FocusMono is an all-in-one focus app that combines focus timers, mindfulness meditation, ambient soundscapes, and task management — helping you achieve deep focus, boost productivity, and drift into restful sleep. Three Focus Modes Pomodoro Timer — The classic technique with customizable focus and break durations. Loop through cycles to stay in rhythm. Mindfulness Meditation — Guided breathing exercises with 4 breathing patterns (Equal, Resonance, Relaxing, Energizing), paired with ambient sounds for deep immersion. Free Stopwatch — No preset duration. Focus for as long as you want, stop when you're done. One-Tap Quick Scenes Deep Work, Study, Nap, Meditate, Read, Sleep — 6 high-frequency scenarios that launch both a timer and an ambient mix simultaneously. Zero configuration needed. Scenes are also intelligently sorted by time of day, so the most relevant one is always front and center. 80+ Curated Ambient Sounds Rain (thunderstorm, drizzle, night rain, window rain, tent rain…), Ocean (calm, crashing, nighttime, underwater…), Wind (breeze, howling, mountain, blizzard…), Fire (campfire, fireplace, candle…), Nature (forest, birdsong, frogs, cicadas, whale song…), City (café, library, restaurant, marketplace…), Transit (train, subway, airplane…), Home (fan, clock, kettle…) — over 80 high-quality ambient sounds. There's always one that puts you at ease. Multi-Track Ambient Mixing Layer up to 3 sound tracks with independent per-track volume and master volume control. 5 handcrafted scene presets (Forest Night Rain, Seaside Fire, Valley Morning Mist, Late-Night Study, Summer Courtyard) work right out of the box, or mix your own. Sleep Module A dedicated sleep timer that gently fades out after 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes. It doesn't interfere with Pomodoro stats or trigger break cycles — just pure help falling asleep. Tasks & Goals Set goals, break them into tasks, and track progress on a calendar. Switch freely between week and month views, with a timeline that visualizes your daily focus distribution at a glance. Focus Statistics Review your Pomodoro, mindfulness, and stopwatch durations and trends by day / week / month / year. Let the data witness your growth. Home Screen Widgets & Dynamic Island Home screen widgets display real-time timer status and stats. Live Activity supports Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — your focus progress is always visible at a glance. iCloud Sync Focus data and settings sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud. Switch devices seamlessly without missing a beat. Multi-Language Support Supports 9 languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German — plus automatic system language detection. FocusMono — Make every focused moment vivid and alive.

タイマーとプリセット機能のみ。シンプルなポモドーロタイマーで、作業に没入しましょう。 【アプリについて】 タイマー、プリセット、通知。Aideの機能はこれだけです。 記録、実績、グラフ、ランキング、BGM、育成要素等は一切ありません。 目指したのは「集中するための時間を測る」という、ただそれだけの役割に徹することです。 道具は、使う人の目的を遂行するための手段であって、使い続けること自体が目的になってしまっては本末転倒だと考えています。 「今日も継続した」という満足感より先に、目の前の作業に集中できること。 Aideはその一点だけを大切にしています。 【主な機能】 ・タイマー シンプルなポモドーロタイマー機能です。 ・プリセット 集中時間・休憩時間・サイクルを細かく設定できます。 「25分」にこだわらず、自分に合ったリズムを見つけてください。 ・プリセットの切り替え プリセット選択ボタンから、適用したいプリセットを選ぶだけ。 ホーム画面を離れることなく、すぐに切り替えられます。 【こんな方におすすめです】 ・タイマーアプリに、余計な機能を求めていない方 ・記録や実績よりも、今この瞬間の集中を大切にしたい方 ・自分だけの集中/休憩サイクルを見つけたい方 【価格について】 無料でご利用いただけます(広告表示あり)。 広告を非表示にしたい場合は、アプリ内課金にてご購入いただけます。

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FocusMono at none against Aide's shown. Aide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
