## What is WeFocus?

Your phone should be a tool—not a trap.

WeFocus helps you block distracting apps and websites, control screen time, and protect deep-focus time with limits that actually hold. Start a focus session, schedule quiet hours, set daily app limits, and choose how firmly you want to commit.

Built for the moment willpower runs out.

WHY WEFOCUS

Most app blockers are easy to ignore when the urge hits. WeFocus lets you choose the right level of friction before you begin—from a gentle reminder to a fully locked session that stays active until it ends.

No guilt. No noisy productivity theater. Just calm, clear boundaries you set for yourself.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• BLOCK APPS & WEBSITES
Choose distracting apps, categories, and websites. Start blocking in seconds.

• START FOCUS SESSIONS
Pick what to block, choose a duration, and lock in. Live Activities and Dynamic Island keep the countdown visible without pulling you back into the app.

• SET DAILY SCREEN TIME LIMITS
Give Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, or any category a daily budget. When time runs out, WeFocus closes the door and resets the next day.

• SCHEDULE QUIET HOURS
Protect work, study, bedtime, mornings, or family time with recurring schedules that run automatically.

• CHOOSE YOUR COMMITMENT
Use the level that fits the moment—from flexible sessions to strict protection, passcode friction, Discipline Mode, and Always Block.

• PAUSE BEFORE QUITTING
Exit challenges add intentional friction when you try to end early. Reflect, breathe, type, solve a challenge, or wait for the urge to pass.

• CONTROL BYPASSES
Set a daily bypass budget and see exactly what remains. Discipline Mode can lock that budget for the term you choose.

• SEE YOUR PROGRESS
Understand screen time, focus hours, streaks, daily goals, and the apps that take the most attention.

• STAY FOCUSED EVERYWHERE
Use Home Screen widgets, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island to start or follow a session at a glance.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your selected apps, schedules, limits, and usage stay on your device. WeFocus uses Apple’s Screen Time and Family Controls frameworks for system-level blocking.

MADE FOR

### 5/5 — This app is fantastic, and the developer is even better!

*2026-05-13*

I discovered this app through a Reddit post by the developer. I was hooked after just three days of use! It became the easiest $20 I’ve ever spent. After purchasing it, I noticed a small improvement that could be made. I quickly reached out to the developer, and he addressed my concerns in no time!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review, I really appreciate it. 🙌

### 4/5 — Actually making a difference

*2025-12-18*

I set an automation for this app to open right after my alarm goes off, so first thing in the morning I block socials. This, along with some automation I set for black and white color filters, has completely changed the way I use my phone. For now setting one hour timers is effective- the small win of successfully having my first hour of the day off socials is great. I may buy the full version for more, but we’ll see how often I want to set it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review.
