Kizami
Read full descriptionHide full description
Work. Chores. Sleep. Then the same day begins again. There was a time when I thought this might continue forever. One night, I stayed up late throwing darts by myself. It was not productive. It did not immediately change my future. But that time had not been assigned to me by anyone else. It was time I had chosen for myself. Kizami is an app for digging out and keeping the time you chose from within everyday life. The time you spent reading. The time you walked a little farther. The time you ate something you loved. The time you did nothing and rested. The time you became absorbed in something on your own. It does not have to be impressive. It does not have to be useful for your future. If you chose it, it was your time. The time you record accumulates as a single mine shaft extending underground. As you dig deeper, your depth is compared with buildings, mountains, ocean depths, the Earth, and distances through space. Kizami has no streaks to maintain and no system that judges whether you achieved a goal. It is okay to miss a day. It is okay if the time was short. There was a moment in your day that you chose for yourself. Kizami is a place to keep those moments, one by one. Kizami is a small app created and maintained by one independent developer. If it becomes meaningful to you, I would be grateful if you supported it with a review. Your words give me the strength to keep building it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Focus at Free against Kizami's $1.29. Kizami's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
