FEATURES • Lock apps, websites and whole categories at once • Start a focus session in one tap (15, 25, 45 minutes and more) • Solve math to unlock, so reflex-opening an app becomes a conscious choice • Four difficulty levels for the unlock challenge • Focus time and streaks in clean charts • Strict mode for when you really mean it Exam season, essays, deep work.
