What's New in FocusGate

1.3

June 7, 2026

FocusGate is now much easier to start using. This update focuses on reducing friction, simplifying the first-run experience, and giving users more flexibility in how they access the app. What’s new: • No account required You no longer need to create an account before using FocusGate. Open the app, set up your gates, and start building better app-use habits right away. • Lifetime access support FocusGate now supports lifetime access as well as subscriptions. This gives users more flexibility while keeping the same core app experience. • Improved onboarding The setup flow has been rebuilt to be clearer, faster, and easier to understand. FocusGate now does a better job explaining what gates are, how app checks work, and how to create your first setup. • Fewer steps before value The app now gets you to the core experience faster. The goal is simple: spend less time configuring and more time using FocusGate to interrupt automatic scrolling, pause before distracting apps, and finish what matters. • Better first-use experience New users should have a smoother path from opening the app to creating their first FocusGate. This version removes unnecessary friction and makes the app feel lighter from the start. FocusGate is still built around the same core idea: before you fall back into an app on autopilot, FocusGate gives you a short moment to breathe, check in, finish a task, or continue with intention.

User reviews

Saves me from myself

It’s a strong tool. Usually all I need when stuck in the doom scroll is a little push. May my sleep be saved.

Easy set up, keeps me from losing hours

Before, I would just scroll and then look up and realize I just lost hours. FG is exactly what I needed. I pops up and just pulls me back to reality. It isn’t aggressive or anything, just enough of a nudge to make sure I don’t give all my time away!

Helps with little things

I haven’t forgotten my medicine since downloading the app
