A link, not an explanation
Everyone gets a code and a link. Send it and the app opens straight on the add-friend screen. One tap changes the code if it ended up somewhere it shouldn’t.

Simple process
How our study and work timer works
No complicated settings. Just open the app, plant a seed, and focus on what's important.
01
Choose seed, time, and task
Select a seed to plant from your collection, set your focus timer, and select the task you will be working on.
02
Deep concentration
Focus on your task. Depending on the mode, you can put your phone away or keep using it while the plant absorbs your productivity.
03
Harvest your plant
When the timer ends, the plant will receive Growth Points (GP) and you will receive coins. A successful 25-minute session earns 20 coins and 1.0 GP!

Monitor your plant's growth without unlocking your phone. View the remaining session time right on the lock screen or in Dynamic Island (on iOS).

New in 2.0
Focus together
A garden grows faster with someone beside you. Add friends by link, follow each other’s week, and nudge them when focus is hard.
The week at a glance
How long a friend focused this week, their streak and level, and whether they’re in a session right now. Nothing else — just those numbers.
A friendly nudge
One tap sends your friend a notification. Sometimes that’s all it takes to put the phone down and start.
Off by default
Friends are a separate switch — until you turn it on, nobody can see you. Any friend can be removed, blocked or reported.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know to get started growing your digital botanical garden.
How does the application understand that I am distracted?
▾
Depends on the selected mode: “Strict” prohibits minimizing the application, “Soft” gives 15 seconds to return, and “Background” allows you to freely use the phone. If the rules of the active mode are violated, the plant will die.
What happens when the plant is fully grown?
▾
A fully grown plant can be archived - it will be transferred to your collection, freeing up a slot for a new seed. For sessions you also receive coins to purchase new seeds in the store.
Can I lock my phone screen while working?
▾
Yes! You can lock the screen. The app will continue timing in the background and display the current status in a widget on the Live Activities lock screen.
Does the app have a paid subscription?
▾
Focus Aura is free, but the Pro subscription gives you 2x coins, access to all themes and exclusive seeds, 50% discount on music, and also unlocks custom timers, task tags, streak freezing, and AI analytics.
What is the Pomodoro technique?
▾
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that breaks work into intervals (typically 25 minutes). Focus Aura gamifies this method by turning each 25-minute interval into the growth of a virtual plant.
How to stop being distracted by my phone?
▾
Our app offers a "Strict Mode" that punishes you for leaving the app by killing your plant. This creates a powerful incentive to put your phone away and maintain deep concentration.
Can I sync my progress between devices?
▾
Yes! Focus Aura uses cloud sync. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email on any device, and your garden, coins, streaks, and statistics will sync automatically.
What are the focus modes (Strict, Lenient, Ambient)?
▾
Strict mode kills your plant if you leave the app. Lenient mode gives you 15 seconds to return before the plant dies. Ambient mode lets the timer run in the background while you use other apps freely.
How does the coin and shop system work?
▾
You earn coins by completing focus sessions (e.g. 20 coins for 25 minutes). Spend them in the shop on rare seeds, ambient music, and premium themes. PRO users earn 2× coins and get 50% off music.
Does Focus Aura work offline?
▾
Yes! The timer, plant growth, and all core features work without an internet connection. Your progress will sync to the cloud automatically once you're back online.
How is Focus Aura different from Forest?
▾
Focus Aura offers deeper gamification: multiple plant species with rarity levels, a garden grid system, AI productivity insights, task management with tags, a progression system with 50 ranks, and streak mechanics with freeze protection.
Can I use Focus Aura for exam preparation?
▾
Absolutely! Create study tasks, set 25-50 minute Pomodoro sessions, and track your progress with weekly reports. The Strict mode ensures you won't get distracted by social media during study blocks.
