User Reviews

Users love Exocus for its beautiful visuals, calming atmosphere, and engaging planet-evolution rewards that motivate focus. They value the one-time Exopass, widgets, and ad-free experience. Common drawbacks include limited free features, perceived high premium price, occasional login/connection issues, and requests for more planet variety and a Focus Mode whitelist (plus a desktop option).

Pros

Beautiful, calming visuals and music with a sleek, minimal UI.
Planet evolution and narrations provide satisfying motivation to focus.
One-time Exopass purchase adds value (widgets, stat graphs) without a subscription.
Ad-free experience and non-intrusive design keeps focus on work.
Timer with built-in break planning and home screen widgets enhance productivity.

Cons

Free version lacks many features and feels limited.
Premium pricing is seen as pricey, with in-app purchases and promotions.
Some users experience login/connection issues (loading screen, wifi problems).
Missing Focus Mode whitelist; hard to prevent leaving the app during focus sessions.
Planet visuals can feel repetitive; requests for more planet variety.

I’ve tried plenty and seen many of study apps but none of them really interested me. As someone who loves science and especially space this one was the perfect match. I’m actually excited to put in the time to see my planets evolve and build my solar system. I bought the exopass immediately and it’s been the best. The artwork is absolutely beautiful and you can tell this is made with so much love and care. The music is amazing as well to study to, as someone who can’t study without music the built in feature is amazing, plus space themed music?? Couldn’t ask for more. Overall this is just a beautiful well made app and I hope this hidden gem gets the recognition it deserves.

I have adhd and autism, and this app has helped me so much. It’s motivating and fun to watch your planet evolve, and it doesn’t even have any ads. Although some features require a subscription, a lot of it is still free. Definitely would recommend, it’s the most fun and best focus app I’ve tried yet. Just a small thing, when I hyperfocus for long periods of time, like when I write or read for hours on end it doesn’t count for the time I actually spent. For example, if I spent 6 hours reading, that would count for 3 stage progressions according to basic math. But it only counts for one stage progression, which I find extremely unfair because I spent so much time focusing in hopes of evolving my planet further. Everything else is perfectly fine, it’s just this one thing.
