Ice Study is a calm visual focus timer for studying, deep work, and Pomodoro sessions. Pick a duration, start your session, and watch a cup of ice slowly melt as you focus. No anxious progress bars. No noisy pressure. Just ice becoming water while you get work done. A focus timer you can feel Choose 25, 50, or 90 minutes, or set your own custom focus session. As time passes, the ice cubes shrink, water rises, droplets form on the glass, and tiny drips fall. When the ice is gone, your session is complete. Pomodoro mode for study sessions Use four 25-minute focus blocks with 5-minute breaks between them. After each break, the cup refills so you can begin the next round with a clean visual reset. Built for calm deep focus Ice Study helps students, writers, coders, remote workers, and people who prefer ADHD-friendly focus routines stay with one task at a time. The app is intentionally minimal, so you can focus without social pressure, aggressive gamification, or clutter. Ambient sounds for concentration Add rain, cafe ambience, ocean waves, or warm white noise when you want a softer study environment. Keep it quiet when you prefer silence. Gentle progress without shame Track daily goals and streaks in a lightweight way. Ice Study encourages consistency without nagging you or making productivity feel stressful. No account required Your sessions, streaks, goals, and preferences are stored locally on your device. Use Ice Study for Study sessions, exam prep, homework, reading, writing, coding, remote work, deep work, ADHD-friendly focus routines, Pomodoro sessions, and quiet productivity. Focus until the ice melts. Privacy Policy: https://icestudy.app/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pomodoro Dungeon at none against Ice Study's shown. Pomodoro Dungeon also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
