FocusArt
Read full descriptionHide full description
FocusArt is a focus timer for people who need real concentration: knowledge workers, developers, designers, students, anyone at a desk who wants fewer distractions and more finished work. Pick a mode, start a session, and focus. When you stop, FocusArt turns your actual time into rest, and into art: a real painting from art history, added to a collection that's yours to keep. HOW IT WORKS โข Five focus modes (Quick, Routine, and Deep are free to start; Intense and open-ended Zen come with FocusArt Pro), so a short task and a 90-minute deep work session both get a timer that fits. โข Rest is earned, not guessed. Your break timer scales with how long you actually focused, not a fixed countdown. โข Live Activity and widgets show your current session and today's progress from the Lock Screen or desktop, without opening the app. โข Streaks track consistent days of hitting your focus goal, quietly, with no guilt if a day slips. โข A leaderboard with weekly and monthly views lets you compare your focus hours with others, if you want to. YOUR GALLERY Every completed session earns a painting (real museum works, from Monet to Hokusai to Van Gogh), building a personal collection of twelve you can revisit anytime. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL PRO PLAN The free plan includes three focus modes, the full painting gallery, all your data for as long as you use FocusArt, and Sanctuary, a distraction blocker that keeps one app of your choice out of reach during a session. FocusArt Pro adds the Intense and Zen modes, unlimited apps, categories, and websites in Sanctuary plus always-on blocking, and calendar sync for completed sessions. Choose Weekly, Yearly, or Lifetime. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC FocusArt runs natively on iPhone and Mac. Your settings sync between them over iCloud, so your focus goal and preferences follow you. A calm, distraction-free way to focus. No streaks to protect, no guilt for a day off, just a timer, a break you earned, and real art along the way. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS FocusArt Pro is available as an auto-renewable subscription, billed weekly or yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial.

Zeddy is a notes app for people who work away from a desk. Talk, and it writes the note for you โ not a raw transcript, but a tidied note with a title, sorted into whatever fields you use. Ramble, backtrack, read a model number off a nameplate. It sorts it out. Photograph a handwritten page and Zeddy reads it into a note. Photograph a sketch and it redraws it cleanly. Any note can be reshaped afterwards. A quick note becomes a meeting note, a field call, or a shopping list without retyping anything โ it re-reads what you actually said, so nothing degrades along the way. WHAT'S FREE Unlimited text notes. Tags, search, reminders, pinning, trash, export, and sync across your phone and the web. No ads. WHAT'S IN ZEDDY PRO Voice dictation, note reshaping, reading handwriting, and sketch digitizing. Free for 14 days. ALSO IN ZEDDY โข Works offline โ notes sync when you're back in range โข Place reminders: get a note when you arrive somewhere โข Attach photos to any note โข Use it in a browser at zeddynotes.com โข Export everything, any time, in a format you can read Zeddy is not funded by advertising. Your notes are not sold, rented, or used to train anyone's models. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
