# Focus Keeper vs Timeframe

The clearest difference is update cadence: Focus Keeper at every 4 days against Timeframe's every 2 months. Focus Keeper also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 18) and device support (3 vs 1). Timeframe's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 68%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Keeper sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Timeframe sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Focus Keeper against 4.8 for Timeframe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Keeper has 32K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Focus Keeper's written reviews are positive against 94% of Timeframe's.

Focus Keeper ships an update every 4 days, Timeframe every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 18, 2026 respectively.
