Spacial vs LifeAt
LifeAt is the bigger, older product. It counts its users in the millions and has grown from focus spaces into a planner, calendar and co-working app for individuals and teams. Spacial does one thing: a calm scene, a timer and a short list, so you can start focusing in seconds.

Where LifeAt is stronger
- Scale. Over 1,000 spaces on Pro, a planner, calendar sync, notes and co-working rooms. LifeAt does far more than Spacial.
- Your day in one place. Connect Google or Outlook, drag tasks onto your calendar and plan the week on a board.
- Your own music. Paste a Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music playlist into the media widget, and mix sounds on the soundboard.
- Focus with others. Join a public room or invite friends, run a synced Pomodoro and talk over chat or video.
- Desktop apps and teams. Native Mac and Windows apps, and a Business plan with project management, time tracking and invoicing.
Where Spacial is stronger
- The whole library is free. All 30+ scenes and their sounds, the Pomodoro timer, five tasks, a notepad and today's Insights. No account needed to start.
- Nothing to set up. Type what you're focusing on and press Start. No planner, no calendar, no rooms.
- Your layout, free. Move and restyle the home screen, arrange and resize widgets, and pick the font, dock position and dark mode.
- Insights by label. See where your focus went, with trends and a 24-hour focus clock on Focus.
- Lower price. Focus is $36 a year, against $96 for LifeAt Pro billed yearly, with a 30-day trial.
