MODO is your physical key for digital focus. Tap your MODO card to your iPhone and every app that drags you out of flow is instantly locked – Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, whatever your weak spot is. When you’re truly done, tap again and everything’s back. No passwords you set for yourself. No timers you swipe away. Just you, your card, and real focus. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps and websites you want blocked • Build your modes: Deep Work, Study, Evening, Workout • Tap your MODO card to your iPhone – locked • Tap again – unlocked WHY MODO • Physical friction beats willpower • Powered by Apple Screen Time – stable and native • Schedules for recurring focus blocks • Emergency codes for real exceptions (limited on purpose – friction is the point) • Weekly stats so you see the time you got back WHO IT'S FOR Students, knowledge workers, creators, parents – anyone tired of the endless scroll who wants their attention back. YOUR DATA Everything stays on your device. No tracking, no cloud login, no ads. Note: MODO requires a MODO NFC card (sold separately), iOS 17, and an iPhone with NFC. What's New (1.0) Hello world. This is MODO 1.0 – your first real focus key. We’d love your feedback.
