DeskFocus vs NeckUp

DeskFocus helps you work better by tracking how you sit, stand, and focus throughout the day — all without an account, subscription, or internet connection. Everything stays on your device, privately. **DESK MODE — POSTURE TIMER** Know exactly how long you've been sitting or standing. Start a stopwatch to count up, or set a countdown for your next posture switch. DeskFocus reminds you when you've been sitting too long and celebrates every 30 minutes of standing with a burst of confetti. **POMODORO MODE — FOCUS TIMER** Work in focused 25-minute sprints with built-in short and long breaks. Add tasks, pick what you're working on, and let DeskFocus guide your session. After every 4 Pomodoros, a long break kicks in automatically. **STANDING GOALS + WEEKLY RINGS** Set a daily standing target and track your progress across the week with Monday–Friday goal rings. See at a glance which days you hit your goal, which you missed, and how today is shaping up. **LIVE ACTIVITY** Your timer stays visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while you work. Pause or clear your session without unlocking your phone. **ACTIVITY LOG** Review today's and this week's sitting and standing time. Export your data as JSON whenever you want it. **WELLNESS FACTS** A curated carousel of desk health facts keeps you informed between sessions — auto-advancing with sources included. **COMPLETELY PRIVATE** No account. No server. No tracking. Your data never leaves your device. Even clearing your browser data won't affect it — DeskFocus stores everything locally on your iPhone. Whether you use a standing desk, want to build better posture habits, or just need a reliable Pomodoro timer, DeskFocus is the one tool that covers your whole workday.

I created NeckUp because I spent too much time sitting and looking down at screens, often realizing only after a focus session had ended that my neck and shoulders were already tense. I wanted to build a focus app that not only tracks time, but also pays attention to how your body feels. NeckUp is a focus app that combines timer-based concentration, posture reminders, and gentle neck movement exercises to help you stay attentive during work or study while also taking better care of your body. [Key Features] • Focus Timer / Pomodoro Build a calmer and more sustainable rhythm for work and study with a clean, distraction-free focus timer. • Head-Down and Posture Reminders Detect prolonged head-down posture during focus sessions and remind you to lift your head and reduce neck strain. • Neck Movement Mini Game Use head movement to interact with a simple game that encourages gentle neck activity during breaks, helping relieve stiffness from long periods of sitting. • Focus History and Progress Insights View your daily focus heatmap, focus duration, and posture performance to better understand your work habits and physical state over time. [Requirements] Before using the posture reminder feature, please make sure you have one of the following headphones or a later compatible model: • AirPods Pro (1st generation) • AirPods Pro (2nd generation) • AirPods (3rd generation) • AirPods (4th generation, including both standard and ANC versions) • AirPods Max • Select Beats headphones with dynamic head tracking, such as Beats Fit Pro and Beats Studio Pro [Who It's For] • People who spend long hours studying or working at a desk • People who often look down at screens for extended periods and experience neck or shoulder discomfort • People who want to improve focus without ignoring physical well-being NeckUp is not just about getting more done. It is also about remembering to look up, relax, and take care of your body while you focus.
