## What is Anchor?

Anchor helps you focus on what actually matters.


Start a timed focus session, automatically block the apps that distract you, and prove you really showed up by tapping an NFC tag at your desk or study spot. Anchor turns intention into a habit you can see.

FOCUS SESSIONS
  • Choose a simple countdown or the Pomodoro method.
  • Set your own duration and daily focus goal.
  • Stay locked in until your session ends.

BLOCK DISTRACTIONS
  • Pick the apps you want to shield during a session.
  • Opening a blocked app shows a calm reminder until you finish.
  • Get back to work without the pull of notifications.

TAP TO BEGIN
  • Scan an NFC tag to verify you're physically where you meant to be.
  • A small ritual that makes starting feel intentional.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
  • Track focus streaks, focus hours, and a daily focus score.
  • Review your history and weekly trends.
  • Get personalized AI insights and smart suggestions on when you focus best.

STAY ON TRACK
  • Optional reminders to start a session and protect your streak.
  • Sync sessions to your calendar so focus time lives alongside your day.

Anchor is built for students, professionals, and anyone who wants to reclaim their attention. Stay anchored to what matters.
