Focus Valley vs Tilemode

Focus Valley is a Pomodoro timer that works in any browser without signup, rewarding each focused minute with sparks that count toward a global weekly ranking.

Tilemode packs three Mac utilities into one: it wraps websites as standalone apps, assigns global hotkeys to any app, and arranges windows from the keyboard.

About Focus Valley

Focus Valley is a browser based Pomodoro timer for students, developers and remote workers who want structure and a little friendly competition. The default preset runs 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5 minute break. Each minute of completed focus earns a spark, and daily streaks are stored locally, so no account is needed. Signing up is optional and serves only two purposes: joining the world leaderboard, which resets every Monday in UTC, and syncing data across devices. The top three each week receive Gems, which never expire. A desktop app that covers the screen when work stops is described on the site but is temporarily unavailable. The web timer is free with no time limit.

About Tilemode

Tilemode is a native macOS utility for people who prefer the keyboard. It can turn any website into a separate app with its own window, icon, Dock entry and logins, so web tools behave like desktop software. Any app, web or native, can be bound to a hotkey that launches, focuses or cycles its windows, including a leader key mode. Tiling shortcuts arrange windows as halves, thirds, quarters or a main and stack layout, and named layouts can be saved. A command line tool and an installable skill let coding agents configure it, with settings stored in one config.toml file. It costs 9 USD once at an early bird price, down from 29 USD.
