You've tried the Pomodoro apps. They tell you to focus for 25 minutes while TikTok is one tap away. That's not a timer problem. That's a phone problem. Focus Lock is different. When you start a session, distracting apps get LOCKED OUT. Instagram, TikTok, Twitter—whatever hijacks your attention. Blocked until you're done. No willpower required. Just locked. LOCK IN WITH ONE TAP • Start a Pomodoro session instantly • Distracting apps are automatically blocked • Apps unlock when your session ends • No more "just checking" spirals Built by someone with ADHD who was tired of losing hours to the phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your focus (you know which ones) 2. Tap to start a focus session 3. Those apps are LOCKED until you're done 4. Complete your session. Apps unlock. You win. That's it. Lock in. Block out. Focus. BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS • Flexible Durations - 25 or 45 minute presets, or go premium for 5-120 minutes. Hyperfocus needs 90 minutes? Scattered day needs 15? We don't judge. • Smart Tags - 8 built-in categories to track where focus goes. Premium users can create custom tags. • Streak System - Stay locked in day after day. Build consistency. Miss a day? No shame. Just lock back in. • Badge Progression - Novice to Bronze to Silver to Gold to Diamond. Real milestones for staying locked in. CELEBRATE WINS ADHD brains need dopamine. Focus Lock delivers: • Session celebrations when you complete a focus block • Streak rewards for consistency • Share your wins on social media • Badge unlocks as you progress TRACK YOUR PATTERNS • Today View - See daily focus time at a glance • Weekly Stats - Discover your patterns. Best days? Top categories? • iCloud Sync - Data follows you across Apple devices PREMIUM FEATURES Upgrade to unlock: • Custom durations (5-120 minutes) • Create your own tags • Hide built-in tags • Block unlimited apps • Support indie development Privacy Policy: http://sleepybytes.com/privacy-policy/ Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
