Focus Hotel
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

FocusDeep

FocusDeep is a quiet focus timer for the things you keep meaning to get to. Type what you want to make time for, then pick a countdown between five minutes and two hours. If you'd rather not watch the clock, let it count up while you work. Clari, a small leafy friend, stays in your room the whole time. When the session ends you collect stars, and it goes into your journal with a short note if you want to add one. Stars buy little treasures for your room: a sun lamp, a morning fern, a moon clock, a paper crane and more. You decide what goes out and what gets put away, and over a few weeks the room fills up with the time you put in. There's a cloud study, a moonlit garden and a star observatory, each at night or at dawn. WHAT'S INSIDE ⢠A countdown from 5 to 120 minutes, or an open-ended count-up ⢠Clari, an original companion who reads, rests and celebrates with you ⢠Stars for every finished session, and twelve treasures to collect ⢠Three illustrated rooms, each with a night and a dawn mood ⢠A focus journal with tags and short reflections ⢠A daily focus goal you can change whenever you like ⢠A break timer for five, ten or fifteen minutes ⢠Ambient sound: soft rain, ocean waves, forest birds, a crackling fire, brown noise or a quiet breeze ⢠Your running timer on the lock screen ⢠A daily focus alarm on the days you choose ⢠Optional app blocking with Screen Time during countdowns of 20 minutes or more Use it for study sessions, work sprints, reading, practice, or that email you've been putting off. You can start as a guest without signing up. Create an account when you want to keep your room and pick it up on another device. Ending a session early is fine. You just don't get stars for that one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FocusDeep at none against Focus Hotel's 3. FocusDeep also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
