Last Focus vs TODO.md

Last Focus is a focused timer for people who want one clear block of work at a time. Start a simple focus block, build a stack of focus and break phases, or use widgets and Live Activities to stay with the session from your Lock Screen. Last Focus is built to feel calm, minimal, and serious: no streak pressure, no social layer, no account, no feed. What you can do: - Start quick focus blocks - Run focus stacks with short and long breaks - Pause, resume, and start the next block from the Lock Screen - Use Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - See today’s focused time and recent sessions - Get Time Sensitive reminders when a block or break ends - Use system alarm alerts on supported iOS versions Last Focus keeps the timer simple but makes the surrounding system strong: widgets for quick starts, Live Activities for active sessions, and alarm-style alerts when supported. Privacy is simple too. Last Focus does not require an account. Your focus history and settings stay on your device. Support emails are used only to respond to your request.

TODO.md is a dopamine to-do list for ADHD brains - a wrapper for Markdown files to keep all task with notes you already have. Choose a folder of markdown files. An Obsidian vault works; so does any other notes folder. Each file with checkbox tasks becomes a list. Folder structure stays as it is on disk. Checking a task, dragging to reorder, and adding a line write back to that file. The files remain the source of truth. - Clickable home-screen widget that pages through your task list - A calendar mirror for tasks with a due date - Capture from Siri and get Reminders into the note you choose - Optional dictation when adding a task There is no account, no cloud of ours, and no import step. Files stay where you put them, including iCloud Drive. By default, a file lists when its frontmatter includes the tag `todo`. You can change or turn off that filter in Settings.
