About this app

Focus Friend is a cozy, gamified focus timer created by online educator Hank Green!

When you Focus, your Bean Friend will Focus. If you interrupt your Bean by turning off the timer, they'll be really really sad.

Complete your focus session, and this cute Bean will give you prizes to buy decorations to help furnish their room.

Perfect for anyone who struggles with long sessions of concentration. Focus Friend is for students and beyond.

Features:
- Live Activity: See your timer progress when your phone is locked
- Deep Focus Mode: Lock distracting apps during your focus sessions
- Break Timers: Decorate on your breaks, using the Pomodoro method of productivity
- Hundreds of decorations: Decorate your room in different fun themes
- Bean Skins: Try on different Bean types to customize your Focus Friend (Coffee Bean, Edamame Bean, Pinto Bean, Kitty Bean, or even Hank and John Green... Or rather Hank and John Bean!)

Focus Friend will even help you with getting started on your tasks and getting into the flow of your work or studying or even chores.

Stay Focused, Have Fun, Drink Water, and Don't Forget to be Awesome~
When you Focus, so will your Bean in this cozy focus timer

This a great app! I like how straightforward it is and that even the free version has all the features and a lot of furnitre. Just two minor things: - I wish you could preview furniture in the room before buying it, as I struggle picturing it in the room and I had to get multiples of the same object. - I struggle to click on the chair in decorating mode, it always clicks either the deks or the rug. Apart from this, amazing. The one thing that's been working.

Thanks so much for using Focus Friend! This is great feedback, and truly so useful as we continue to shape the app. We've integrated the preview feature now, so you can see how decorations look in your room before getting them! :)

I really like this app and it's been super helpful to keep me motivated. But once you've progressed through the first few rooms I found it had the opposite effect. Everything costs so much that it seems unachievable. I study for a whole day and still can't afford a window (and that's with paying for pro). Otherwise no notes because it's so cute and fun.

Good app, my one issue is because a lot of items cost so many socks to get on the free version (especially as you move up the rooms), you end up wanting to cheat sometimes just to make a good progress on the house (starting a timer without actually focusing). I work in the field of UX, and familiar with gamification. I like this app, but the progress is too slow without cheating a bit, and personally the paid items are too much (I would never spend that much on an app).
