## What is Focal?

You already know what pulls you away from your phone. Focal is what finally stops it.

Start a lock-in session and your phone gets out of your way. The apps that usually win, don't get the chance. You're just left with the work, and the people who'll notice if you actually did it.

STOP NEGOTIATING WITH YOUR PHONE
No more promising yourself you won't check it. When you lock in, distraction isn't an option anymore. You show up, you stay, you finish.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE SEEN LOCKING IN
Working alone is easy to quit on. Working in front of people who'll notice isn't. Add your real friends, share your sessions when you want to, and let them see you show up. React, comment, and climb the weekly board together. Or keep it just for you. Your call, every time.

PROGRESS YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST
No padded streaks. No pretending a thirty second scroll was a work session. Focal only counts the real thing, so when you look back at your week, your month, your year, you're looking at the truth. That's worth more than any highlight reel.

FINISH, THEN REFLECT
Every lock-in ends with a moment to actually notice what you got done. Not just a timer running out. A record that you showed up and did the thing.

WHAT'S NEXT
Focal Link is coming: a physical companion built to keep your phone out of reach entirely. Raise your hand inside the app if you want in early.

ONE PAYMENT. NO GUILT TAX.
Try Focal free for 10 days. Love it, and it's yours forever for a single payment. No subscription, no monthly reminder nagging you to be productive. Just the work, and the version of you that finishes it.

Focal is for students, founders, creators, and anyone tired of losing to their phone.

Focal helps you protect focused time. It is not a medical or mental health service.
