Most focus apps are easy to ignore. Commit isn't. Before every session, you write the reason you're committing. That reason stays on screen the entire time — alongside a photo of someone or something that matters to you. A reminder of what you're protecting. Want to quit early? Commit asks you to write why. No one-tap escapes. Every completed session is logged so you can see how many hours you focused this week, which routines you keep, and where you tend to fall off. Commit never reads your app usage data. It only enforces what you choose to block. Commit Premium · Block the apps you choose during a session · Unlimited custom routines · Full session history beyond the current week · Focus photo during session Commit Premium is a one-time purchase. Pay once, own it forever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZenLock at none against Commit's 1. ZenLock also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
