## What is FocusBoss?

FocusBoss blocks the apps that derail your workday - and puts a witty AI boss between you and every "just a quick break".

Set your work hours. When you clock on, distracting apps lock. Want a break? Justify it to the boss. A real emergency walks straight through - but "just checking Instagram" when you're out of break tickets does not.

WHY IT WORKS
- Scheduled shifts: distractions block automatically during your work hours, every day. No willpower required.
- The AI boss: every break is judged on device - witty, in your language, and impossible to sweet-talk once your tickets run out.
- Break tickets and focus debt: a daily budget keeps you honest. Go over, and you owe the focus time back.
- Strict mode: once your break tickets are spent, the shield holds until the shift ends - a real emergency is the only way through.
- Punch clock: hold the block until you clock out - like badging out of a factory.
- Your week, measured: hours in focus, a clean-shift streak, and exactly what distractions cost you.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Blocking runs on Apple Screen Time. Everything stays on your iPhone - no servers, no account, nothing ever leaves your device.

All features are included. No subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Visual improvements and more languages.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-01

Your boss just got a personality upgrade. The Foreman, the Director and the Sergeant now each rule your breaks in their own sharper, wittier voice — and no two verdicts sound quite the same.

We also made setting your hourly rate cleaner, and polished performance across the app.
