Find it hard to concentrate? This focus timer uses an unlikely reward to help you avoid distractions: Helping the friendly animated Bean finish its knitting—and spiffing up its living space.

What we love: No hustle culture here. In this gentle gamified experience, when you avoid picking up your phone, Bean knits socks that you can trade in for furniture, artwork, curtains—the works! You can also dress Bean up as a kitten, a dog, or electric blue Jello (our favorite).

Quick tip: Want to track how much time you spent reading, working out, or on another positive habit? Set the focus timer to count up rather than down. To get started, tap Focus and select the up arrow.
