FocusVille vs TidyNotes

FocusVille is a Pomodoro timer that turns your focus time into a cozy pixel-art village. Start a focus session, put your phone down, and your villager gets to work chopping wood, mining stone and digging clay. Finish the session and the resources are yours. Leave early and the day's work is lost. A study timer, work timer, app blocker and village-building game in one, made for students, remote workers, people with ADHD and anyone who wants to stop procrastination and cut screen time. No ads. No account. No pop-ups. Just a timer, a village and your concentration.
