FocusDeck vs Motion
Your focus routine should not need an AI to run it

What changes when you switch
Expensive and complex
Motion starts at $19/month and requires connecting calendars, projects, and task lists before it does anything. For a simple focus routine, that is excessive.
FocusDeck is free to start. Build a deck in under a minute — no calendar integrations, no project setup, no AI training period.
AI overrides your control
Motion reshuffles your schedule automatically. If you want a specific focus routine at a specific time, the AI may move it based on priorities you did not set.
FocusDeck runs when you decide. Your deck, your timing. No AI second-guessing your focus routine.
No session-level experience
Motion plans when you work but offers no guidance during the session. No timer, no block progression, no notes, no review.
FocusDeck walks you through each block with a live timer, captures notes as you go, and gives you a session review when you finish.
How FocusDeck works
Step 1
Build your deck
Pick block types — focus, rest, practice, review. Set durations. Name it.
Step 2
Run it daily
One click starts your full session. A timer guides you through each block.
Step 3
Review & improve
See session history, notes, and analytics. Adjust your deck based on real data.
