## What is focuswrk?

focuswrk turns "I'll focus later" into a session that actually happens.

Set a Deep Work Session, and your phone becomes a distraction-free zone: your chosen apps and sites lock behind Screen Time, a live countdown takes over your screen, and — if you wear AirPods — focuswrk gently tells you when your posture is slipping, without ever needing your camera.

DEEP WORK SESSIONS
• Pick a duration and a task, then let the timer take over.
• A calm, full-screen countdown keeps you anchored to the one thing you're doing.
• Pause and resume without losing your place — timing is exact, even if your phone sleeps.
• Live Activity and Dynamic Island support, so your countdown is visible on your Lock Screen too.

DISTRACTION BLOCKING
• Choose which apps and websites go dark for the length of your session, powered by Apple's Screen Time.
• No willpower required — once a session starts, blocked apps stay blocked until it ends.

POSTURE COACHING (AirPods)
• Using motion data from your AirPods, focuswrk quietly senses when you're slouching.
• Gentle haptic and sound nudges bring your attention back to your posture — no camera, no wearable required.
• A daily posture score shows how you're trending over time.

YOUR JOURNEY
• Track completed sessions, focus minutes, and streaks.
• See your posture and focus trends together, so you notice what's actually working.

DESKTOP COMPANION (Chrome extension)
• Pair focuswrk with our free Chrome extension by scanning a QR code — no account needed.
• Starting a session on your phone instantly blocks the same distracting sites on your computer.
• A live countdown badge sits right in your browser toolbar, synced to the second.
• Posture nudges from your phone show up as quiet browser notifications too.

PREMIUM (optional auto-renewing subscription)
• focuswrk is free to use, with limited session length and daily posture alerts included at no cost.
• An optional Premium subscription, purchased in-app, unlocks unlimited session lengths and unlimited posture alerts.
• Premium also unlocks full desktop blocking with the Chrome companion extension.
• Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings on your device.
• Support the continued development of focuswrk.

focuswrk isn't another timer app. It's a quiet system that makes deep, uninterrupted work the default — on your phone and on your computer.
