Comparisons
How Focus Valley differs from other focus apps, written so you can check it. Every claim about another product comes from that product's own site or store listing; where we could not verify something, the line is not there.
Focus Valley vs Forest
Forest watches your phone: leave the app and the tree dies. Focus Valley's desktop app watches your computer: stop typing and clicking and the timer stops by itself. Different distraction, different device.
Read the comparison →Focus Valley vs Pomofocus
Pomofocus is a task tracker with a timer attached: tasks, estimates, reports, plus ads in the free version. Focus Valley has no task list and no ads, and counts minutes rather than pomodoros. Real inactivity detection exists only in its paid desktop app.
Read the comparison →Focus Valley's own timer is free in the browser with no account: try it first, then read about what the desktop app adds or go straight to the downloads. The one feature no comparison table conveys is the weekly world leaderboard, which the web timer and the desktop app share.
Downloads are currently unavailable while we work on improving the experience. The free web timer is unaffected and available to use now.
If what you are really comparing is methods rather than apps, the guides cover the Pomodoro technique itself and why focus at a computer is hard to hold.
