Grove Focus vs Focus Aura

Grove Focus is a guilt-free productivity timer that grows a beautiful garden as you stay focused — and never punishes you when life gets in the way. GROW YOUR GROVE Every completed focus session plants a unique tree in your personal garden. Trees vary by season, session type, and duration — your grove becomes a living record of your productivity journey, rendered with procedural graphics that make every tree one of a kind. FOCUS YOUR WAY • Choose from 15, 25, 45, or 60-minute sessions — or dial in any duration from 5 to 120 minutes • Four session types: Work, Study, Creative, and Meditate • Guilt-free pausing — up to 3 short breaks per session without losing progress • Real-time countdown circle with a growing tree animation while you focus NO PUNISHMENT, ONLY GROWTH Failed sessions leave no trace. There are no dead trees, no broken streaks, no guilt. Grove Focus believes that setbacks are part of the process — your garden only grows, never shrinks. Streaks extend only when you succeed. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • View all your trees in a seasonal garden grid • Focus time, current streak, and tree count at a glance • Seasonal themes — spring, summer, autumn, and winter change the look of your grove • Stats automatically refresh whenever you add a new session CLEAN & NATIVE Grove Focus is built with SwiftUI and SwiftData — it's fast, private, and feels native to iOS 17. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud required. Your data lives on your device. HONEST PRICING One-time $1.99. That's it. No in-app purchases, no premium tiers, no "Grove Focus Pro." Everything is included. — Grove Focus is made by Black Automations, a solo developer focused on building simple, honest apps for iOS.

Turn focus into a habit you actually look forward to. Focus Aura makes deep work feel rewarding — and beautiful. Plant a seed, start a focus session, and watch it grow into a stunning plant every time you stay on task. Lose focus, and your plant wilts. A gentle nudge to keep going. FOCUS WITH FRIENDS Add friends with a personal invite link or code. See your focus week next to theirs, spot who is focusing right now, and cheer them on mid-session. Friends see your time and your level — never your tasks. A STUNNING SPACE TO FOCUS We obsessed over every detail. A calm dark interface, soft glowing animations, and a living garden that's a genuine pleasure to open. Focus Aura doesn't just track your time — it makes the experience feel like a tiny moment of calm in your day. THREE FOCUS MODES Strict — leave the app and your plant dies. Maximum discipline.
