Fokusd vs FORCED

You unlock your phone 80+ times a day. Most of those aren't choices they're reflexes. Fokusd uses AR technology to add one small moment of friction between you and your most distracting apps. Instead of mindlessly opening social media, you'll scan a real, physical photo first. That 5-second pause is enough to break the autopilot and let you make a real choice. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a photo that matches something physical you have a poster on your wall, a picture on your fridge, a framed photo on your desk 2. Select which apps you want to restrict 3. When you try to open a restricted app, scan your photo in the real world 4. That moment of getting up and deliberately scanning gives your brain time to ask: "Do I actually want this?" WHY THIS WORKS Phone addiction isn't about willpower it's about environment design. Apps like Instagram and TikTok are engineered to be frictionless. Fokusd adds friction back. When opening an app requires walking to your fridge, you'll naturally check it less without forcing yourself. NO HARDWARE REQUIRED Unlike apps that need expensive special hardware, Fokusd works with what you already have. Any printed photo, poster, or image works. Your phone's camera and AR capabilities do the rest. 100% FREE No subscriptions. No ads. No data collection. Fokusd was built as a tool that should exist, not as a business.

Stop saying you'll do it. Be FORCED to. Pick what you keep putting off: the gym, waking up on time, studying, getting off your phone, anything. Pick when. Pick what you lose if you don't. Then prove it. HOW IT WORKS • Spin the wheel or write your own: the gym, wake up on time, study for an hour, read, post the video. • Set the time it's due. It repeats every day, or pick just once. • Prove it with a photo. The Judge checks it. No proof, no credit. • Keep your word and get a receipt. Miss it and it costs you. • Nothing set today? FORCED suggests three things to lock in. BUILT FOR THE GYM • Pick your gym days, or add one session just this once. • Pick your workout for each day: push, pull, legs, cardio, or write your own. • The Coach lights up the muscles you're hitting. • Check in with a photo, or save your gym and get checked in automatically when you walk in. • Rest days are rest days. Your streak counts sessions, not calendar days. WHAT YOU PUT ON THE LINE • Money: any whole dollar from $1 to $100, charged only if you miss. It goes to carbon removal through Stripe Climate. FORCED keeps none of it. • Did it but missed the proof? Appeal in Charges and disputes with a photo and a note. A person checks it, and nothing charges while they do. • A partner: someone you name hears about it when you miss, once they agree to it. • Your apps: Screen Time locks the apps you pick until you check in at the gym, or after a miss. • Or just your word. A miss still breaks your streak and costs you rank. • Set it up after you start, and change any of it later in Profile. YOUR AI, TOO • Connect your own AI assistant in Profile. It can see your day and add commitments when you ask it to. • Anything with money still needs your tap in FORCED. Proof is always a photo in the app. YOUR RECORD • A streak of sessions you actually showed up for. • Ranks from Bronze to FORCED that only move on proof. • A monthly leaderboard. • A receipt for every commitment you kept and every one you missed. FORCED PRO FORCED Pro is the subscription that runs the app. Plans and prices are shown before you buy. Cancel any time in your Apple Account. MONEY IS OPTIONAL FORCED works without a card. Money is off unless you turn it on, and it needs a saved card and a signed agreement. A charge happens only after a clear miss, the money goes to carbon removal, not FORCED, and you can dispute any charge in the app. There are no prizes, random outcomes, or winnings. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Permissions are asked only when you use the feature. Location is used only to check you in at the gym you saved. Three breaks a month cover sick days and emergencies. Account deletion is in the app. Terms: https://useforced.com/terms Privacy: https://useforced.com/privacy
