Worth knowing
Focus To-Do
- The store listings do not say which features need Premium, so the limits of the free version could not be confirmed.
- The Focus To-Do Premium purchase carries no billing period on the US App Store and is listed at $1.99 for iOS and $3.99 for Mac.
- Prices appear only in the app stores; the vendor's site lists downloads but has no pricing page.
- The Windows version is a direct download from the vendor's site, and no web app or Linux version is listed.
Goodtime
- The iOS version is a beta distributed through TestFlight, and no desktop or web version is listed.
- Labels, timer customization, label statistics, session editing, backup and export, and picture-in-picture all need the premium purchase.
- The README warns that some Android phones stop the app in the background and advises turning off battery optimization for it.
- It is a timer only: the vendor describes no task list and no app or website blocking beyond Do Not Disturb mode.
Key features
Focus To-Do
- Pomodoro timer
- Pomodoro and break lengths are adjustable, with short and long breaks, pause and resume, a skip-break option, a continuous mode and a warning before a session ends.
- Tasks and projects
- Tasks take due dates, recurring schedules, reminders, subtasks, color-coded priorities, notes and an estimated number of pomodoros.
- Reports
- Statistics cover total focus time, completed to-dos and time per project, with trend charts, a Gantt chart of focus time and a calendar view.
- Sync across devices
- Lists and focus records sync between phone and computer; the listings name iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Android and Windows.
- White noise and alarms
- A choice of white noise can play during a session, and an alarm or vibration marks the end of each pomodoro.
- Forest and App Whitelist
- The Android listing adds a Forest view, where focused time grows a plant, and an App Whitelist that limits which apps can be used while focusing.
Goodtime
- Timer profiles
- Strict countdown timers suit techniques such as Pomodoro, with longer breaks after several sessions. An open-ended count-up mode builds a break budget as you work.
- Swipe controls
- The timer is paused, skipped or extended with swipe gestures on a plain screen, and sessions can be set to start automatically.
- Colored labels
- Labels organize sessions by task, each with its own timer settings, and can be archived when finished. Labels are a premium feature.
- Statistics
- Statistics total your focus time, with a configurable start of day and week. Premium adds views by label, notes and manual editing of sessions, including ones done offline.
- Backup and export
- Premium includes automatic local backups, manual export and import for moving to another device, and CSV or JSON export. Optional sync uses your own Google Drive or iCloud.
- Do Not Disturb and alerts
- Do Not Disturb mode can switch on while the timer runs. Premium alerts add a screen flash, the torch and persistent notifications.
