## What is Orbital Focus?

Your attention is the most powerful engine you own. Orbital Focus turns every focus session into a rocket launch — pick a destination, strap in, and the only way to arrive is to stay on task.

The longer you focus, the higher you fly. A 15-minute warm-up is a suborbital hop. 25 minutes is one clean orbit of Earth. A focused hour parks you in geostationary orbit, 35,786 km up. Push past 90 minutes and you leave Earth orbit entirely. Every minute is real thrust.

HOW A MISSION WORKS
• Pick a destination — a 15-minute Suborbital Hop, 25-minute Low Earth Orbit, a 45-minute rendezvous with Station Aurora, a full hour in High Earth Orbit, or a 90-minute Deep Space run to lunar distance. Each is a fixed block of focus.
• Name your payload (the thing you're actually doing) and choose a crew role — Work, Study, Read, Create, Code, Write, Train, Plan, Chores, or Relax.
• Feel the countdown. A cinematic haptic launch ritual — ignition rumble, Max-Q, stage separation — marks the real milestones of your session.
• Fly a living 3D Earth. Watch your spacecraft climb its true trajectory over a hand-rendered planet with daylight, city lights, and every flight you've ever flown.
• Coast phases = built-in breaks. Long missions split into burn segments with short coasts between them — pomodoro, in orbital mechanics. Fully configurable, or fly one unbroken burn.

THE HANGAR
Every focused minute earns Δv. Spend it across a fleet of real rockets — from the workhorse Falcon 9 to the mighty Falcon Heavy — and upgrade engines, tanks, and avionics. Launch from seven real-world pads: Cape Canaveral, Vandenberg, Baikonur, Kourou, Tanegashima, Wenchang, and Starbase. Premium also unlocks an exotic collection of legendary sci-fi capital ships, for pilots who want to fly something out of a movie.

A LOYALTY PROGRAM FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Climb six ranks, Cadet to Mission Commander, by logging real focus time. Ranks unlock new destinations and craft. Your lifetime distance is measured in light-seconds — and it only ever goes up.

LAUNCH LOCKDOWN
Optional app blocking powered by Apple's Screen Time. While a mission is in flight, your chosen distracting apps are shielded. Leave early and you don't crash — re-entries and pad scrubs still bank partial credit. Orbital Focus never punishes you for being human.

THE CUPOLA
Look out the window. Stream real satellite imagery of the world passing beneath your spacecraft — a live view from orbit, in flight.

FOCUS MUSIC
Download ambient flight-deck soundscapes on demand and cache them for offline sessions. Deep Space pilots can also pick a station skin — five orbital outposts to fly past.

MISSION REPLAYS
Scrub through recreated historic launches — Sputnik 1, Vostok 1, Crew Dragon Demo-2, the Space Shuttle and more — and watch them fly out on the same living globe.

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK
Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. An Apple Watch companion that flies on your wrist. Home Screen and Control Center widgets. Share your mission to a TV or the big screen.

STREAKS, ACHIEVEMENTS, LOGBOOK
Daily launch streaks, 16 achievements, and a full flight logbook with charts of where your hours actually go.

ORBITAL FOCUS PREMIUM (optional)
The core app is free, forever. Premium adds the live Cupola view, Advanced Insights and your full Flight Log, exclusive craft and destinations, and alternate app icons. Subscribe monthly or yearly, or unlock it once for life. Your focus minutes always bank — free or Premium.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads in the app. We never sell your data. Every mission record lives on your device, and Screen Time data never leaves your phone.

Built for students, makers, writers, engineers, and anyone with ADHD-adjacent attention who needs the session to feel like it matters.

Wheels stop. Mission complete. Fly again tomorrow.

*2026-07-07*

This is the most fun focus app I’ve ever used! It’s actually really beautiful (love the widget!) and I can treat my focus time like a “mission” which feels like more of a vibe for me than some of the other options. Totally recommend!

### 5/5 — SpaceX livestream and KSP made an app.

Didn’t know I wanted this until it existed. It’s fun to use and that makes me want to do focus work more.
