FocusTasks vs FocusFlow Focus Timer

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/

FocusFlow shields only for the length of your session. Blocking turns on when you start, off when the timer ends. That's it. Combined with Flowtime — where the timer counts up instead of down — you get a system that respects real deep-work rhythms instead of forcing you into rigid 25-minute chunks. PRICE The core Pomodoro timer, stats, streaks, widgets, and Live Activity are free forever. FocusFlow Plus adds Focus Shield app blocking, Flowtime open-ended sessions, and the Apple Watch companion. Try Plus with a 7-day free trial. Focus is hard. FocusFlow makes it easier.
