Focus Tower vs Locus

Most focus timers hand you a number at the end of the week. This one hands you a city. Set the timer and put the phone down. Every finished session lays another floor on your tower. Put a roof on it and the whole tower moves into a city you build — where it stands for good and pays you rent every day. BUILT ON THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE Work in one focused block, rest, repeat. Twenty-five minutes on, a short break, a longer one after four — the rhythm people have used since the 1980s, except here each block leaves a floor behind. BUILT FOR ATTENTION THAT WANDERS Starting is the hard part, so the app makes starting small: one block, 25 minutes, a reward you can see at the end of it. The shield takes the temptation off the table instead of asking you to out-argue it, and a session survives a locked screen — so a wobble costs you nothing. If you have ADHD, that is usually the combination that finally sticks. Focus comes from the rhythm, not from willpower.

Locus blocks the apps that break your focus — for real. Pick a focus mode, choose the apps and websites that distract you, and start. For the whole session they're actually closed. No nagging, no streaks, no detox score — just a calm shield between you and the scroll. Locus is built for people who are serious about focus: students and exam-takers who need to study, and professionals who do deep work. If you've ever said "I just want my phone to be quiet while I work," this is for you. WHY LOCUS IS DIFFERENT Most screen-time apps either show a gentle "take a breath" screen you tap past in seconds, or block so loosely you bypass them in one move. Locus removes the decision entirely. Once a session starts, the block is real. FOCUS MODES • Timed session — set a duration, block your distracting apps, and focus until time's up. • Pomodoro — work and break cycles (25/5 or your own). Apps stay blocked while you work and open on breaks. • Scheduled focus — recurring weekly blocks for study hours, work hours, or exam week. Focus turns on automatically. STRICT MODE Make quitting harder. Ending a session early takes a deliberate confirmation step, so a moment of weakness doesn't cost you your focus. CALM, NOT JUDGMENTAL A simple summary shows your total focus time and completed sessions. No guilt-tripping analytics and no gamified badges — just quiet feedback that respects your attention. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Locus works offline and needs no account. Your app selection stays on your device. Blocking is built on Apple Screen Time (Family Controls), so it's enforced by iOS itself. Truly focus. Start your first session today. Note: Locus uses Apple's Screen Time permission to block apps and websites. It does not collect or share your usage data.
