Privy vs FocusPiece

Privy is a private place for everything you write. Notes, journals, lists, ideas, the things you'd never put in a regular notes app. Write it all in one calm, beautiful space, then lock what matters behind your own key. Privacy isn't a setting you switch on. It's the default. No account, no login, no cloud you don't control. Your words live on your device, and the developer has zero access to them. WRITE ANYTHING Quick notes, long entries, daily journals, checklists, plans. Add photos, record a voice memo, or scan a document straight into a note. Rich text and reminders are built in. LOCK IT DOWN Protect the whole app with a passcode or Face ID, and seal individual notes behind their own password. Locked notes reveal nothing. Not a preview, not a title, not a word. A SPACE FOR EVERY PART OF LIFE Keep things in separate Vaults. Work, personal, health, travel, the private stuff. Each one is its own walled-off space, and you can give the sensitive ones their own password. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. Open the app and start writing. Your notes never leave your phone unless you choose to sync them through your own iCloud. MAKE IT YOURS Light, Dark, and a soft Pink theme. Choose your font and text size. Pin the notes you reach for most. CALM BY DESIGN No streaks, no badges, no pressure. Just a quiet place to think and keep what's yours. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Write notes, journals, and lists with rich text, photos, voice notes, and scans - Lock the app with a passcode or Face ID - Password-protect individual notes and entire vaults - Organize everything into separate, private vaults - Pin important notes to the top - Search everything in seconds - Export any note as text or PDF - Set gentle reminders - Three themes, multiple fonts and sizes YOUR DATA IS YOURS Privy is local-first. No accounts, no servers collecting your notes, no tracking. Optional sync uses your own private iCloud, so your notes move between your devices without ever passing through us. Write it down. Lock it up. Keep it private. PRIVY PRO A one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks: unlimited vaults, a separate password for each vault, document scanning, PDF export, and the Light and Pink themes with accent colors. Everything else — writing, photos, voice notes, app lock, locking individual notes, and your first vault — is free.

FocusPiece – Where Focus Becomes Art Concentration has become rare. FocusPiece makes it visible. Set the timer, put your phone down and sink into your work. While you stay focused, a hidden masterpiece emerges from the mist, piece by piece. At the end of every session you hold a fully revealed work of art that you have earned. No points. No aggressive streaks. No guilt. Just a calm, beautiful space for deep concentration. HOW IT WORKS • Choose your time: 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes of undisturbed focus. • Stay in the picture: as long as you remain in the app, the hidden painting sharpens with every minute. Leave, and the reveal gently pauses. • Collect masterpieces: every completed session unlocks a work and places it in your personal gallery. A GALLERY YOU EARN Your collection does not fill up by chance, but through real concentration. Every unlocked work carries the date, the length of your session and the story behind the original. Browse van Gogh's "Almond Blossom", Hokusai's "Great Wave", Monet's "Sunrise", Friedrich's "Wanderer" and many more classics of art history: public-domain masterpieces, curated for quiet moments. ON YOUR WRIST AS WELL With Apple Watch you start, pause and follow a session without reaching for your iPhone. On the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island your progress stays in view. DELIBERATELY MINIMAL FocusPiece was designed around a single principle: nothing that distracts. Warm paper white, a calm terracotta accent, clear typography. No loud notifications, no endless statistics, no mechanics designed to hook you. The app steps back so your focus and the art can step forward.
