Ad-free, versatile, and focused timing software that helps you concentrate on your work or studies. Introduction: Whenever you want to focus on a task (reading, working, preparing for exams, etc.), you can activate the "Focus Mode," and a "little flying man" will appear on the clock, moving towards your goal. If you can't resist checking your social media or playing games, unfortunately, the "little flying man" will disappear immediately, and the Focus Mode will exit (you can switch to background timing mode)... If you activate the "background timing mode," you can use other applications after setting the time, and the clock will send a reminder notification when the time is up. If you succeed in the challenge, it will be recorded in the daily focus statistics. The longer you study, the darker green the cover background on the statistics page will be. There are also surprises for successful challenges! After activating the background mode, the countdown can be displayed in Lingdong Island! Points to note: Please enable push notification permissions. After successfully completing a challenge, a message will be sent to notify you. Features: Various clock styles can be changed. Background skins can be changed. Activates the countdown mode after entering the "Focus Mode." Check your daily focus time and previous focus times.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Alarm Clock for Me at free with in-app purchases against Focus Clock's subscription. Alarm Clock for Me also leads on ratings volume (124K vs 20) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Focus Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (69% vs 51%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Alarm Clock for Me sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Focus Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Alarm Clock for Me holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alarm Clock for Me has 124K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Alarm Clock for Me's written reviews are positive against 69% of Focus Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Alarm Clock for Me ships an update every 5 weeks, Focus Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
