Grotto vs Focus Hotel

Grotto turns intentional phone use into a place you can enter. Create up to nine local Spaces and choose apps through Apple's private Screen Time picker. Several Spaces can be active together. Each hides its own selected apps; leaving one keeps apps hidden if another active Space still includes them. Choose how each Space works: - PIN: enter with a tap and leave with your six-digit PIN. - Countdown: start a one-time session from 30 minutes to 12 hours, in 30-minute steps. Use your PIN to leave early. - Location: automatically enter and leave this Space around its own 500-metre area. Choose its place on a map or use your current location. Different Spaces can use the same place or different places. Location automation requires Always and Precise Location access. Map selection itself does not request your current location. iOS may delay automatic arrival, departure, or countdown completion; these are not exact-time alarms. After a restart, unlock your device before automation can resume. Each Space has a handcrafted 2D environment. Moss Haven is included. Optional one-time purchases unlock additional illustrated environments, interactions, ambience, and visual progression. All nine Space configurations, all three modes, and recovery controls remain available without payment. Privacy by design: - App choices use opaque Apple system tokens. - Grotto stores Space settings locally and does not upload your places or record a movement history. - Apple Maps loads map data online and may send map-display requests to Apple. - No Grotto account, analytics, advertising, or tracking. - Sensitive management screens are covered in the app switcher. Grotto is for adults managing their own device. Your Space PIN protects manual exit, editing, and deletion. You can revoke Screen Time authorization in iOS Settings. Grotto cannot prevent the device owner from changing system settings or uninstalling the app.

Focus Hotel gives your focus somewhere to go. Start a focus session and distracting apps are locked away until it ends. Complete it to earn Focusines, the currency you can spend on furniture, new outfits and, eventually, entirely new rooms. Most productivity apps ask you to be disciplined. This one gives you something to show for it. HOW IT WORKS • Choose how long you want to focus, then start. • Distracting apps stay blocked for the entire session. • Finish and earn the full reward. Cancel and earn nothing. No lecture, no broken streak, no guilt. • Spend what you earned in the store, then place every piece yourself, tile by tile. • Keep focusing and the hotel opens up: a living room, a kitchen and a bedroom of your own. YOU'RE NOT FOCUSING ALONE Other people's rooms are real places you can visit. See who is focusing right now, what they're working on and how far into their session they are. Say hello. Start your own session from their room and sit together while you both work. It's the quiet company of a library, on your phone. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • No sign-up. No account, email or password. Open the app and you're in. • Works offline. Focusing, earning and decorating never require a connection. • Nothing is rented. Every piece you buy stays yours. • A world, not a dashboard. Cozy pixel art you actually want to look at. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Track minutes focused, sessions completed and your completion rate: the number that shows whether you're getting better at staying focused. ABOUT APP BLOCKING Deep Focus uses Apple's Screen Time controls to keep selected apps blocked while a session is running. You grant permission once, you can say no, and focus sessions still work without blocking. Focus Hotel is free. Focusines are earned by focusing. You can also buy them if you'd rather furnish your hotel faster. Build a room worth coming back to.
