I’ve been using Focus Friend by Hank Green for a couple months now. It’s basically a gamified focus timer – when you start a session, your little Bean Friend will focus along with you. And if you interrupt the timer, they get really sad. But complete a session, and you’ll earn prizes to decorate your Bean’s room.
There’s a Deep Focus mode that locks distracting apps, which is pretty useful. And you can use the Pomodoro method with the built-in break timers. Plus, there are hundreds of decorations to choose from to make your Bean’s space look cool.
Look, if you struggle with staying focused, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the upgrades take forever at higher levels – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out, especially if you’re a Hank Green fan.
