Best for Breaking things up.

Intermittent breaks have been proven to help with productivity. Knowing this, Be Focused follows the Pomodoro Technique, breaking your day up into 25-minute focus sessions followed by five-minute breaks, which you can use to stretch, do some breathing exercises, make a cup of tea, listen your favourite song—or whatever you feel will help you reset.

If that style of timing doesn't suit, the app allows users to customise work interval and break durations, while tracking progress throughout the day or week.

Best for Time management for people who suck at time management. 

Toggl will change the way you view and use your time. Aside from basic time tracking—along with the help of reminders and idle detection—it can sync your time entries between apps, and even go deeper by helping you break down your hours by projects, clients and tasks to see what’s making you money—and what’s holding you back.

Best for Incentivising daily tasks.

Forest uses a game-style premise to keep you on track. Plant a 'seed' when you're ready to get to work on a task and set a timer. If you commit to the task, your 'tree' grows, but if you exit the app, that 'tree' dies.

Over time, you can grow entire forests built from your focus and commitment. Better still, Forest has partnered with Trees of the Future to plant actual trees.
