep work is yours to keep. Terms of Use: https://vivaapps.co/campfire-os-app/terms Privacy Policy: https://vivaapps.co/campfire-os-app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Campfire OS at every 4 days against Cafe Pomo's every 6 weeks. Cafe Pomo's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
