Your phone stole another evening? Take the controls back. Astro Focus turns every focus session into a space mission. Start a session and your ship takes off: as long as you stay off your screen, it crosses the void, lands on an unknown planet and comes back loaded with Neuronium. Pick up your phone and it drifts. It is the only app that genuinely rewards you for leaving your screen alone. A MISSION, NOT A TIMER Free sessions from 5 to 120 minutes: you pick the length, with no forced cycles. The countdown survives backgrounding — you can't cheat it, and you can't lose a session by accident. Leave mid-flight and your ship takes damage: it drifts off course, the hull takes hits, and your odds of a rare discovery collapse. Every landing ends with a full mission report: distance travelled, planet reached, Neuronium collected, bonuses applied. 150 PLANETS TO DISCOVER No session ends empty — you always land somewhere. The universe is mapped into 5 concentric sectors: Proximity, Frontier, Expanse, Abyss, Periphery. The longer you hold and the stronger your engine, the further you travel, and the stranger the worlds get. • Terrestrial, Gaseous, Crystalline… and Singularities, the legendary worlds born around black holes. • Every discovery is logged in your Codex with its own field journal: composition, atmosphere, mass, temperature, moons, encounters. • 150 named planets to hunt down, one session at a time. A SHIP THAT BECOMES YOURS The Neuronium you bring home funds your hangar. • Engine — your speed in light-years per minute. Further, faster. • Collector — drones that pull in Neuronium as you fly past. • Sensors — spot the rare worlds before you land. • Shield — protects your streak when life gets in the way. • Igniter — supercharges your first mission of the day. Three ships to choose from — Voyager, Miner, Hunter — each with its own specialty, and a silhouette that visibly transforms with every upgrade. CONSISTENCY PAYS One session a day keeps your streak alive: up to +50% Neuronium from 7 consecutive days on. Missed a day? A shield takes the hit for you, and life goes on. There are also 25 badge families waiting, 5 of them legendary. AN APP THAT DOESN'T SHOUT AT YOU No ads. No feed. No guilt-trip notifications. A dark, geometric universe, drawn from scratch, built to look good for two seconds and be forgotten for two hours. Astro Focus is designed to be looked at as little as possible. Built for students grinding through exams, freelancers with a deadline, remote workers who want one real hour of deep work, and anyone who has lost an evening to scrolling without knowing how. ASTRO FOCUS PREMIUM On the free plan your cargo hold has a daily capacity: once it's full, Neuronium stops coming in until tomorrow. Premium unlocks an unlimited hold — you keep everything you earn, every single day, no cap. Monthly or yearly subscription, renewing automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it from your App Store account settings. Put your phone down. Your ship is waiting.
