Focus Friend is a bean that knits while you work, from Hank Green, with 6,952 ratings at 4.8 and an update on 9 September 2026. Pro is $3.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or $39.99 for life, and the timer works without it, checked 16 September 2026.
If cute does not motivate you, nothing in this category will. That is the honest flaw.

Light and sticky. A good first focus app. Not a replacement for Opal if you need device-wide blocks.

The mascot is the product — skip it if that is not you
Plant a tree. It dies if you pick the phone up.
A breath and a delay instead of a hard block.
The day drawn as a timeline instead of a list.
