Rivet - Build Your Focus ($1.99) by Raheel Ahmad helps you manage your time and get the tasks you need completed done. It's a focusing tool and it does its job well.

I don't know about you, but I have a wicked case of ADD. Especially when it comes to work. It's hard for me to focus on one thing for lengthy periods of time. This is especially difficult when, throughout the day, I am distracted by Internet cats and other such things that draw my attention away from work.

This is where Rivet comes in. A slick little app with one purpose: to help you build your focus. It has a minimal, yet very sleek, interface so as to not distract you.

Let's start focusing. Pick to focus for a certain amount of time, quietly, or focus while music plays. You can choose from your music library to a create a playlist. Songs, albums, playlists, genres, artists, or podcasts.

Don't click a song more than once, though; it will just add that song to you playlist repeatedly. There's no way to delete it right there. You must go back to the playlist you'e made and delete them individually. Which wouldn't be that bad, except each time I deleted one on the bottom, it scrolled to the top. So I kept having to scroll down, delete, scroll down, delete. Just don't accidentally add multiples of the same song like I did.

You can set up routines with multiple time blocks and save them for later use. A tone can be chosen when you want to be alerted once your time is up as well. And best of all, you can view reports of how much work you actually accomplished. It's pretty satisfying.

As I write this, I'm timing myself. Ensuring my work gets done; forcing myself to focus. So, if you too are looking for an app to aid you in focusing, Rivet may be for you. It helps you with the tasks you need to complete, or even breaks you need to take so that you can complete these tasks.

Rivet - Build Your Focus is available in the App Store for $1.99. If you need help focusing, this is a small price to pay. It gets the job done while helping you do yours.
