| Fact | Focusd | Opal |
|---|---|---|
| Focus timer | Focusd includes a configurable Pomodoro timer with a 25-minute default and break reminders. | The Focus Timer lets users choose what to focus on and set a duration that locks them in until the timer ends. |
| Privacy | The site states that Focusd has no account, cloud sync, or telemetry, and that its only network request is an optional update check. | Opal states that detailed app-usage data processed through iOS Screen Time and Android Accessibility Service and Usage Stats remains on the device. |
| Purpose | Focusd is a native Windows screen-time tracker that records app and browser-tab usage. | Opal says it protects focus automatically and helps people make technology work for them. |
It suits Windows users who want local screen-time reports, application limits and focus sessions without sending usage data to a SaaS service. It supports Windows 10 or 11 on x64.
Opal suits people who want to block selected apps, set timed focus sessions, and review focus-related signals. Its free plan offers a starting point, while Pro adds unlimited rules and Opal Score history.
