CineFocus vs Task Focus

CineFocus turns deep work into a cinema ritual. Pick a session, take your seat, tear the ticket — and stay until the credits roll. A focus timer and app blocker for people who want a ritual, not another Pomodoro. Every session is a showing. Every completed session is a memory. Over time, your focus becomes your favorite habit. A FOCUS RITUAL UNLIKE ANY OTHER Choose your session length, pick your seat, select your focus type, and tear the movie ticket to begin. It's deep work, reimagined as cinema — a Pomodoro alternative that doesn't feel like a productivity spreadsheet. IMMERSIVE FOCUS ENVIRONMENTS Sit in a quiet theater. Park at the drive-in under the stars. Each environment is designed to pull you into flow state and keep distractions at the door.

The ticket, the seat, the screen — small details that make deep focus something you actually want to do. No gamified guilt. No dying trees. No airport check-ins. Just you, in the best seat in the house. Turn your phone into a cinema. Turn your focus into a feature film. Get your ticket. Take your seat. The show starts when you do. Love CineFocus?

One thing is enough. Task Focus does one thing. It pauses the apps that pull you away, for as long as one task takes. You write down the one thing you are doing, you pick what to pause, and everything else waits. There is no countdown. Not on the screen, not in a notification, not anywhere. A focus ends when you say it is finished — not when a timer decides you failed. WHAT IT DOES • Pauses the apps you choose, using Screen Time. Feeds, timelines, the endless pull-to-refresh — closed until you are done. • Puts the one thing on your Lock Screen and in a widget, so it is always one glance away and never out of sight. • Gives everything back the moment you tap "I'm done". One toggle in Settings takes it back too, any time. • Keeps what you finished, so a week adds up to something. NOTHING HERE IS A TARGET No streaks to break. No score to keep up. No badge for a good week and no guilt for a quiet one. The history is a record, not a report card. FREE, AND PRO Pausing apps is free and always will be. Task Focus Pro is everything the app remembers afterwards: • Every session you finish, kept for good — free keeps this week • What your focus actually adds up to • A profile for each kind of focus, so the right apps pause for the right work Pro opens on its own for seven days, the first time you finish a focus. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to cancel. When the seven days are up, history goes back to the last week, insights to this week, and profiles to one — nothing is deleted, and pausing apps carries on free as always. One payment. No renewal. Nothing to cancel. YOURS TO TAKE WITH YOU Your history follows you between your own devices through your iCloud account, and exports as a file you keep — whatever you use next. Nothing is collected. What you focus on, and what you choose to pause, stay on your device and in your own private iCloud database. We cannot read either one.
