## What is BrainWins?

Take back your time—and make every focused minute count.

BrainWins is an app blocker, screen time control, and focus timer designed to help you stop doomscrolling without turning digital wellbeing into punishment.

Create reusable Focus Modes for work, study, sleep, mornings, or any part of your day. Start a Focus Run whenever you need an immediate reset, or schedule your modes to protect time automatically.

BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS AND WEBSITES

Choose the apps, categories, and websites that distract you using Apple’s private Screen Time picker. BrainWins receives private control tokens—not the names of the apps or websites you select.

CREATE MODES FOR REAL LIFE

Build separate modes for deep work, studying, bedtime, mornings, or a quick doomscroll reset. Choose the protection level that fits each situation and activate a mode whenever you need it.

START A FOCUS RUN

Need to focus right now? Start a timed Focus Run, block distractions, and protect the next stretch of your day.

TURN FOCUS INTO PROGRESS

Track protected minutes, Daily Wins, streaks, BrainScore, XP, and your journey through BrainDrive. BrainWins makes the time you reclaim visible—and gives you a reason to keep going.

FOCUS TOGETHER

Join friends, crews, challenges, leagues, and focus rooms. Community features include in-app reporting and blocking controls.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your selected app names, websites, Screen Time tokens, and raw per-app activity stay on your iPhone. A cloud account is optional for local blocking and required only for cloud-backed progress and community features.

BUILT FOR
