FocusDrop

Read full description

Built by an ADHD developer for ADHD brains. Every other productivity app is designed for people who already have working executive function. FocusDrop is for the rest of us β€” the people who open Notion and immediately forget what they were doing, who add 47 things to Todoist then never look at it again, who buy the planner and lose it in a week. THE CORE LOOP See ONE task at a time, not a wall of 30. Swipe right to focus on it (timer starts immediately). Swipe left to defer to later. Swipe up to mark it done. Swipe down to break it into smaller steps. That's it. No "system" to set up. No customization rabbit hole. The deck is the system. NEW IN v1.4 Need company to start? Co-Focus sits with you through the session β€” a calm, on-device companion that breaks the task into tiny steps and nudges you along. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves your phone. And when your phone is across the room, start a session straight from your Apple Watch β€” your timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. AI TASK BREAKDOWN Stuck on a task? Tap "Break this down with AI" and Apple Intelligence drafts 3-6 concrete sub-steps. Every step starts with a verb. Every step is doable in under 5 minutes. The easiest physical action comes first, so you can just start. - Runs entirely on-device β€” no text ever leaves your iPhone - Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26 + Apple Intelligence enabled - Tap any step to edit, swipe left to delete. The AI gives you a draft. You're the editor. FOCUS TIMER + GAMIFICATION - Built-in focus timer with Sprint (10m), Flow (15m), Deep (25m), and Pomodoro modes - Pro unlocks any custom duration - Earn "drops" for every completed session, build streaks, level up - Streak freezes (Pro): one missed day doesn't reset months of progress - Productivity heatmap (Pro): see when your brain actually works best HABIT RITUALS Daily habits live alongside tasks β€” morning routine, post-focus reset, evening wind-down. Each completion adds to your streak. Each missed day is forgiven. WIDGETS + LOCK SCREEN - Home screen widgets show your next task with a one-tap Focus button - Live timer widget β€” the countdown updates without opening the app - Lock screen widgets in circular, inline, and rectangular sizes PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY "Data Not Collected" badge β€” literally true. Apple Intelligence runs on-device. No accounts. No cloud sync. No tracking. No analytics SDK. The app works completely offline. PRO Unlock everything for $3.99/month, $23.99/year (7-day free trial), or $49.99 once for lifetime access. Cancel anytime in Settings β†’ Apple ID β†’ Subscriptions. Pro unlocks: - Unlimited focus sessions (free tier is capped at 5/day) - Unlimited tasks in deck (free tier is 5) - Custom focus durations - AI Task Breakdown - Mid-session +5 minute extend - Weekly streak freeze - Productivity heatmap - Reward shop - All themes Auto-renewable subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://zhukouski.com/focusdrop/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://zhukouski.com/focusdrop/privacy.html NICHE-FIRST POSITIONING FocusDrop is specifically built for ADHD adults. If you don't have ADHD, you might still find it useful, but the design decisions all favor the ADHD use case: reduce decision paralysis, reward dopamine-seeking behavior, forgive missed days, never punish. If you tried Tiimo and it was too expensive, tried Goblin Tools and wanted something that lived in your phone properly, tried Forest and didn't care about the tree β€” FocusDrop might be the one.

Focus Timer Screen Time

Focus Moon turns every focus session into a small mission. Pick a destination, lock the apps that pull you off course, and stay on board until you land. Most timers only say β€œgo.” Focus Moon gives you a ritual: a route, a quiet cabin, a clear horizon, and a Mission Log that proves the work happened. HOW A MISSION WORKS β€’ Pick a destination: Moon Orbit, Mars Transfer, Europa Flyby, Titan Research, or Deep Space Drift. β€’ Choose what you are working on: Deep Work, Study, Code, Read, Write, Design, or a custom mission type. β€’ Engage Focus Shield to lock distracting apps via Screen Time. β€’ Hit launch. The cabin goes quiet, the route appears, and the rocket starts its run. β€’ Stay on course until you land. Your focused time is logged. STAY ON COURSE β€’ Live Activity and Dynamic Island show progress without unlocking the phone. β€’ Ambient soundscapes such as Spaceship Hum, Deep Space, Rain on Station, Solar Wind, and Command Deck set the cabin mood. β€’ Calm haptics mark launch, countdown, and landing. β€’ Cabin Silence works with iOS Focus modes so notifications stay outside. β€’ Landscape Cockpit View turns iPhone into a flight window for long sessions. AFTER THE MISSION β€’ Mission Log records route, duration, focused time, and apps blocked. β€’ Telemetry tracks total focus hours, streaks, destinations discovered, and weekly progress. β€’ Mission Recap is shareable as a clean card. β€’ Polarity Drift adds a short arcade run after each mission to earn extra flight time. MADE FOR FOCUS, NOT NOISE β€’ No ads. No social pressure. No notification spam. β€’ Works fully offline. Your mission data stays on your device. β€’ No account required.
