Most Pomodoro timers fail because they can't stop you from picking up your phone. FocusKit can. On-device AI watches your gaze — look away, and the timer stops. Built for ADHD brains, students, and anyone whose attention breaks the second a notification buzzes. —— WHAT MAKES FOCUSKIT DIFFERENT —— → AI FOCUS GUARD The front camera watches your attention. Look away and the timer pauses. Look back and it resumes. Everything runs on-device — no cloud, no data leaves your phone. → STRICT MODE Lock distracting apps with the iOS Screen Time API. Once a session starts, Instagram, TikTok and X stay closed until you finish. No willpower required. → POMODORO & DEEP WORK Classic 25-minute Pomodoros, custom intervals, or open-ended deep work sessions. Whatever your focus style, FocusKit fits it. → FOCUS SOUNDS Rain, thunder, wind, coffee shop, fire and white noise. Layer them or run one. → LIVE ACTIVITY & LOCK SCREEN Your countdown lives on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and StandBy. No unlock, no scroll. → PROGRESS ANALYTICS Focus hours, streaks, best days, completion rate. See what drains your attention before it does. —— HOW IT WORKS —— 1. Pick a session length and the apps you want blocked. 2. Hit Start. AI watches your focus; Strict Mode guards your screen. 3. Finish. Earn coins. Build the streak. —— BUILT FOR —— • ADHD minds breaking the dopamine loop • Students prepping for exams and finals • Knowledge workers running long, uninterrupted blocks • Anyone on a digital detox or building a study routine —— PRIVACY —— Face detection runs entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework.

タイマーとプリセット機能のみ。シンプルなポモドーロタイマーで、作業に没入しましょう。 【アプリについて】 タイマー、プリセット、通知。Aideの機能はこれだけです。 記録、実績、グラフ、ランキング、BGM、育成要素等は一切ありません。 目指したのは「集中するための時間を測る」という、ただそれだけの役割に徹することです。 道具は、使う人の目的を遂行するための手段であって、使い続けること自体が目的になってしまっては本末転倒だと考えています。 「今日も継続した」という満足感より先に、目の前の作業に集中できること。 Aideはその一点だけを大切にしています。 【主な機能】 ・タイマー  シンプルなポモドーロタイマー機能です。 ・プリセット  集中時間・休憩時間・サイクルを細かく設定できます。  「25分」にこだわらず、自分に合ったリズムを見つけてください。 ・プリセットの切り替え  プリセット選択ボタンから、適用したいプリセットを選ぶだけ。  ホーム画面を離れることなく、すぐに切り替えられます。 【こんな方におすすめです】 ・タイマーアプリに、余計な機能を求めていない方 ・記録や実績よりも、今この瞬間の集中を大切にしたい方 ・自分だけの集中/休憩サイクルを見つけたい方 【価格について】 無料でご利用いただけます(広告表示あり)。 広告を非表示にしたい場合は、アプリ内課金にてご購入いただけます。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FocusKit at none against Aide's shown. FocusKit also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Aide's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
