An App for Those Who Want to Spend Less Time on Their Phones. Every feature of the app is designed, tested, and used daily by people who need to focus and set their phones aside. You can set up automatic blocking of distracting apps while you work on important tasks. While these apps are blocked, you won’t receive notifications from them, and you won’t be able to open them until the time you set has elapsed. This will allow you to concentrate fully and avoid distractions from things that aren’t currently important. Limits will help you restrict the time you spend on various apps each day. You can choose which apps to limit, how much time you want to spend on them, and the days of the week that the restrictions will apply. Once the allotted time has expired, the apps will remain blocked until the end of the day. Deep Focus is a manual app-blocking feature. You select the apps and the duration of the blocking. After that, the apps will be unavailable until the chosen time is up.

Katenski.ink Challenge turns goals into daily action. Start with challenges built for artists and creators, or build your own challenge around anything you want to achieve. You don’t need another endless list of things you should be doing. You need something clear to do today. Choose a challenge. Complete your daily goals. Finish the day. Come back tomorrow. BUILT BY AN ARTIST, BUILT TO BE YOURS I’m Katenski.ink, a tattoo artist and working visual artist. I built this app around a system I use myself: stop waiting for motivation, give yourself something clear to do today, and keep showing up. The core challenges grew from that system. And if my goals aren’t your goals, Custom Challenge lets you make the system yours. BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY The core challenges come from the things I keep coming back to in my own work: Draw. Finish work. Build your portfolio. Show up on social media. Support other artists. Stay connected to your community. None of this is a secret. The hard part is doing it consistently. That’s what the challenge is for. Open the app. See what needs to be done today. Do it. Come back tomorrow. CHOOSE HOW FAR YOU WANT TO GO Start with the 28 Day Challenge. Take on the 77 Day Hardcore. Push further with the 14 Day Intensive or 7 Day Elite. The daily foundation stays familiar. What changes is the challenge ahead of you — and what waits at the finish. MISSED A DAY? DON’T QUIT. Life happens. A missed day doesn’t always have to erase everything you’ve already done. Depending on your challenge, recovery options can help you get back in and keep moving. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about not letting one bad day become the reason you stop. WATCH SMALL ACTIONS BECOME SOMETHING BIGGER Your progress isn’t just a number. As you complete milestones, original artwork is revealed piece by piece. What starts as another completed day gradually becomes something you can actually see. MAKE IT YOURS Maybe your goal has nothing to do with art. Build a Custom Challenge around a new skill, fitness, studying, a personal project, a routine, or something completely your own. Choose your duration. Set your allowed missed days. Write your daily goals. Change them when your life changes. Your challenge. Your goals. Your rules. PERSONAL HABITS, YOUR WAY Your Personal Habits are separate from your challenge. Add the smaller things you want to keep doing and change them whenever you need to, even while a challenge is running. Your challenge keeps its structure. Your personal routine stays flexible. HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR IT Complete challenges and unlock rewards. Depending on the challenge, these may include a completion certificate, Hall of Fame recognition, an interview, or an exclusive physical prize. But the bigger idea is simple. You don’t have to become someone else. Pick something that matters to you. Show up for it today. Then do it again tomorrow. Don’t just track progress. Have something to show for it.
