FocusBubble vs Focus

Staying focused is harder than ever. FocusBubble helps you reclaim your attention by temporarily blocking distracting apps so you can study, work, create, or simply enjoy life without constant interruptions. Choose the apps that steal your time, set a clear end time, and activate your focus session. There is no complicated setup, just immediate control over your digital environment. When your session ends, you receive a gentle notification that reinforces your progress. FocusBubble is built around intentional use. Instead of forcing restrictions, the app encourages conscious decisions. By limiting access to high distraction apps, you create space for deeper focus, clearer thinking, and healthier digital habits. The deadline based system removes countdown pressure and supports committed focus periods. With motivational prompts and simple progress tracking, you stay consistent and strengthen your self discipline over time. Sessions can be ended manually if needed, because flexibility matters in real life. FocusBubble was created from personal experience with digital distraction and is designed to support long term focus, clarity, and balance in a world full of noise.

Focus is the app blocker that keeps your word for you. Pick a task, set a duration, and hold to commit. From that second, your chosen apps are locked behind a shield — and there is no snooze, no "remind me in 15 minutes", no way around it. The only way out is through. WHY FOCUS WORKS WHEN WILLPOWER DOESN'T Every distracting app is built by teams whose whole job is to keep you scrolling. Focus levels the field: once you commit, the decision is out of your hands. Open a blocked app and the shield answers with your own words — "I committed to finish my thesis until 21:30." Not a system warning. Your promise, held up to you. STRICT SESSIONS • Choose a task, a duration, and hold to start — a deliberate gesture, not an accidental tap • Blocked apps stay blocked until time is up; the session cannot be cancelled • A live countdown on your Lock Screen keeps the goal in sight • One Emergency Pass per session: unlock a single app for five minutes, then the wall returns FOCUS ON A SCHEDULE • Recurring focus windows for work, study, or sleep — your mornings block themselves • Real alarms that ring from a locked phone, so a schedule is a commitment, not a suggestion • Each rule runs on Apple's Screen Time system, enforced by iOS itself SEE THE PAYOFF • Watch your screen time fall week by week, right next to your focus hours • Per-app insight: what an app cost you before Focus, and what it costs now • Streaks and lifetime stats that never judge, only count TIMER & ALARMS • A clean standalone timer with proper, full-volume alarms • Pick a classic ring or search a song you love as your alarm sound PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Blocking runs on Apple's Screen Time framework, and your activity never leaves your iPhone. We couldn't read it even if we wanted to, because iOS doesn't allow anyone to. The only thing we keep is anonymous usage statistics, never your content. WHO IT'S FOR Students who lose evenings to their phone. Writers, developers, and makers guarding deep work. Anyone who has deleted an app on Sunday and reinstalled it on Monday. Your time is the only thing you truly spend. Focus makes sure it goes where you promised.
