Flocus vs Sukha

Flocus

• Students and desk workers who want a timer, to-do list and music in one browser tab
• People who like to work to ambient sound against a styled background
• Trying different timer styles, from Pomodoro to 52/17

Sukha

• Writers, developers and designers doing solo deep work
• People who want music, timer, tasks and blocking behind one button
• Slack users who want their status set automatically during focus time

Flocus

• Browser-based only: there is no iOS or Android app, and the help center says it is designed for desktop and tablet.
• The free plan holds 3 tasks at a time and shows focus stats for a single day.
• Cross-device sync, the full theme and sound libraries and weekly and monthly stats need Flocus Plus.
• The refund policy says all Flocus Plus transactions are final sale; you can cancel, but past payments are not refunded.

Sukha

• There is no free plan: after the 3-day trial it costs $20 a month or $400 once, and no annual plan is listed.
• It runs only in Chromium browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Arc and Brave, with no native desktop app; Safari and Firefox are not listed.
• The site says blocking reaches apps and websites on your phone but does not explain how, and it lists no mobile app.
• The vendor says Sukha is not suited to people whose day is mostly phone calls, Zoom and meetings.

Flocus

Focus timer with several modes

Pomodoro, countdown, stopwatch, Animedoro and 52/17 modes, each with adjustable focus and break lengths. A picture-in-picture window keeps the timer visible in Chrome and Edge.

Priority to-do list

A drag-and-drop task list keeps the current task front and center. Free accounts hold 3 tasks at once; Plus removes the cap and adds durations and ETAs.

Focus stats and streaks

Every timed session is logged automatically, with a daily streak. Daily stats are free; weekly and monthly views and charts need Plus.

Music

Play curated focus playlists or paste a playlist or track link from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or SoundCloud.

Ambient sounds and soundscapes

White, pink and brown noise and binaural beats can be layered with ambient sounds such as rain, a cafe or a campfire, and mixed with music. Plus unlocks the full library.

Themes

Animated or static backgrounds set the look of the dashboard. Plus adds every theme, uploads of your own images and backgrounds from a YouTube URL.

Sukha

One-button focus sessions

A single Play button starts the music, the timer and the blocking together, so a session needs no separate setup. Members get unlimited daily sessions.

Flow music

Lofi and binaural tracks plus six more sound worlds, playing for as long as a session runs.

Distraction blocking

Blocks distracting websites and apps during a session, on the computer and, the vendor says, on your phone. A free Chrome extension extends the blocking across the browser.

AI task manager and coach

A task list keeps the next step in view, and the AI assistant breaks a task that feels too big into one specific next step. To-dos can be imported from Todoist, Linear and Google Tasks.

Automated Pomodoro timer

Sessions run on a work-and-break rhythm with prompts for healthy breaks, and streaks and points track how consistently you show up.

Slack status updates

When a session starts, Sukha sets your Slack status to say you are in a session and mutes incoming notifications.
