FocusDeck vs TickTick
Tasks and timers in one place — without the daily copy-paste
TickTick combines tasks with Pomodoro. FocusDeck goes further: reusable block sequences you design once and run daily — no manual copying.

What changes when you switch
Manual daily copying
TickTick requires you to manually copy or recreate your daily task list. Recurring tasks help but they do not preserve the sequence or timing of a focus session.
FocusDeck decks save your entire block sequence with durations. Hit run and the same routine plays out — no copy-paste, no reordering.
Single Pomodoro, not sequences
TickTick's Pomodoro is one timer on one task. Real study sessions have phases — reading, active recall, rest, review. You cannot model that in a single timer.
FocusDeck lets you chain different block types into one session. Focus, then rest, then practice, then review — all timed and guided in sequence.
No session-level insights
TickTick tracks task completion and Pomodoro counts but not how a full session went. You cannot see focus trends, session quality, or notes over time.
FocusDeck logs complete sessions with notes, completion rates, and trends. Review your actual focus patterns and iterate on your deck design.
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.
