Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus Y is a companion that helps you concentrate. Put a focus timer, light planning, and quick notes in your pocket โ a refined black-and-white design, native to iOS. Quiet the world and settle into the flow of this moment. โข Focus dial โ drag to set your duration, tap once to begin uninterrupted deep work. โข Landscape flip clock โ lay your phone on its side and it becomes a mechanical split-flap desk clock, with a soft breathing edge light to slow your breath. โข Lock Screen Live Activity โ your countdown shows on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can put the phone down and still see your progress. โข Leave Guard โ switch away to scroll something else mid-session and it logs a distraction automatically. The phone is the biggest distraction of all. โข Light planning โ switch between a list and the Eisenhower matrix; long-press to adjust priority and schedule. โข Notes & calendar โ jot ideas down; your focus records and planned tasks gather into one clear calendar. โข Sync with Mac โ paired with Focus Y for Mac, your records, plans, and notes sync automatically over iCloud, and a pixel companion keeps you company on the desktop. Quiet the world. Focus on the flow of this moment.
Daymark

Daymark asks one question at the end of the day: did you win it, or lose it? Tap Won or Lost, write down what made it either, and that's the whole ritual. A minute a day builds something you can't get from memory alone โ the shape of how you're actually living. And seeing that shape is what makes you change it. THREE WAYS TO SEE TIME Zoom with a pinch, or the D / M / Y letters. โข D โ one month, day by day. โข M โ a full year as twelve small months, so a bad stretch is impossible to miss. โข Y โ your whole life in weeks, one row per year of age. The weeks you've lived are behind you; the ones you haven't are still blank. A JOURNAL, NOT A CHORE Give a day a title and write as much or as little as you like. Add photos when words won't do, or record an audio memo. Everything you've ever written is one swipe away and searchable by word or by date. HABITS, IF YOU WANT THEM Add the habits that make a day good, then set the rule: complete this many and the day counts as won on its own. Every habit keeps its own statistics โ completion rate, current streak, the last thirty days. Prefer to judge for yourself? Add no habits and Daymark stays a plain journal. YOUR ENTRIES ARE YOURS No account. No analytics. Nothing sent anywhere. When you first open Daymark you choose whether entries stay on your iPhone or sync through your own iCloud, and you can export everything to a file โ or import it back โ whenever you like.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Focus Y at 3 against Daymark's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
