Features

Block distracting apps

Choose specific apps and categories to block, or block everything at once. Uses Apple's Screen Time API — apps are actually blocked, not just hidden.

NFC tags

Stick a tag on your desk, your bookshelf, your gym bag. Tap to start. The physical action makes the commitment real.

Timed & Toggle

Set a duration and let the session end on its own, or use toggle mode to scan in and scan out whenever you're ready.

Activity tracking

See your focus history week by week. Each day's opacity reflects how much you focused. Set weekly goals and build streaks.

You can't beat someone who is having fun.

Take back your day.

Free. No ads. No subscriptions.
