FocusTrain vs EkiTime

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 — 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 — forest, mountain, city, coast, desert, snow, and more — 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.

EkiTime is a pomodoro-style focus timer that turns your focus sessions into Shinkansen journeys across Japan. Pick your departure station, choose a destination that matches how long you want to focus, punch your ticket through the gate, and depart. While the train runs, you focus. When you arrive, a station stamp is pressed into your notebook — your focus history becomes a travel log of stations visited, distance covered, and time focused. FEATURES • Buy a ticket and pass the gate — a small ritual to start focusing • Your train actually runs along Japan's real Shinkansen network • Authentic in-train departure boards (4 selectable styles) • Live Activity: check remaining time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Home Screen widget — departure board while riding, your ticket while idle • Door Lock: temporarily restrict apps you choose during a ride (Screen Time) • Station stamp notebook with ekiben (station bento) collection • Focus reports styled after real Japanese railway tickets and timetables PRIVACY • No account required • All records stay on your device — nothing is sent to servers • Location is used only on-device to suggest your nearest station So—how far will you ride today?
