Pond vs Focus Trainer / Timer

Pond - Your Digital Sanctuary A mindful app blocker for screen time balance and digital wellbeing You already know the feeling. Another evening lost to scrolling. Reaching for your phone during dinner. The exhaustion of being always on. Your phone promised connection. Instead, it scattered your attention into a thousand pieces. Pond is different. A gentle app blocker and screen time tracker that helps you reclaim your time. Not through guilt or gamification, but through quiet intention and mindful awareness. Three Things That Matter: Daily Balance Score One number that shows the quality of your digital day. Are you creating or consuming? Connecting or scrolling? Resting or stimulating? Not to judge—to help you notice. Track your digital wellbeing and build healthier phone habits. Mindful Blocking Set focus sessions for work, meditation, meals, or sleep. Block distracting apps and social media automatically. Your scattered attention becomes whole again. Just you and what you chose to do. Your Lotus Garden Each moment of presence blooms a lotus in your pond. Not points or streaks—just quiet beauty that grows with your practice. A visual reminder of time well spent and focus reclaimed. What You Can Do: • Block distracting apps during focus time • Set daily limits on social media and screen time • Schedule recurring sessions (work, sleep, meals, study) • Track your balance and phone usage without judgment • Take mindful breaks with breathing prompts • See weekly patterns in your digital life This Isn't Another Productivity App Pond won't buzz you to work harder. Won't shame you for a bad day. Won't turn presence into competition. Just a quiet space. A gentle reminder. A place to return to stillness. Perfect for those seeking digital detox, building healthier phone habits, improving focus, or simply using their phone more intentionally. Pond — a calmer way to use your phone. Your Privacy Matters Everything stays on your device. No tracking. No social comparison. No data collection. Terms & Conditions https://go.pixo.co/pond-terms

Focus Trainer is a timer with auto-adjusting focus intervals. Start small with short focus sessions that you can easily master and work yourself up to ever-increasing lengths of focus time. Get better at resisting distractions by immediately writing them down instead of letting them nag at your attention. Get them out of your head and follow up on them later (or not). If you do break your session take a second to note the cause. Over time, Focus Trainer will show you the most common interruptions so that you know what you need to work on. SET A FOCUS TIMER Decide for how long you want to focus and start the timer. Focus on your task until the time runs out. You need to reset the timer if you allow yourself to get distracted. IMPROVE YOUR FOCUS - ONE STEP AT A TIME Just like with other skills, start small and work yourself up. Begin with an easily manageable focus time. Focus Trainer will then gradually increase the length of your sessions. DUMP DISTRACTIONS Sooner or later a distraction will ask for your attention. A tangent thought, a shoutout from a coworker, or just a random idea. Before you let yourself get distracted by it, braindump it directly in the app. Write it down and forget about it - for the moment. Once your focus session is complete, you can pick it back up. REFLECT ON INTERRUPTIONS If you do let yourself get distracted, quickly note what caused it. Every once in a while, take a look at your collected notes. Focus Trainer will show you the most common reasons for interruptions. Tackle those first. Terms of use: https://www.focustrainer.app/en/terms-of-service/
