Worth knowing
Focus Keeper
- Focus Keeper publishes no price list; the US App Store shows Pro purchases at seven different amounts.
- The vendor does not say which features are limited to Focus Keeper Pro.
- There is no Mac or Windows app; on a computer it runs in the browser.
- The pages read describe a timer and tracker only, with no blocking of apps or websites.
Pomofocus
- The free version shows ads and stops at 3 templates; projects, yearly reports and report downloads need Premium.
- Todoist import and webhook connections are Premium features.
- No native phone app is listed: on a phone it runs in the browser, and the Mobile Alarm sound is not supported on iOS.
- The site warns that the Windows download is not signed with a developer certificate, so Windows shows a safety warning.
