Planeta
Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus, and a planet forms. Stay until the timer ends and it joins your galaxy. Quit early and it scatters. A pomodoro focus timer that turns your time into worlds. Made with ADHD and restless focus in mind, Planeta gives every study block, homework hour or deep work sprint a reward you can actually see. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a session length from 5 to 120 minutes and start the timer. 2. While the clock counts down, your planet's terrain and colors take shape. 3. When time is up, the planet is yours and joins your galaxy. The rule is simple: stay to the end and you keep what you built. Leave early and nothing is left behind. It's an easy way to stick with the pomodoro technique, one session at a time. NO TWO ARE EVER ALIKE Every session generates a new terrain, color palette and set of rings. There are 20 planet types to discover, and no two planets ever come out the same. LONGER FOCUS, RICHER PLANETS Focus for more than 30 minutes and your planet gains an atmosphere. Go past 60 minutes and it gains a ring. Shorter sessions still leave a planet, just without the extra layers. That's a small reason to stay in flow a little longer. YOUR GALAXY The planets you earn settle into star systems. Pan across the map and see which session each planet came from. Your focus history becomes a place you can explore. THE CODEX A record of all 20 planet types that fills in as you discover each one. JOURNAL Every voyage is logged with its length, its tag and its planet. Add a note to any session so you remember what you worked on. It doubles as a simple study tracker for ADHD study habits, exam prep or long work days.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planeta at none against Pochi's 3. Planeta also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Pochi's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs weekly). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
