Deep Session vs Modus

Deep Session is a focus timer built for people who want to sit down and do the work - without fuss, without distractions. No accounts. No ads. No subscriptions. Just a timer. How it works Pick a session - Deep Work, Quick Focus, or Long Session - and press start. A warm-up period eases you in, then the timer begins. When you’re done, you’ll see how long you stayed focused. That’s it. No complicated setup, no overwhelming features. Track your progress See your focus hours for today, this week, and this month. Watch your streak grow as you build a daily deep work habit. Every session is saved locally on your device - your data stays yours. What makes Deep Session different Starts in seconds, not minutes No sign-up or onboarding walls No cloud sync, no servers, no tracking Designed to feel calm and quiet Works completely offline Dark mode that actually looks good Built for deep work Deep Session is inspired by the idea that the hardest part of focused work is simply starting. The app removes every barrier between you and your next session. Open it, tap, and begin. Your focus data never leaves your device. There are no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and no data collection of any kind.

There are timers that track your streaks. Timers that score your sessions. Timers that turn focus into a performance. Modus is built on a different belief: that sitting down and starting is the hardest part, and everything after that is just time passing. Set a quiet intention before you begin, if you want one. Not a goal. Not a commitment you'll feel bad about later. Just a single line to point yourself in a direction. Then start the timer and work. Modus has three modes now. Flowtime lets you work until you naturally stop, then takes a break sized to match, no fixed interval telling you when to quit. Pomodoro breaks your time into structured cycles, 25 minutes of focus, a short rest, a longer rest after four. Open Timer lets you set your own duration and go. None of the three modes judges you. There is no right way to use it. Some sessions will be 25 minutes. Some will be three hours. Some will be ten minutes before you realize you need a walk. All of that is fine. When the session ends, it ends quietly. No score. No streak update. No prompt to share your productivity with anyone. Just a record, kept for you, of the work you sat down to do. No streaks. No daily goals. No pressure language anywhere in the app. If you miss a day, or a week, or a month, Modus will be exactly where you left it. Ready when you are.
