Study without the scroll. Choose one task, start a focus session and give distracting apps a pause. Your focused time helps your railway station grow. The timer, app blocking and core progress are free; Pro is optional. — NEW IN 2.2 — A HOME YOU ARRANGE. Tiles you order yourself, so what you actually open sits where your thumb already goes. START WITH ONE SESSION. A shorter introduction puts your first session before optional reminders, app protection and cloud backup. ASK OUT LOUD. Start a run, make today gentle or open First Aid with Siri, from Shortcuts, or from a Control Centre button. WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES. One page: what sits on the device, what is backed up, and what never leaves. Built from what the app really does. A STATION THAT GROWS WITH YOU. Put focused time into your station, and explore railway puzzles in the arcade. — THE TURNSTILE — Blocking shouldn't feel like fighting your own phone. Open a blocked app and you meet a gate, not a wall: hold still a moment, or breathe a few cycles. It opens for a few minutes, then closes. You can always turn back. Strengthening a block happens at once; easing it off waits for a delay you set. Schedules, per-activity profiles, pass length and both free gate styles are free. Always. — ONE APP, FIVE WAYS TO GROW — • FOCUS. A calm Pomodoro-style timer with Live Activities and a Dynamic Island countdown. Sideways for a wider view. • TRAIN. Log workouts as you go — sets, reps, weight and rest — with trends, records and optional Apple Health sync. • BUILD. Small habits into routines, routines into rituals. Quit what you want gone; a slip is data, not failure. • BREATHE. Guided breathwork, meditations and grounding, plus a First Aid kit for when overwhelm shows up. • REST. Wind-downs, back-to-sleep sessions, mornings that start steady. — MADE FOR REAL DAYS — Easily distracted? The gate catches the reach before the hour vanishes. Studying, anxious, or quitting something? There is a door for each, and no lecture behind it. — WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT — • Consistency you can recover. Showing up is measured over two weeks, so a missed day nudges it instead of wiping it out. • It forgives out loud. One page lists every rule already protecting you, with your live numbers in it. • One world, not a pile of apps. Focus, fitness, habits, calm and sleep add up instead of scattering across five apps. • A coach that stays on your phone. ATLAS learns your best focus windows and nudges, never lectures. All on-device. • Privacy by default. Works offline. Backup optional. No ads. — FREE & PRO — Free forever: focus sessions, app blocking with schedules and profiles, the Turnstile, gentle days and time away, habits and detox, every breathwork protocol, the First Aid kit, the Desk, workout tracking, unlimited analytics history, missions and ranks, Live Activities, Apple Health sync and private Crew accountability. Pro adds depth — the custom template builder, journeys you chain yourself, premium rituals and journaling, the full audio and meditation libraries, in-workout coaching, body metrics, guided programs, multiple goals with pace projections, the Signal Box and Arithmetic gates, Commitment Lock, your weekly deep audit, premium themes and cloud backup. Make time. Build something. — SUBSCRIPTION TERMS — Focus Tycoon Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: US prices: $29.99/year, with a 14-day trial for eligible subscribers, or $4.99/month.
