FocusGuard helps you take back control of your time. Set a goal, block your distracting apps, and start a focused work session — FocusGuard monitors your focus and holds you accountable in real time. STAY ON TASK Define what you want to accomplish before each session. Whether it's studying, writing, coding, or deep work, FocusGuard gives your time a purpose. Choose how long you want to focus — from a quick 25-minute sprint to a full 2-hour block. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS AUTOMATICALLY Select the apps you want to block during your session. When you slip and open a distracting app, FocusGuard catches it, logs it, and brings you back to what matters. BUILD A CONSISTENCY SCORE Every session contributes to your personal Consistency Score — a 0–100 rating that reflects how focused and disciplined you've been over time. Complete sessions without distractions to raise your score. Lose focus too often and it drops. Your score is always honest.

Watch your consistency improve week over week. EARN ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock achievements as you build better focus habits. Hit milestones like completing your first session, maintaining a 7-day streak, reaching a score of 80+, or becoming an Elite performer. Every badge is earned, not given.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DeepFocus at none against Deeply's shown. DeepFocus also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
