Most productivity apps are built for isolation. Stoke is built for community. Stoke is a social focus timer that makes productivity contagious. Start a session, lock in, and share your progress with friends who are making gains alongside you. HOW IT WORKS Start a focus session by choosing your activity and setting a time goal. Tap the lock in button and get to work. Stoke tracks your total time, monitors drifts when you leave the app, and calculates how dialed in you were. When you're done, you'll see a full breakdown of your session: locked-in time, drift count, % dialed, and how you performed against your goal. Rate your yield, add a vibe, attach photos of your work, and post it to your feed. YOUR FRIENDS ARE LOCKING IN Stoke's home feed shows you what your friends are working on in real time. See their sessions, send a nod of encouragement, and leave comments. It's accountability without the pressure. Finally, a feed that celebrates deep work instead of distraction. Follow friends, work towards your goals, and watch how showing up together changes everything. SET GOALS. TRACK PROGRESS. Create goals around the things that matter to you. Whether that's getting a promotion, studying for a test, writing your substack, working on a coding project, exercising, or just wanting to read more. Set weekly hour targets, link sessions to goals, and track your progress over time. Stoke shows you how close you are to hitting your targets with clear progress bars, streaks, and weekly comparisons so you can see yourself improving. INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Every session comes with insights that break down your focus quality. See your session flow, how long you stayed locked in, whether you hit your goal, and how your focus patterns evolve over time. Your profile tracks lifetime stats: total sessions, best streak, overall dialed percentage, weekly focus time trends, and how you compare to your own averages. KEY FEATURES · Focus timer with drift detection and real-time tracking · Post-session stats: locked-in time, % dialed, time goal progress, yield rating · Social feed to see your friends' sessions and progress · Nods and comments — encourage your circle · Goal setting with weekly targets, schedules, and linked sessions · Session insights with flow visualization and focus breakdowns · Profile with streaks, achievements, and weekly trend comparisons · Clean UI with animated focus orb · Session photos to document your work · Customizable activities, vibes, and privacy controls BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP Stoke isn't another distraction dressed as a productivity app. There's no infinite scroll, no algorithmic feed, no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stoke at none against Focus Quest's 2. Stoke also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Focus Quest's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
