Deep Focus Timer vs Zonein Timer

Calibrate is a deep focus timer with a simple idea: empty your head first, then sit with one thing. Start with a brain dump — everything on your mind becomes a simple, organized to-do list. Swipe one line to begin a focus session. While you sit, Calibrate checks in quietly on your Lock Screen: still present, or did something pull you away? You answer in one tap. That's the whole mechanic. If you've outgrown the rigid 25/5 of pomodoro, this is what comes after: sessions that fit you, gentle check-ins instead of alarms, and an honest record instead of a score. Over time, the answers become something rare: an honest record of your attention. Not a score. Not a streak. A quiet mirror. WHAT'S INSIDE • Deep focus sessions — open-ended, with gentle check-ins at your rhythm • Live Activity on the Lock Screen — your sitting stays present without unlocking your phone • Brain dump to to-dos — capture fast, sort into spaces later • The done list — finished things stay visible; your day ends with evidence, not guilt • Keeping track — "when did I last change the filter?" Cross a to-do off, keep track of it, and the date is always there • Weekly recap — your week, mirrored back in one calm card, with one line you carry into the next • No streaks, no shame, no red badges — Calibrate helps you notice; it never judges WHO IT'S FOR People who've tried blockers and streak apps and want something gentler. Students in long study sessions. Anyone whose attention wanders — ADHD brains welcome; the app never punishes a wandered mind, it just asks kindly. Free for 14 days, everything open — no card needed. After that, your to-dos, journal, and history stay free forever. Calibrate Plus (focus sessions, habit intelligence, new weekly recaps) is a monthly or yearly subscription (prices shown in the App Store).

Zonein is a minimal focus timer that hides time while you work. No stats. No streaks. No gamification. Just a beautiful timer that gets out of your way. How it works: - Set your focus duration and tap Start - Time disappears — you see only "Focus" and a subtle ambient animation - Tap the amber button to briefly peek at remaining time, then it fades back into fog - When focus ends, a gentle sound and haptic notify you - Rest countdown begins automatically - After rest, you're back to the start — ready for another round Features: - Focus & Rest two-phase timer - Time hidden during focus with fog-reveal effect - Organic aurora animation - Customizable focus (5–120 min) and rest (1–60 min) durations - Sound and haptic feedback - Light and dark mode with warm material palette - Background timer with local notifications - Zero data collection, zero accounts, zero internet Zonein is not a productivity tool. It's a ritual.
