Time tracking shouldnβt become another task. Little Beaver Timer is a minimal time tracker inspired by the chess clock. Track just two things: how long you focus and how long you rest. One tap switches states; pause anytime for meals, sleep, or time away. See where your time goes and regain your rhythm. SIMPLE TRACKING β’ Tap the upper half to rest and the lower half to focus β’ Just three states: focus, rest, and pause β’ See todayβs focus and rest totals at a glance UNDERSTAND YOUR TIME β’ Review the last 7 days, last 30 days, or this month β’ Explore daily timelines, sessions, and focus-to-rest balance β’ Each tracking day starts at 5:00 a.m. to better match real-life routines TRACK FROM ANYWHERE β’ Interactive iPhone Home Screen widget β’ Apple Watch app and watch-face complications β’ Keep your current state in sync between iPhone and Apple Watch GENTLE REMINDERS β’ Get a nudge after focusing for too long β’ Get a nudge when a break runs long β’ Choose separate reminder intervals or turn them off anytime LIGHTWEIGHT BY DESIGN β’ No account required β’ Data stays on your device β’ Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish β’ Free for life Time tracking isnβt about filling every minute. Itβs about seeing where your time actually goes. Focus when itβs time to focus. Rest when itβs time to rest. Little Beaver will help you rebuild your rhythm, one twig at a time.

FocusFlow isn't here to push you harder. It's here to make starting easier. Built for ADHD brains β and anyone who finds "just focus" easier said than done β FocusFlow lowers the barrier at the hardest moment: getting started. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT β’ Start the smallest step. Stuck? FocusFlow hands you a 2-minute first move, not a lecture. β’ Work with your energy, not against it. Pick tasks by how you feel right now β high, steady, or low. Every state has its place. β’ Rewards for showing up, not output. Every focus session grows your Focus Garden. Miss a day? No penalty, no shame β your garden remembers every minute you came back. β’ See time pass. A calm countdown, plus a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so time stops quietly slipping away. β’ Catch every thought. Zero-friction Quick Capture β type it or just say it out loud β so ideas don't disappear before you use them. GENTLE BY DESIGN No streak guilt. No monitoring. No "you're behind." FocusFlow is a warm coach, never a taskmaster β because shame is the number-one reason focus apps get deleted. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tasks, energy, and garden stay on your device, optionally synced through your own private iCloud. No accounts. No tracking. No third-party analytics. BRING YOUR OWN AI (OPTIONAL) Want a hand breaking a big task into tiny steps? Add your own API key (works with major AI models). Your key lives in your device's Keychain β never on our servers. FocusFlow is free. Open it, and start with one small thing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Little Beaver at none against FocusFlow's 1. FocusFlow's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
