Close your phone. Build a city. Fold Focus turns every focus session into a building. Pick how long you want to work, close your iPhone Duo or place your iPhone face down, and a building starts going up. Keep the phone closed until the timer ends and it stands in your city for good. Open it early and it falls. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a length from 10 to 120 minutes. Longer sessions raise bigger buildings: houses, shops, apartments, towers and landmarks. - Close your iPhone Duo to start. On any other iPhone, place it face down. Using a stand? Start with one tap instead. - Opened it by accident? You get 10 seconds to close it again before the building falls. - Finish and the building is yours. Your city grows session by session, and every one looks a little different. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Fold Focus is built for both displays and every pose. Close the phone and the session carries on on the outer display with a big countdown. Open it and the city fills the inner display, with the city on one side and your controls on the other. STAY ON TRACK - A daily goal of 30, 60 or 120 minutes, and a streak for every day you hit it - A weekly chart and the history of every building you raised, or lost - A reminder when a session ends, and a nudge if you leave mid-session PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your sessions and your city stay on your iPhone. You can delete all your data in Settings at any time. Good for studying, revision and exams, deep work, reading, writing, or simply spending less time on your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Focus Fold at none against Fold Focus's 2. Fold Focus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
