Hesya is a calm companion for focus — not a blocker, not a tracker, not a streak app. You name what deserves your attention, work for a while, and Hesya quietly notices if you drift — offering a gentle way back, never a lecture. When a session ends, you have a moment to reflect. That's it. How it works • Set an intent for a focus session — in your own words. • Work. Hesya stays out of the way. • If your attention wanders, a soft cue returns your own words to you. Stay with it, take a short breath, or carry on. • When you finish, mark how it went — a mood and a note if you want one. Never a score. What Hesya will never do • No streaks, badges, or points. • No usage dashboards or guilt. • No urgency, no nagging. Silence is a valid outcome. Private by design Your intentions, notes, and reflections stay on your device. Hesya uses Screen Time only to notice when an app you've chosen crosses a time threshold during a session you started — that signal never leaves your device. There are no accounts and no ads. Made to be needed less.
