Best Rize alternative for Mac
Rize tells you where the hours went. If you already know, and the problem is getting the planned work done, Focuh is an ADHD todo list for Mac and web that keeps the day in front of you.
Free. Early beta. No subscription.
What is the best Rize alternative for Mac?
For people who need a plan and a wall more than a report, Focuh is the best Rize alternative on Mac. You plan in Today and Week, keep recurring work in Loops, and start a focus session that blocks distractions across the Mac. If automatic tracking, scores, and coaching are what help you improve, Rize remains the stronger pick. Free. Early beta. No subscription.
Signs you have outgrown Rize
You open the weekly report, see the same context switching, and nothing changes the next day. You still keep your real todo list in another app, because Rize has none. You pay for the Basic plan, $9.99 a month on the annual plan or $12.99 month to month (as of October 2026), and the charts have stopped telling you anything new.
What changes when you switch
Focuh is an ADHD todo list for Mac and web. Tracking goes away: Focuh does not watch which apps you use or chart your hours. In its place you get a short Today list beside Google Calendar, a Week view, Loops for standing work you pull in when it fits, and Goals for the bigger targets. When you start a focus session on the Mac, the sites and apps you picked are blocked system-wide, so the distraction is closed instead of logged. The same list opens in the web app.
Who should stay on Rize
Stay on Rize if you bill clients by the hour, report time to a team, or genuinely improve by reviewing data on Mac and Windows. Focuh will not replace that measurement. The two cover different problems, so running both is reasonable.
