Focustown vs Focus

Can't stop reaching for your phone? Turn your focus into something you can watch grow. FocusTown is a gamified deep-work timer: every focus session you finish earns coins that build a cozy pixel town, block by block. Stay off your phone, and a tiny hamlet slowly becomes a thriving city. Pay once and it's yours forever — no subscription, no ads, and nothing about you is ever collected. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a focus session — Pomodoro-style or a custom length. 2. Put your phone down and do the work. 3. Earn coins for every session you complete. 4. Spend them to build and upgrade houses, libraries, parks and more. WHY YOU'LL STICK WITH IT — See your progress: abstract "focus time" becomes a town you can actually look at and feel proud of. — Build real habits: streaks and gentle momentum keep you coming back, day after day. — Calm by design: no social feeds, no attention-grabbing notifications, no endless scroll. — Your data stays yours: the app collects nothing. Nothing to leak, nothing to sell. — Pay once: unlock everything with a single one-time purchase — never a subscription. FEATURES — Flexible focus timer for work, study, reading, writing or mindfulness. — A cozy town builder with unique, beautifully styled buildings to collect and arrange. — Clear statistics: track daily, weekly and monthly focus trends. — Ambient sounds to help you settle in and block out distractions. WHO IT'S FOR Students revising for exams, remote workers fighting distraction, writers chasing flow, and anyone who wants to reclaim their attention — without renting their tools by the month. Plant your first building today and watch FocusTown grow. Questions or ideas? Reach us through the support link on our App Store page.

Focus is a simple Deep Focus blocker that leaves only what you need during a session. Choose the apps and websites you want to allow, optionally set a duration, and start. No account is required. BLOCK EVERYTHING EXCEPT WHAT YOU ALLOW Use Apple's private Screen Time picker to choose the apps, categories, and web domains you need during focus. Focus shields everything you do not select. Leave the allow list empty to block all supported apps and websites. Categories are saved as the individual items they contain when selected. OPTIONAL PRECISE TIMER Set hours, minutes, and seconds. Leave the timer at 00:00:00 for an unlimited session, or choose 15 minutes or longer for automatic ending. Timed shields are removed after the interval when the device is next used. PROTECTED CHANGES Ending early or changing what is allowed during a session requires Face ID or Touch ID, with the device passcode as the system fallback. Cancelling or failing authentication keeps the session and shields unchanged. BUILT FOR RECOVERY Focus saves the active session and checks authorization, expiration, monitoring, and shields whenever the app becomes active. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No Focus account, ads, or analytics SDK • No developer-operated backend • Screen Time selections are opaque system tokens stored on your device • Biometric data stays with Apple's authentication system • No Calendar, Reminders, or browser access
