Focus Friend

Bean focus timer: A bean character focuses while your timer runs, and stopping the timer early interrupts it. A finished session pays out rewards to spend on decorations.
Deep Focus Mode: Locks distracting apps for the length of a focus session, with an allow list for apps you still need. It is available on both iOS and Android.
Break timers: Breaks between sessions follow the Pomodoro method, and the break is when you decorate the bean's rooms.
Stopwatch timer, tags and statistics: A count-up timer covers tasks with no fixed length, sessions can be tagged, and a statistics page records focus time.
Rooms and decorations: Hundreds of decorations in different themes furnish the bean's house, which has grown to include a bedroom, bathroom, garden and a street view of the exterior.
Live Activity and widgets: On iPhone a Live Activity shows timer progress while the phone is locked, and an update added widget support.

Focus Keeper

Pomodoro timer: Runs the classic cycle of 25-minute focus sessions and 5-minute breaks, with a longer break after four sessions, and can start the next session automatically.
Custom session lengths: The length of focus sessions, short breaks and long breaks can each be changed to fit your own way of working.
Charts of focus time: Work sessions are logged automatically, and charts show focus time and work patterns so you can spot trends.
Tasks alongside the timer: Tasks are kept with the timer and its analytics, so sessions can be tied to what you are working on.
History saved to an account: Focus sessions and tasks are saved automatically, and the history can be opened from any device.
Web, phone and watch: A timer runs in the browser at focuskeeper.co, with apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android.
