Focus no te encierra. Te enseña a aguantar el impulso. El impulso sube, hace pico y baja en 60-90 segundos. Casi nadie llega a la bajada. Focus está hecho para que llegues. **Sesiones con fricción real** Un bloque o un Pomodoro. Salir de la app se nota, rendirte cuesta (mantener pulsado, cada vez más), y si la tarea necesita otras apps lo declaras antes, no lo justificas después. Con el bloqueo de apps, las que elijas quedan tapadas mientras dura la sesión. **Tengo el impulso** Móvil, tabaco, azúcar, compras, o el impulso que tú escribas. Cuando pica, 60 segundos guiados desde la pantalla de bloqueo o el Botón de Acción, sin abrir nada. Cada impulso lleva su contador de días sin ceder y de veces aguantadas. **Sueño** El móvil fuera de la cama por la noche y sin móvil al despertar. Focus te avisa cuando toca y por la mañana te pregunta cómo fue. Racha de noches limpias. **Racha, niveles y reto de 7 días** Cada día limpio enciende la racha. Diez niveles, de Disperso a Lock in: el orbe de la home brilla con tu nivel. Widgets en la pantalla de inicio, cuenta atrás en la Isla Dinámica y tarjeta para compartir. **Privacidad de verdad** Sin cuenta, sin servidor, sin analítica. Todo se queda en tu iPhone. Impulsos con Face ID, y un modo discreto: agita el móvil y los impulsos pasan a llamarse «Hábito 17» para poder enseñar la app. **Progreso** Calendario del mes con tus días limpios y una nota por día. Gráfica semanal, minutos rescatados, historial. Gratis: una sesión al día, impulsos, progreso, widgets, privacidad. Focus Pro: sesiones sin límite, bloqueo real de apps, Sueño, todos los sonidos y hasta 5 sesiones fijas. Focus es para quien quiere hacer una cosa y no puede dejar de hacer otra. Hoy no hace falta ser mejor. Solo no ceder. Focus Pro es una suscripción con renovación automática: 4,99 € al mes o 29,99 € al año, con 14 días de prueba gratis. El pago se carga a tu cuenta de Apple al confirmar la compra o al terminar la prueba. Se renueva sola salvo que la canceles al menos 24 horas antes del final del periodo, desde los Ajustes de tu cuenta. Los precios pueden variar según el país.
