NoEscape Focus is a minimal but strict focus app. Set a focus duration and enter full-screen progress mode. If you lock your phone, switch apps, or send the app to the background, the session immediately fails and must be restarted. No to-do lists. No productivity tricks. Just one rule: Leave, and you fail. Built for people who want real focus without distractions.
