Memobun is a study timer dressed up as a cozy little bakery. You pick how long you want to focus and start the timer. While you study, the screen shows a treat slowly baking, and a companion sits with you to keep you company. Finish the session and you earn coins for the time you put in. Show up day after day and your streak keeps growing. You spend those coins in the shop — outfits for your companion, new companions to collect, desks, and backgrounds to decorate your study room however you like. Need a break? There's a Cake Kitchen where you bake recipes, plus quick games like 2048 and Connect Four to reset before your next session. And if you focus better with people, you can start a study room and work alongside friends in real time. What's inside: - A focus timer — pick your minutes and start - Coins for finishing sessions, plus daily streaks - A companion who studies with you (more to collect and dress up) - A study room you decorate with desks, backgrounds, and outfits - The Cake Kitchen and quick break games - Study rooms to focus with friends - Stats and weekly recaps to track your progress Memobun Plus is an optional subscription that unlocks a custom timer length and a few extra perks. It's monthly or yearly, and the timer works fine without it. Subscription details: Memobun Plus renews automatically. Your Apple ID is charged when you subscribe, and it renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Memobun Plus pricing: $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year (U.S. prices; may vary by region).

FocusVille

FocusVille turns your focus time into a little life you grow, and now your friends can sit at the same table. Start a focus session and a tiny friend grows with you: baby, child, teen, adult. Every focused minute turns into coins, a cozier room and a life that slowly takes shape: a job, a salary, a bike, a house with a garden, and one day a seaside villa or an island of your own. Made calm on purpose. No noise, no pressure, no punishment for stopping early, and nothing you have earned is ever taken away. Just a soft, rewarding loop that makes it easier to start, especially if starting is the hard part for you. • Shared Table: study at the same table as your friends. The table has one fire that lights when everyone does a session that day. If someone gets up, their chair stays empty; if a friend isn't there, their session from yesterday sits beside you; ring the bell to call someone who hasn't come. No chat. • Focus coach: a weekly target built from your own sessions, your best hour and day, and one tactic each week. With FocusVille+, daily pace and your road to exam day. • Places: café, library, fireside, forest, night, garden and snow. Each place comes with its own scene and sound, and your friend studies there with you. The rainy window is now free for everyone. Try every Plus place free for one session. • Promise: promise yourself 1, 2 or 3 sessions (Easy, Medium or Hard) for today or tomorrow, and earn coins when you keep it. Add some of your coins if you like and they come back multiplied. Pick an hour and get a reminder. Keep 7 in a row for a bonus and a Promise cup for your room. • Your friend's form: your last 7 days of focus show on your character. When Fresh, sessions earn 10% more coins. Need time off? Take a break for 3, 7 or 14 days. Want more challenge? Optional Hard mode: a neglected friend gets sick and their salary is halved, until a few good days bring them back. • Your scene while you focus: during a session, your lock screen and home screen widget show the scene you picked and your friend with a live countdown (iOS 17 and later). Dim the screen and the scene stays softly visible. • Focus Journey: a one-time ticket for a 30-stop path. Every day you reach your minutes you move one stop, collecting room items you can't buy in the shop. • Big goals: a bike, a house with a garden, a sports car, a seaside villa and a private island, each with a new window view. The villa and the island open rooms of their own. • Wealth ladder: 12 titles from Apprentice to Legend, and every new title gives you a raise. • Seasonal trips with postcards, 15 new room items and a quote of the day. • Strict Mode (iOS 18 and later): lock the apps that distract you while your session runs. Free, with no daily limit • Exam and deadline countdown with your weekly focus time • Look after your friend: water, meals, a kitchen to fill and pets you name yourself • Jobs, salary, achievements and a story to unlock • Daily reminders and gentle streak protection • 12 languages, now including Vietnamese • Works offline. Signing in is optional, and your progress is yours FocusVille+ (optional: a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, a one-time Lifetime purchase, or Exam Season: 90 days, paid once, never renews) adds a 4-person Shared Table whose place opens for everyone at it, the focus coach's daily pace and exam road, every place with its scene and sound, Hard lock and Scheduled lock (iOS 18 and later), the weekly report (your first one is free), free streak repair, unlimited breaks for your friend and 20% more coins in coin packs. Coins are earned by focusing; optional coin packs are just a shortcut. Coins have no cash value.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FocusVille at none against Memobun's shown. Memobun's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
