The Verdict
Llama Life is a delightful, ADHD-designed way to timebox your day — its auto-advancing task playlists and phone-and-web sync make single-tasking feel effortless, and the mobile apps go where Focusmo (Mac-only) can't. Choose Focusmo if you want to actually block distracting apps and websites during a session, run a Pomodoro timer, sync with Things or Todoist, and keep a free-forever plan instead of a trial.
