Don't let your phone distract you anymore. Simply open Focus and start a round. You have to keep Focus in foreground, otherwise the round will quit automatically and you do not get any points. This means that you can not leave the app or open the Notification Center so you can concentrate on your actual tasks. Reward yourself with points and trophies! The longer a round goes, the more points you get for it. Support: focus@wrave.de

Read full description

What is habit stacking? Habit stacking is a proven productivity technique that pairs a new, desired behavior with an existing, automatic daily routine. By using an established habit as a natural trigger, you bypass the need for relying on willpower, making it significantly easier to build consistent routines. After I pour my morning coffee, I will write down my top priority for the day. The coffee is the trigger; the new habit stacks right on top. How the app works? 1. Add a habit and the date you started it. 2. Keep your streak — the app tracks how many days you've kept each habit. 3. Watch habits level up as streaks pass 1, 21, and 365 days.
