FLIP vs Focus Keeper

FLIP is a study-time and habit tracking app for Android and iOS. It measures study time when users turn their phone face down, then sorts the time by subject into a timetable. Its focus measure compares the number of breaks with the duration of a study period. Daily, weekly, and monthly totals, a chronological timeline, and daily study details help users review their activity. Planning tools include a study schedule, to-do list, and D-day countdown. FLIP also offers global study groups, real-time study activity, a discussion board, and school rankings; users can share study totals on social networks including Facebook and Instagram. The app is free to download with ads and in-app purchases. Monthly Premium Membership costs $0.99 a month; 6 Months Premium Membership costs 4.99 USD per 6 months; Yearly Premium Membership costs $8.99 a year. Premium makes goals, groups, to-do lists, D-days, study schedules, and themes unlimited, and adds a timetable, weekly and monthly reports, and backup and restore. The Google Play listing says FLIP is more effective when used with UBhind. Its privacy disclosures say the app may share location and app activity data, may collect personal information and messages, and reports that data is not encrypted.

Focus Keeper is a Pomodoro timer and productivity service for planning work sessions, organizing tasks and following focus patterns. Its web timer shows 25-minute focus periods, 5-minute short breaks and 25-minute long breaks. Users can combine the timer with a task list; work sessions are logged automatically, then displayed in charts showing focus time and work patterns. The service also describes identifying focus patterns and tracking habits. Sessions and tasks are saved automatically, with history accessible on any device. Focus Keeper is web-based and available on iOS and Android, and the homepage offers a free signup option. Premium features may involve a subscription. Users can cancel at any time and keep premium access through the current billing period, but are not refunded for that cycle. The privacy policy says account and usage data may include name, email, password, task details, session durations, settings, IP address and browser activity. It says reasonable measures are used to protect personal information but absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
