Looking for a Focus To-Do alternative?
Focus To-Do combines a pomodoro timer and a task list in native apps for almost every device. Todo & Timer has the same idea — tasks and focus rounds together — but runs in the browser and keeps the core free.
| Feature | Focus To-Do | Todo & Timer |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free app; an optional paid Premium (in-app purchase) adds sync, white noise and detailed reports. | Free: the timer, timebox mode and sync between devices. Paid plans add room for more lists, tasks, files and history. |
| Focus timer | Pomodoro timer built into every task, with white noise (Premium). | Pomodoro timer with custom lengths, unlimited rounds on every plan. Each round belongs to one task and ends with “done / not yet / later”. |
| Tasks | Tasks, subtasks, projects, recurring tasks, reminders and notes. | Lists with sections, subtasks, due dates, reminders, notes, attachments and read-only share links. |
| Per-task time & finish time | Estimated pomodoros per task and time statistics per project. | Timebox mode: give any task its own minutes, see when the whole list will be done, run the list in order. |
| Sync between devices | Across its apps; listed as a Premium feature. | Free account syncs between devices and works offline. |
| Platforms | iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, Apple Watch and a Chrome extension. | Any modern browser, desktop and mobile. No native apps yet. |
| Use without an account | Yes, in the apps. | Yes — guest mode keeps everything in this browser, no sign-up. |
Prices and plan limits change, so we don't quote them here. See Focus To-Do's website and our plans page for the current details.
