Session broken. Stay committed until the timer ends, and you've earned your focus. WHY ANCHOR? • No willpower required — flip and forget • No apps to block, no settings to configure • Visual proof: red for broken, green for complete • Session history calendar to track your progress HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your focus duration (1-30 minutes free, up to 4 hours with Pro) 2. Place your phone face-down on any flat surface 3. The timer starts automatically when gravity detects the position 4. Stay focused. Your phone stays down. That's it. ANCHOR PRO (One-Time Purchase) • Unlock sessions up to 4 hours • Perfect for deep work, studying, or creative sessions • No subscription — pay once, own forever The simplest way to put your phone down and actually focus.
