Every minute of focus is a kilometer traveled. Focus Train transforms your work sessions into real train journeys across Europe, turning productivity into something you'll actually look forward to. You choose your route. You select your seat. You board. Before each session, open the interactive map, pick your origin and destination, and receive your digital ticket. While you work, an animated landscape scrolls past: dense forests, snow-capped peaks, European cities, and Mediterranean coasts glide by your window at the exact pace of your focus. Nothing and no one can interrupt you. Focus Train automatically blocks the apps that distract you most during the journey, thanks to Screen Time integration. Your mind stays on the trip until you reach your destination β no detours, no temptations. Every arrival is a real achievement. Collect stamps in your virtual passport for every completed route, accumulate kilometers traveled, and build daily streaks that reflect your consistency. Your session history reminds you, with clarity and pride, how far you've come. Track your journey at all times. With Live Activity support, your trip progress appears directly on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, without needing to open the app. The journey continues, even while you're working. A universe of landscapes to explore. Choose from eight distinct settings β forest, mountain, city, coast, desert, snow, and more β each designed to wrap your focus in calm, detail, and visual beauty that invites you to stay. Focus Train is not just another timer. It's a different way of understanding work: the idea that effort deserves a reward, that every session has a destination, and that arriving is always worth it. Board the train. Your next journey starts now.

Are you tired of endless to-do lists? Calm Commit is a gentle task management app that helps you choose the one thing that matters most today and keep it visible on your Home Screen. Instead of trying to manage every task perfectly, focus on the one thing that would make today feel worthwhile. If you can finish it, today is a good day. Your Daily Commitment Each morning, choose one thing you want to focus on most. For example: - Finish the first draft of a proposal - Submit presentation materials - Clean your room - Make plans with your family - Study for just 30 minutes Write down the one thing that would make you think, βIf I finish this, today will be great.β When it is done, simply tap the completion button. Calm Commit gives your day a clear focus and makes it easier to feel a small, satisfying sense of progress. Home Screen Widgets Your daily commitment can be displayed as a Home Screen widget. Even without opening the app, you can see what matters most today every time you look at your phone. On busy days, it helps you avoid getting swept away by notifications and distractions, and gently reminds you what you decided to care about today. Widget Memo Separate from your daily commitment, you can also place a free memo on your Home Screen. Use it for shopping lists, things to bring, appointments, quick notes, or anything you do not want to forget. For example: - Buy eggs - Bring an umbrella - Call at 10:00 - Take out the trash tomorrow It works like a quiet sticky note for your phoneβs Home Screen. If-Then Habits Habits are hard to build with willpower alone. With Calm Commit, you can create habits in an If-Then format: βIf this happens, then I will do that.β For example: - After brushing my teeth in the morning, drink a glass of water - Before starting work, check todayβs commitment - After lunch, walk for five minutes - Before going to bed, prepare for tomorrow By deciding when and what to do in advance, it becomes easier to take action naturally. Streaks When you check off a habit, your streak grows. Not like a flame burning intensely, but like a quiet wave that keeps moving forward. Calm Commit helps you record small daily wins with a calm, gentle feeling. Notes Calm Commit also includes a simple notes feature. Write down thoughts, shopping lists, work notes, ideas, or anything else you want to keep. You can use it as a simple notebook, or as a supporting space for your daily commitment. Why This App Was Created Calm Commit was inspired by the book Task Management for People Who Never Have Enough Time. The app focuses on the most practical parts of the bookβs approach: choosing one daily commitment and building habits with If-Then planning. It is not meant to help you do more and more forever. It is designed to help you decide what really matters today, complete it, and end the day feeling good.
