Quit doomscrolling and achieve more with better screen time—FocusPledge helps you take control by blocking distractions and turning your goals into reality, one focused session at a time.
Did you know the average person spends over ~2.5 hours a day on social media? Staying focused is harder than ever with constant notifications and apps pulling you in every direction. Even with tools like app blockers or time management tips, it’s easy to get sucked back in because most of them depend on sheer willpower—and let’s face it, that’s no match for apps designed to keep you scrolling.
[+] Enter FocusPledge:
Most productivity tools depend on willpower, but FocusPledge offers a smarter way to stay focused. You get to choose how challenging your session will be, including the option to put money on the line for charity. If you choose this mode, every time you think about breaking focus, you’ll have to decide: stick to your session or let your pledge go to charity. This simple choice, repeated over time, helps you build lasting focus habits and take control of your screen time.
[+] Why does FocusPledge Work:
- Turn distractions into motivation with real-world stakes: if you break focus, your pledge goes to charity.
- Even small financial pledges tap into your brain’s natural loss aversion, making it harder to give in to distractions.
- Science shows we feel losses 2.5 times more strongly than gains—FocusPledge uses this to your advantage.
