Hardcore Focus vs Gaze

Less phone. More life. Hardcore Focus is an iPhone app blocker with Screen Time. Block the apps that steal your attention, do real deep work, and fill the time you get back with habits that stick. No to-do lists. No calendar. Three things: Shield, Focus, Habits. BLOCK THE NOISE Shield blocks your most distracting apps with Screen Time — on a schedule, during a focus session, or always on. You choose how hard it is to get back in: • No Bypass — locked is locked • 15-Minute Bypass — one short, deliberate exception DO DEEP WORK The Focus tab is a single button. Tap it and work for as long as you want — no countdown, just an open timer that runs until you’re done. Block distracting apps for the session, keep the screen awake, and watch your daily focus goal fill up. Pause and resume when you need to. BUILD HABITS THAT STICK Track daily habits and routines by time of day. Check them off, count reps, or run a timed habit. Some habits track themselves — link them to Apple Health or to time spent in apps you actually want to use. Keep the streak alive. ALSO • Apple Watch — start sessions and complete habits from your wrist • Siri & Shortcuts — “Start a focus session,” “Mark off my habit” • Widgets, Live Activities & Dynamic Island • Complete habits from the Lock Screen, Control Center, or a widget • On-device AI insights into your focus patterns • Apple Music focus playlists, inside the session • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zero data collection. Insights run on-device with Apple Intelligence — your data never leaves your phone, and anything you sync stays in your own iCloud. SUBSCRIPTION Hardcore Focus requires a subscription. Start with a 7-day free trial, then pick Weekly (3.99), Monthly (8.99), or Annual ($49.99 — best value). Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

Delete those cute little Pomodoro timers. They politely remind you. We execute you. Gaze is not a productivity app - it's a digital prison cell. The moment you hit Start, the countdown begins. Your only job on this device is absolute focus. Switch apps, reply to a text, even swipe down for notifications - instant FAIL. No exceptions. No excuses. No second chances.

Brutal Execution: Leave the app and a massive blood-red FAILED stamp slams the screen + heavy haptic blast. A real physical slap for your weakness. Deep Space Brainwash (Pro): Not birds or rain. This is a crushing, mechanical spaceship drone that drowns reality and welds your brain to the desk. Desk Monitor Mode: Native iPad full-screen optimized. Turn your idle tablet into an intimidating cyberpunk surveillance toy. Built for: Chronic procrastinators, exam warriors, ADHD minds, and dark aesthetic addicts. Pricing: Zero subscription BS. One-time purchase. Lifetime unlock of all premium dark wardens and intense isolation tracks. Think your focus is unbreakable? Prove it.
