## What is Pico Focus?

Pico is your focus companion to stay locked in.

Pick the apps that derail you, choose how long, and tap Lock in. Pico blocks them across your iPhone and Mac until your time is up. 

LOCK IN ACROSS IPHONE AND MAC
- Block the same apps on both devices with one tap.
- Start a session on your phone and your Mac locks in too.
- Distractions are gone everywhere you work, not just on one screen. (Cross-device sync uses the Pico Mac app.)

HARD-LOCK FOCUS SESSIONS
- Set the blocklist once. Choose a length, from 15 minutes to 8 hours.
- Blocked apps hit a full-screen Pico shield.
- Need out early? You face a 30-second breathing pause first

SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES
- A feed of insights pulled from your real usage: peak distraction hour, pickup cadence ("every 11 minutes"), top apps, today vs yesterday.
- Watch your numbers trend down as the focus sessions add up.
- Pair Pico with your Mac for a daily AI summary of where your attention actually went across both devices.

A FOCUS APP WITH A PULSE
Pico is the little orange character who locks in alongside you. The block screen meets you with a quote instead of a cold wall. Focus should feel like something you want to come back to, not a punishment.
