Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus like the ocean — calm, deep, and steady. Sea Focus is an ocean-themed focus timer and task app that turns every work session into a guided underwater journey. Instead of a generic countdown, you start with a simple ritual: choose a route, pick your station, set a focus mode, add sound, and cast off into deep work. Use Sea Focus for study, writing, reading, deep work, and distraction-free focus blocks throughout the day. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Start route-based sessions like Lagoon Route, Reef Edge, and Open Current - Choose a focus mode: Focus, Study, Work, Read, Write, or your own - Attach a task with subtasks and tags for lightweight task tracking - Layer in ambient sound like Ocean Waves and White Noise - Switch between live route graphics, ocean videos, and your own backgrounds - Build a Pomodoro flow with auto-breaks and "Another round?" - Block distracting apps with Focus Shield during active journeys - Track streaks, daily minutes, weekly charts, monthly trends, and best streak - Set daily goals with a visual progress ring - See your countdown on Live Activities, widgets, and StandBy - Get a gentle daily reminder to start your next session FREE - Preset routes (25, 45, 60 min) - 2 ocean biomes and 2 sounds - Up to 3 tasks and 3 tags - 7 days of history, basic stats, and streaks - Daily reminders and Home Screen widgets SEA FOCUS PRO - Custom durations (5–120 min) - All biomes and depth zones - All premium sounds - Unlimited tasks and tags - Full history and advanced stats - Focus Shield distraction blocking - Custom focus modes - Custom photo and video backgrounds - Live Activity, daily and weekly goals If you want a focus app that feels more immersive than a plain Pomodoro timer but still works as a practical daily tool, Sea Focus is built for that middle ground.

Ice Study is a calm visual focus timer for studying, deep work, and Pomodoro sessions. Pick a duration, start your session, and watch a cup of ice slowly melt as you focus. No anxious progress bars. No noisy pressure. Just ice becoming water while you get work done. A focus timer you can feel Choose 25, 50, or 90 minutes, or set your own custom focus session. As time passes, the ice cubes shrink, water rises, droplets form on the glass, and tiny drips fall. When the ice is gone, your session is complete. Pomodoro mode for study sessions Use four 25-minute focus blocks with 5-minute breaks between them. After each break, the cup refills so you can begin the next round with a clean visual reset. Built for calm deep focus Ice Study helps students, writers, coders, remote workers, and people who prefer ADHD-friendly focus routines stay with one task at a time. The app is intentionally minimal, so you can focus without social pressure, aggressive gamification, or clutter. Ambient sounds for concentration Add rain, cafe ambience, ocean waves, or warm white noise when you want a softer study environment. Keep it quiet when you prefer silence. Gentle progress without shame Track daily goals and streaks in a lightweight way. Ice Study encourages consistency without nagging you or making productivity feel stressful. No account required Your sessions, streaks, goals, and preferences are stored locally on your device. Use Ice Study for Study sessions, exam prep, homework, reading, writing, coding, remote work, deep work, ADHD-friendly focus routines, Pomodoro sessions, and quiet productivity. Focus until the ice melts. Privacy Policy: https://icestudy.app/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sea Focus at none against Ice Study's shown. Ice Study's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
