About

Deep

Read full description

Train your focus in 25 minute sessions. Deep scores each day out of 100 based on your sessions, interruptions and breaks, so you can see your focus improve over time. DAILY FOCUS SCORE Each day starts at zero. Completing sessions, limiting interruptions and taking regular breaks builds your score. Three sub scores show where your day was strong and where it slipped. FOCUS SESSIONS Start a session and put your phone down. The timer keeps running in the background and notifies you the moment it ends, so you never need to check the screen. INTERRUPTION AND BREAK TRACKING Record interruptions as they happen and see their effect on your score. Deep also reminds you to take breaks, because sustained focus needs recovery. GUIDED PROGRESSION Set a daily session target during onboarding. As you hit your target consistently, Deep offers to raise it. APPLE WATCH, WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITIES Start and follow sessions from your wrist, glance at today's score from a widget, and track the running timer from the lock screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No network connections. Everything stays on your device.

About

Bloom Focus Timer

Features
Read full description

A focus timer should be simple. Bloom is a timer for work and study, and not much else. Pick a tree, choose how long you want to focus, and start. The tree grows while you work, and joins your forest when the session ends. Longer sessions grow bigger trees. New species unlock as your hours add up. Give up early and your tree dies. Over time you end up with a forest you built yourself as a quiet record of the work you've done.
