Focus. To Do vs YourScroll

Most to-do apps do too much. Focus. does just enough. Focus. is a simple, distraction-free task manager designed for minds that work differently. No calendars, no timelines, no overwhelming features — just your tasks, organized by what matters most right now. Add tasks, set urgency, and label them your way. That's it. Because when everything feels urgent, clarity is everything. Use it offline, locally on your device — or sign in with Google to back up and sync your tasks across devices. No account required to get started. FEATURES · Urgency levels — know what needs your attention first · Custom labels — organize tasks the way your brain works · Dark mode — easy on the eyes, any time of day · Clean, minimal interface — nothing to distract you from what matters Focus. is for people who want to spend less time managing their list and more time actually doing it. One list. Total clarity. Just focus.

YourScroll blocks the apps you lose hours to, and challenges you to reflect to get them back. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you want to restrict and a daily limit. When that time is up, they lock. The next time you go to use them, YourScroll gives you a prompt to think about instead. Once you have taken a second to write an answer, you can use your apps freely, or decide you would actually rather get on with your day. There are hundreds of carefully curated prompts across ten categories, including Stoicism, Personal Identity, Creative Writing, Social Media, Relationships and Gratitude. Pick the categories you want to see and ignore the rest. Every entry stays in your own personal scroll, a record of all the times you took a second to use your brain. EXTRA FEATURES - Focus sessions. Need to lock in? Block your chosen apps for as long as you need, at any point in the day. - Bedtime. Schedule your apps to switch off at night and protect your sleep. - Banked time. Write while you still have screen time left and bank up to 20 minutes for later. - Strict Lock. For when you do not trust yourself later. With Strict Lock on, weakening any setting means reproducing a 141 word passage exactly. Any mistakes and you start again. PRIVACY - No account, no sign-up, nothing to log into. - Everything you write stays on your phone, because there is nowhere else for it to go. - YourScroll cannot even see which apps you picked. iOS keeps that to itself. PRICING - Free. - No in-app purchases. - No subscription. - No ads.
