## What is Free Brain?

Your phone should be a tool, not a reflex.

Free Brain helps you step out of automatic scrolling by adding a small, deliberate pause between impulse and action. Choose the apps and websites that pull you away, then hold to lock them when it is time to focus. When you want to unlock, hold again.

That friction is the feature. A tap is easy to do without thinking. A hold gives you a moment to remember what you meant to do.

FOCUS ON YOUR TERMS

Free Brain is built for individual self-control. You choose what to block on your own device, when to block it, and how much friction you want. It is not a tool for monitoring or controlling another person.

CREATE MODES FOR REAL LIFE

Different moments need different boundaries. Make named Modes for work, study, sleep, reading, mindfulness, or anything else. Each Mode can contain the apps, app categories, and websites you choose.

Choose between blocking selected distractions or allowing only the selections you need. Change a Mode whenever your routine changes.

HOLD TO LOCK. HOLD TO UNLOCK.

Start a focus session with one simple ritual: press and hold. Set separate lock and unlock hold durations from 1 to 60 seconds. Keep it short when you only need a gentle pause, or make it longer when you want a stronger commitment.

The same honest rule applies on the way out. Free Brain does not pretend that an app can make decisions for you. It creates enough space for you to make the decision consciously.

SCHEDULE THE FOCUS YOU WANT TO KEEP

Turn useful intentions into a repeatable rhythm with recurring Schedules. Pair a schedule with any Mode, choose the days and start time, then set an end time or keep the Mode active until you deliberately unlock it.

Use a Work Mode on weekday mornings, a Wind Down Mode at night, or a Study Mode for the days you want uninterrupted time.

SEE THE TIME YOU PROTECTED

Activity turns completed lock sessions into a clear view of your progress. Review weekly, monthly, and lifetime locked-time stats, see daily patterns, and notice the routines that are helping you protect your attention.

Your Activity history stays on your device.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Free Brain uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks to apply shields to the apps and websites you select. Screen Time access is requested by you and used for your own device. Your selected apps, Modes, Schedules, and Activity history are stored locally; Free Brain does not receive a readable list of the apps you choose.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED

Start using Free Brain without creating an account or signing in. Your focus setup belongs to you and stays with the app on your device.

FREE BRAIN PRO

Free Brain offers weekly, monthly, and annual subscription options, plus a one-time lifetime purchase. Available trials, localized prices, renewal details, and included Pro features are shown on the purchase screen before you confirm. Payment is handled through your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and can be managed in your Apple Account settings.

Free Brain is a self-management and productivity tool. It is not medical care, treatment, or a substitute for professional advice.

Make your phone a tool again. Choose what matters, hold to begin, and give your attention somewhere better to go.
