Best Rize alternative for Mac
Rize is the better pick if you need automatic time tracking and reports. Focuh is the free Mac and web ADHD todo list if execution is the leak.
Free. Early beta. No subscription.
Where Rize wins
Rize is automatic time tracking. A desktop app for Mac and Windows watches what you work on and turns it into reports: focus time, interruptions, context switching, breaks. If your bottleneck is not knowing where the hours went, Rize is built for that. It is a subscription, about $12.99 a month on the individual plan. Focuh has none of that tracking. It does not watch your apps and it does not build charts.
Where Focuh wins
Focuh is an ADHD todo list for Mac and web. Today sits next to Google Calendar. Week is the week. Loops are standing to-dos with no date: you pull a copy onto today and the loop stays. Goals are the one win for the horizon. On Mac, website and app blocking is system-wide, so it still holds when you leave the browser. Rize has no todo list, so you still need somewhere to decide what today is, and it does not block apps across the Mac. A perfect time report does not close Reddit.
Price: Focuh is free. Early beta. No subscription. Rize is paid. That is not a dig. With Rize you are buying the tracking engine and the reports.
Who should pick which
Pick Rize if you bill hours, run on data, and need measurement of where your time actually goes. Pick Focuh if the leak is execution: you need the list in front of you, Today next to GCal, and the Mac blocker to hold. They barely overlap, so some people run both. If you only pick one, pick the bottleneck you actually have.
