Stay Focused, Have Fun, Drink Water, and Don't Forget to be Awesome~

Ratings and reviews

I really like this app! It's definitley helped me stay focused on my assignments and I love decorating my bean's house. Also, I'm so happy there's no ads! However, I do wish the count-up timer could go higher than 120 minutes. Sometimes I work on an assignment for longer than that and I have to start another timer. There's been a few times when I haven't noticed the timer stopped while I was working so I didn't gain any socks for that extra time.

LOVE IT! Such a cute way to stay focused and accountable. Customization is such a huge motivator for people like me so more bean options like color, shape, outfits, or facial expressions would be great! I would also really appreciate a slightly more in-depth tracking system, with data about the time you spent focusing (weekly or monthly graphs) and on what subject (studying, hobbies, cleaning, etc.). Can't wait to see what the future holds!

I struggle to keep reading when my phone is within arms reach. Focus Friend has given me a low key nudge to keep from reaching for it between chapters. I don't use the locking feature, so I can still get in if I need to, but the little nudge is just enough to keep me from doom scrolling endlessly. The app is also undeniably cute. I'm looking forward to new updates and new decorations!
