Why Focus?

Willpower alone isn't enough. Focus App Blocker uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block apps at the system level, making it impossible to "just check" distracting apps. When you want access, complete a brief challenge; a breathing exercise, memory game, or reaction test. This friction transforms impulsive checking into intentional access, helping you build healthier digital habits over time.

Focus Mode Filter - Improper Togglesv1.1Bug

We have noticed an issue with focus mode filters not toggling properly, whether it's not enabling your profile automatically, or when a user turns the profile off, then turns the focus mode off; turns the profile back on.
