Focus D
Read full descriptionHide full description
A Pomodoro timer that rewards you for building focus. You know the feeling. You picked up your phone to do one thing, and 20 minutes vanished. Focus isn't a personality trait — it's a skill. Skills are trainable. Focus D combines three things into one loop: • Timer — Time-box your work. Start small, build momentum. • Tasks — Break it down. One thing at a time. No cognitive overload. • Rewards — Satisfy yourself. Earn tomatoes, redeem them for wishlist items you set yourself. This isn't just another timer. It's built on BJ Fogg's Behavior Model: Motivation + Ability + Prompt. Most Pomodoro apps give you a timer and a notification — that covers Ability and Prompt, but they leave Motivation entirely to you. Now, Focus D closes the loop. What makes Focus D different: • A complete focus training system, not just a countdown • Wishlist rewards create incentive — earn what you care about • Task management built in — no app switching • Deep analytics in three sections — Daily snapshot, Trends over time, Insights that discover your patterns • Clean, native design. No account required. Your data stays on your device. • Live Activity & Dynamic Island support From the developer: I led an employee incentive management project before building Focus D. I saw firsthand how motivation systems change behavior — when you align ability, motivation, and the right nudge, people transform. I applied that same thinking here. This is the app I needed when I was the one scrolling. Focus D is the first app from DA3H. More tools are coming. Built for people who want to spend their time better.

Calm Commit

Are you tired of endless to-do lists? Calm Commit is a gentle task management app that helps you choose the one thing that matters most today and keep it visible on your Home Screen. Instead of trying to manage every task perfectly, focus on the one thing that would make today feel worthwhile. If you can finish it, today is a good day. Your Daily Commitment Each morning, choose one thing you want to focus on most. For example: - Finish the first draft of a proposal - Submit presentation materials - Clean your room - Make plans with your family - Study for just 30 minutes Write down the one thing that would make you think, “If I finish this, today will be great.” When it is done, simply tap the completion button. Calm Commit gives your day a clear focus and makes it easier to feel a small, satisfying sense of progress. Home Screen Widgets Your daily commitment can be displayed as a Home Screen widget. Even without opening the app, you can see what matters most today every time you look at your phone. On busy days, it helps you avoid getting swept away by notifications and distractions, and gently reminds you what you decided to care about today. Widget Memo Separate from your daily commitment, you can also place a free memo on your Home Screen. Use it for shopping lists, things to bring, appointments, quick notes, or anything you do not want to forget. For example: - Buy eggs - Bring an umbrella - Call at 10:00 - Take out the trash tomorrow It works like a quiet sticky note for your phone’s Home Screen. If-Then Habits Habits are hard to build with willpower alone. With Calm Commit, you can create habits in an If-Then format: “If this happens, then I will do that.” For example: - After brushing my teeth in the morning, drink a glass of water - Before starting work, check today’s commitment - After lunch, walk for five minutes - Before going to bed, prepare for tomorrow By deciding when and what to do in advance, it becomes easier to take action naturally. Streaks When you check off a habit, your streak grows. Not like a flame burning intensely, but like a quiet wave that keeps moving forward. Calm Commit helps you record small daily wins with a calm, gentle feeling. Notes Calm Commit also includes a simple notes feature. Write down thoughts, shopping lists, work notes, ideas, or anything else you want to keep. You can use it as a simple notebook, or as a supporting space for your daily commitment. Why This App Was Created Calm Commit was inspired by the book Task Management for People Who Never Have Enough Time. The app focuses on the most practical parts of the book’s approach: choosing one daily commitment and building habits with If-Then planning. It is not meant to help you do more and more forever. It is designed to help you decide what really matters today, complete it, and end the day feeling good. Recommended For People Who - Feel tired of ever-growing to-do lists - Could not stick with other task management apps - Want to decide the most important thing each morning - Want to remember important tasks from the Home Screen - Want to place simple memo widgets like sticky notes - Want a habit tracker that does not feel too strict - Care about work, but also want to value time with themselves and their family Premium Premium makes Calm Commit more comfortable to use. Premium includes: - Ad removal - Unlimited notes - Unlimited habits - Photo backgrounds - Customization features such as water surface themes Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are available. Choose the one thing that matters most today. Keep it in sight. Finish it, and end the day feeling good. “If I finish this today, today will be great.” Make that one thing your commitment for today.
