FocusTasks vs FocusMono

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/

FocusMono is an all-in-one focus app that combines focus timers, mindfulness meditation, ambient soundscapes, and task management — helping you achieve deep focus, boost productivity, and drift into restful sleep. Three Focus Modes Pomodoro Timer — The classic technique with customizable focus and break durations. Loop through cycles to stay in rhythm. Mindfulness Meditation — Guided breathing exercises with 4 breathing patterns (Equal, Resonance, Relaxing, Energizing), paired with ambient sounds for deep immersion. Free Stopwatch — No preset duration. Focus for as long as you want, stop when you're done. One-Tap Quick Scenes Deep Work, Study, Nap, Meditate, Read, Sleep — 6 high-frequency scenarios that launch both a timer and an ambient mix simultaneously. Zero configuration needed. Scenes are also intelligently sorted by time of day, so the most relevant one is always front and center. 80+ Curated Ambient Sounds Rain (thunderstorm, drizzle, night rain, window rain, tent rain…), Ocean (calm, crashing, nighttime, underwater…), Wind (breeze, howling, mountain, blizzard…), Fire (campfire, fireplace, candle…), Nature (forest, birdsong, frogs, cicadas, whale song…), City (café, library, restaurant, marketplace…), Transit (train, subway, airplane…), Home (fan, clock, kettle…) — over 80 high-quality ambient sounds. There's always one that puts you at ease. Multi-Track Ambient Mixing Layer up to 3 sound tracks with independent per-track volume and master volume control. 5 handcrafted scene presets (Forest Night Rain, Seaside Fire, Valley Morning Mist, Late-Night Study, Summer Courtyard) work right out of the box, or mix your own. Sleep Module A dedicated sleep timer that gently fades out after 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes. It doesn't interfere with Pomodoro stats or trigger break cycles — just pure help falling asleep.
