Bloom Focus Timer vs Levely

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.

You know the feeling of starting a new character in your favorite RPG. You're weak. You have no idea what you're doing. Every skill is at level 1. Then you start playing. Levely brings that feeling to real life. It's a focus timer that turns the time you spend practicing real skills into RPG-style progression. Pick a skill, set a timer, and focus. When the session ends, you earn XP and your skill gets closer to the next level. Levely can't tell whether you practiced well, or hard, or at the right difficulty. No app can, not without watching you far more closely than you'd like. So XP doesn't measure how good you are. It measures that you sat down and gave something your full attention, and for how long. A CHARACTER SHEET FOR REAL SKILLS Every skill has a level, an XP bar and a history. Watch them climb slowly, unevenly, the way real progress actually goes. EARN YOUR TITLE Earned through hours of focus. Nothing is handed out. NO STREAKS No chains to break, no guilt, nothing to protect. Miss a week and your levels are exactly where you left them. Progress isn't linear, and an app that punishes you for that is measuring the wrong thing. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Week, month and year views show where your time actually went and which skills got it. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Your most recent skills, their levels and the week's practice — in three sizes. SYNCS PRIVATELY Your practice syncs across your devices through your own iCloud. No account, no sign-up, no server. I can't see any of it, and I don't want to. ONE PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Levely is free with up to three skills. One purchase unlocks unlimited skills, the Home Screen widget and extra themes. No subscription. No recurring charge. Pay once and it's yours.
