iPhone app · Free to start
It doesn'tlock you in.You learn to hold.
An urge rises, peaks and falls in 60-90 seconds. Almost nobody makes it to the fall. Focus is built so you do.
What's at stake
60-90
seconds
How long an urge lasts if you don’t give in. Then it fades on its own.
144
unlocks a day
The average. Every "just a sec" costs 20 minutes to get your focus back.
23
whole days a year
Awake, staring at something you didn't choose.
How it works
Friction, not willpower
Sessions that are hard to quit
Giving up takes up to 12 seconds of holding, with your phone buzzing and your own intention on screen. Leaving the app gets noticed.
I have the urge
60 guided seconds straight from your Lock Screen, without opening anything. The urge drops on its own if you give it time.
Real app blocking
During a session, iOS covers the apps you pick. You can leave Focus: they stay covered. The block comes off by itself at the end.
Night block
At your bedtime, your apps stay covered until you get up, even with Focus closed. Free.
Inside
An instrument, not a toy
No confetti, no mascots, no cardboard medals. Just what it’s costing you and what you’ve won back.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your phone
No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. What you log stays on your iPhone and goes with the app if you delete it. You can export it or wipe it whenever you want.
- Urges protected with Face ID, by default.
- Discreet mode: shake your phone and they become "Habit 17".
- Focus can't see which apps you use: it just asks iOS to cover the ones you pick.

Questions
What people usually ask
Does it block my whole phone?
No. It only covers the apps you pick, and only during a session or the night block. Calls, maps and the camera stay there.
What if I really need another app?
You say so before you start and the session stays clean. The point is deciding it cold, not halfway through.
Does it work if I close Focus?
Yes. iOS applies the block, so it stays on with the app closed, and comes off by itself at the end.
Do I need an account?
There's no account and no server. Nothing to remember and nothing that can leak.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, in your Apple ID settings. The 14-day trial isn't charged if you cancel before it ends.
Your first clean session is today
Not tomorrow.
