El Manual de los 20s vs FocusPocus

University matters, but it shouldn’t take over your whole life. El Manual de los 20s is a study system designed to help you make consistent progress, better understand your effort, and stay organized without giving up rest, relationships, work, or the other things that are part of your life. Create personalized plans for courses, exams, projects, and tasks. The app turns your goals into clear steps, helping you see what needs attention and spread the work over time instead of trying to solve everything when it is already too late. Use the Pomodoro timer to track your actual focused study time. Every session is connected to what you are preparing for, so you can see how much time you dedicated to a particular exam, course, or project. It is not only about counting hours, but about making the time you spend studying intentional and effective. The plant is not just decoration: its condition reflects your consistency. Following through on what you planned helps it stay healthy or recover, while accumulating days without progress causes its condition to decline. At a glance, it shows whether you have been maintaining your rhythm or need to get back on track. Statistics help you understand how you study. See how many hours you have dedicated to a goal, how your progress changes, and how much effort it took to achieve a particular result. Over time, this helps you understand yourself better: when you need to accelerate, when to adjust your plan, and when you can rest without feeling that you should be doing more. You can also create habits, organize them into areas, and choose the days when you want to complete them. Your daily agenda shows what is scheduled for today and records your completion, helping you understand which routines you can sustain alongside your studies. The goal of El Manual de los 20s is not to make you study more and more. It is to help you study better, arrive prepared, and build a way of making progress that you can sustain without putting the rest of your life aside. El Manual de los 20s requires an active subscription. You can choose a monthly or annual plan. The annual plan offers a 7-day free trial to eligible users. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel it from your Apple Account settings.

A quiet pomodoro timer. Focus for 25 minutes, then take a real break. FocusPocus runs on your iPhone with no account, no tracking, your tasks stay on your device. The technique is older than you think. Francesco Cirillo wrote it down in the late '80s using a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. The math hasn't changed: focus for 25, break for 5, repeat four times, take a longer break. FocusPocus handles the timing so you can do the focusing. What's inside: — Three modes (pomodoro, short break, long break) with sounds you can mute — A tappable task list. Add what you're working on, mark them done as you go. — Pomodoro count per task — estimate how many sessions you'll need and watch the count — Notes per task with checkable sub-items — Eight color palettes plus a custom picker — pick a mood for your focus — Native iOS Live Activity. Your timer lives on the Dynamic Island and lock screen so you never lose track. Pause and skip from the Dynamic Island without unlocking. — "Yesterday" page-flip: tap the date to start a new day. Unfinished tasks carry forward, completed ones drop. — Session history with stats — focused minutes per day, weekly trends, top tasks. What's not inside: — No account — No tracking — No ads — No upsells Made by one person who needed it. If it helps you focus, you've already gotten what it was made for.
