Exocus: Gamified Focus Timer

I have adhd and autism, and this app has helped me so much. It’s motivating and fun to watch your planet evolve, and it doesn’t even have any ads. Although some features require a subscription, a lot of it is still free. Definitely would recommend, it’s the most fun and best focus app I’ve tried yet. Just a small thing, when I hyperfocus for long periods of time, like when I write or read for hours on end it doesn’t count for the time I actually spent. For example, if I spent 6 hours reading, that would count for 3 stage progressions according to basic math. But it only counts for one stage progression, which I find extremely unfair because I spent so much time focusing in hopes of evolving my planet further. Everything else is perfectly fine, it’s just this one thing.

This app is nearly perfect as it is now, but there’s one feature I miss from other apps. This app has a Focus Mode so you can’t open other apps while growing your planet, I love this feature but I wish it was possible to create a whitelist of apps that are allowed. Sometimes I need to check my email or use another app during the focus session. You can pause the session, but that doesn’t really help if the task is something that needs to be done on your phone and takes a long time. That being said, everything else about the app from its style to its permanent membership is amazing, and I’m very happy with it as someone with ADHD who struggles to focus.

Hey, thanks for making this app. I bought the Pass right away and really enjoyed the artwork, the idea of locking in to witness a universe evolve and many other things. I have a few feature requests that I would love to see implemented: 1. Something like a daily login mission. I used to use the forest focus timer and their daily challenge feature is what makes me feel the most motivated. I feel the pull to do something everyday in order to receive the rewards from the app. I would appreciate a feature like this in Exocus. 2. I haven't been using Exocus for very long, but there does not seem to be a built-in functionality to share the content/timer records on social media. To be fair, I personally do not post in social that often but I think a feature like that will help with promoting this App, especially since the artwork is so great. 3. I would appreciate a desktop version of the App. I don't like to have to interact with my phone while I am focusing. Also since I do most of my work in the laptop, it would be best to have everything in one place. Thanks again for the App.
