## Description

Exocus turns focus sessions into a planetary evolution story. This pixel-art, gamified focus timer uses Pomodoro, countdown, and stopwatch modes to turn disciplined concentration into a rewarding journey. Optional Hardcore Mode adds stakes by risking planetary destruction, helping you stay focused without distraction.

Track long-term progress with project-based planets, unlock hundreds of planet designs with Stardust coins, and view personalized statistics to understand your focus patterns. Whether you’re memorizing words, learning an instrument, or practicing a language, Exocus makes sustained focus engaging and guilt-free.

## Review summary

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.

### 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.
