Tired of timers that feel like homework? FocusAir turns focus time into a flight game. Pick a destination, board, and lock in — while you study, write, code, or read, your plane crosses a real map from takeoff to landing. Land it, loot it, level up. BOOK A FLIGHT TO FOCUS Set your home airport, then pick where you're headed: a quick hop for homework, a long-haul for deep work. Search any airport on Earth and turn goals into missions — Rome for exam prep, Tokyo for a coding sprint. DISTRACTIONS? GROUNDED. Airplane Mode is free for everyone. Put social media, games, and doomscrolling on your no-fly list, and FocusAir blocks them with Apple's Screen Time controls until you land. Your session is protected, not just timed. LAND IT. LOOT IT. Every flight banks XP and a Focus Score, with live multipliers for clean, uninterrupted focus. Wheels down means loot: die-cut stickers to slap on your landing postcard, achievements for your collection, and progress toward your next rank. CLIMB TO SEAT 1A Rank up from Paper Plane through Window Seat, Frequent Flyer, and Jet Setter, to Seat 1A — then keep going: the ladder tops out at Sky Legend. Keep your streak alive, fill the daily fuel gauge, and watch your Flight Log become proof you actually did the thing. PICK YOUR RIDE Fly the trusty 737, or board the whole fleet with First Class: the 777, the double-decker A380, the supersonic Concorde, even Air Force One — each with its own livery, stats, and personality. TOUR THE WORLD Multi-stop tours chain your sessions into adventures. Hop across US cities or sprint through world capitals, and stamp every stop before the clock runs out. BUILT TO PROTECT YOUR STREAK Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep the countdown on your lock screen. Pause anytime — ending early is deliberate, never accidental. Home-screen widgets track your streak, rank, and next stop. FREE TO FLY Everyone gets 2 free flights a day plus full app blocking, no subscription needed. First Class unlocks unlimited flights and the whole fleet. Exams, essays, code, or that thing you keep putting off — give it a departure time. Phone down. Wings up.
