Your phone isn't the problem. A handful of apps are. Focusora blocks exactly those โ€” for a focus session right now, or automatically on a schedule. Everything else keeps working. BLOCK WHAT ACTUALLY DISTRACTS YOU โ€ข Group the apps that eat your evenings: social media, games, news โ€” your list, your rules โ€ข One tap starts a timer; the group stays blocked until the session ends โ€ข Schedules handle the routine: deep-work mornings, phone-free dinners, screenless nights โ€ข Strict mode, for days when Future You shouldn't negotiate with Present You A BREATH INSTEAD OF A WALL Tap a blocked app and Focusora doesn't just say no. It offers a mindful pause: one slow breath first, then โ€” if you still need it โ€” a short window in. Most of the time, the breath is enough. SEE WHAT YOU GET BACK โ€ข The time calculator turns blocked minutes into meaning: hours per year, books read, movies watched, workouts done โ€ข Every Monday, your Weekly Recap: time reclaimed, best day, how it compares to last week โ€” with a card worth sharing โ€ข Goals, streaks and achievements keep the score WHEN THE URGE HITS The idea jar suggests something to do instead of the phone: a walk, a call, a page of a book. Seeded from your own goals, fully editable. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Focusora is built on Apple's Screen Time te on your device. Here's the part most appscan't say: Focusora technically cannot know which apps you picked โ€” Apple hands it anonymous tokens, and even the app names on screen are drawn by the system, not by us. โ€ข No account, no sign-up โ€ข No ads, no tracking, no analytics โ€ข Nothing ever leaves your iPhone YOU STAY IN CONTROL Every block you create, you can remove. RevSettings at any time โ€” all blocks lift instantly. THE DETAILS โ€ข Works fully offline โ€ข English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian โ€ข Requires iOS 16 or later. On first launchTime permission โ€” the only way an app canblock other apps on iOS.
