FocusTasks vs ZenFocus

FocusTasks combines a Pomodoro timer and a task manager into one app for building a daily focus habit. No account required. Works fully offline, with no ads and no tracking. Start a session in one tap from the home screen widget or your Apple Watch, and watch your streak grow. ■ Main Features • Pomodoro timer: work and break sessions switch automatically — durations are fully customizable • Task management: organize your day with "Today's Focus" and a backlog • Stats & streaks: daily, weekly and monthly focus time with a streak counter • Share your wins: post "6 pomodoros done today!" in one tap • Home screen widget: your next task and a start button, right on the home screen • Apple Watch: start, pause and complete tasks from your wrist • Notifications: get notified when a session ends, even in the background • Dark mode / available in 9 languages ■ Privacy First • No account. All data stays on your device • No ads, no analytics, nothing leaves your phone ■ Why "End by Time"? In FocusTasks, sessions always end when the timer runs out — even if the task isn't finished. This design uses the Zeigarnik effect: a psychological finding that people remember unfinished tasks better and are more motivated to resume them. By stopping mid-task when the timer ends, your work naturally stays "in progress", making it easier to pick up again later. It lowers the mental barrier to restarting and helps you build a sustainable study and work habit. ■ Great For • Building a study habit for school, exams or certifications • Staying on track while working from home • Anyone who never sticks with task management apps • People looking for a simple, privacy-friendly focus timer ■ Terms of Use https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Leaving your seat with the timer running? That's not studying. ZenFocus analyzes your AirPods' motion sensor and Apple Watch's heart rate & movement to distinguish genuine focus time from distraction. Not "time spent sitting" — but your actual focused time. [Key Features] ▶ AirPods Focus Detection Your AirPods' motion sensor tracks whether they're worn and how your head moves, so we can tell when you're truly focused. No extra devices needed — just your AirPods. ▶ Apple Watch Integration Check your real-time focus level from your wrist and start or stop sessions right from the Watch app. Heart rate and wrist movement are analyzed together for more accurate tracking. ▶ Detailed Statistics View today's, this week's, and all-time study hours at a glance — and understand your learning patterns. ▶ Nationwide Rankings Compare your study hours with other students through regional and nationwide leaderboards to stay motivated. [Who It's For] • Anyone curious about their actual focus time — not just how long they sat at a desk • Students preparing for exams, college, or certifications who want data-driven study habits • Self-studiers who need motivation to keep going Start tracking your real study time with ZenFocus today.
