## What is KindFocus?

KindFocus is a calm way to put your phone down.

Most screen time apps treat you like a problem to fix. KindFocus is kinder. You decide what to set aside and for how long, and it helps you keep your word, gently or firmly. Your choice.

SAY IT LIKE A SENTENCE
Every focus and rule reads like something you'd say out loud:
"Set aside Social Media, except Maps, for 45 min, with one pause after a wait."
Tap a blank, choose what fits, read it back. No settings maze.

FOCUS FOR NOW
Start a focus from the center of the app whenever you need it. Save the ones you use often as setups, and start them with one tap from your Home Screen or Lock Screen widget.

RULES FOR EVERY DAY
• On a schedule: set apps aside on weekdays from 9 to 5
• Daily allowance: 30 minutes a day, then they're set aside until tomorrow
• Limited visits: let me in twice a day, for 10 minutes each

PAUSES THAT MAKE YOU THINK
Need something? Ask for a pause right from the screen that appears in a set-aside app. Before it opens, take a breath with a short wait that grows a little each time, or write a few words about what the pause is for. Often that's enough to change your mind.

STEADFAST WHEN YOU MEAN IT
Make a focus steadfast and it can't be ended early. It finishes on its own when the time is up. Steadfast rules can't be turned off while they run.

EXCEPTIONS
Keep the apps you need within reach, like calls, maps or music, while everything else is set aside.

A QUIET LOOK BACK
Activity shows your week as a reflection, not a scoreboard: time in focus, the moments you chose calm, and what your pauses were for. No streaks. No guilt.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Free, with no ads and no account
• Nothing you do leaves your phone
• Built on Apple's Screen Time. Apple keeps the apps you choose private, even from KindFocus.

Made by one person who struggles with his phone too. If KindFocus helps, you can support it from Settings, whenever you like.
