Unheld vs Nod

Unheld is a quiet space for focus. Most focus apps make you watch the clock. Unheld does the opposite. Start a session, put your phone down, and focus without thinking about time. There are no ticking countdowns, no pressure, and no productivity scores. Time is held quietly in the background so you can stay present with your work. Unheld is designed for people who want calm focus instead of urgency — students, creatives, professionals, and anyone who finds traditional timers stressful. Features • One-tap focus sessions • No countdown by default • Gentle end reminders (optional) • Session history for reflection, not tracking • Apple Watch support • Local-only storage — your data stays on your device Premium (One-time purchase) Unlock session history, weekly summaries, and optional tags with a single purchase. No subscriptions. Designed for calm Unheld is not a Pomodoro timer and not a productivity system. It’s a quiet container for focus — so you can stop thinking about time and simply work.

You did not focus for 4 hours. You picked up your phone. Again. Nod is a focus app built around one simple rule: put your phone face down to focus. When your phone stays face down, Nod counts real focus. When you pick it up, Nod catches the pickup. No fake study time. No guessing. No “I was focused” when you checked Instagram 12 times. Use Nod for studying, deep work, reading, coding, homework, exam prep, and distracted days when your phone keeps winning. Nod tracks: • real focus minutes • phone pickups • longest focus run • focus score • daily goals • streaks • weekly truth stats Nod is not another Pomodoro timer. It is not a screen time report you ignore tomorrow. It is a phone pickup tracker that shows the real number. Put your phone face down. Stay there. Pick it up, and Nod knows. Fight the phone pickup. Take back your focus. Nod Pro unlocks unlimited focus sessions, pickup tracking, full focus history, truth stats, streak trends, and score insights.
