SitFocus is a Pomodoro focus timer with a built-in posture coach. While you work, your camera quietly checks whether you're slouching — and nudges you before your back complains. **Private by design** - All posture detection runs on your device using Apple's Vision framework - Camera frames are analyzed in memory and instantly discarded — never recorded, never stored, never uploaded - No video, no photos, no biometric data ever leaves your device - Only your anonymous posture score (a percentage) is saved to your account **A coach, not an alarm** - Bad posture tints your timer ring the moment it's detected - Only after a few seconds of actually staying slouched do you get a sound and a reminder — leaning over to reach for your coffee never sets it off - Set the warning interval yourself, or turn the sound and notification off entirely for visual-only coaching - Calibrate once — 10 seconds of sitting well — and alerts adapt to *your* body, desk, and camera angle **Everything you need to focus** - Pomodoro sessions with breaks, presets, and Live Activities - Tasks with subtasks, recurring tasks, and widgets - Statistics: focus time, session counts, and your 30-day posture trend - Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Your posture data is a single number. Your camera footage is nobody's business — including ours.

You don't have a willpower problem. You have an off-switch problem. Every blocker puts its escape hatch where the temptation is. Eclipta asks you first: switch on Strict mode and the block holds until you meditate. "Ignore Limit." "15 more minutes." A switch buried three menus deep. Every app that promised to guard your attention also shipped the button that hands it back. In Strict mode, Eclipta ships no such button. You train your attention, then you unlock. That is the entire mechanism. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that own you: social, news, games, anything you open on reflex. 2. Choose how they're held: a scheduled window, a daily allowance that runs out, or time you earn by meditating. 3. Open Eclipta and meditate. The apps open when you've done the work. FOUR KINDS OF BLOCK • Scheduled block: a window you set. It can run overnight, end at a fixed time, or stay shut until you've meditated. • Daily allowance: a budget for the day. It shows what's left, counts down as you spend it, and closes when it runs out, whether or not Eclipta is open. • Earned time: every minute you meditate buys app minutes at a rate you set. Meditate longer, get longer. • Instant block: one tap, blocked now, for when you can feel it starting. Each block picks its own apps and its own days. Set once, runs on its own. WHAT ELSE YOU GET • Guided sessions: a calm voice leads you into deep rest in 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes. Or choose breathwork, or a quiet unguided timer, timed or open-ended, with a bell or in silence. • System-level blocking built on Apple's Screen Time (FamilyControls): not a timer you can swipe away. • Clarity: one daily number from your meditation, focus and recovery, with streaks that show your attention compounding week over week. • Apple Health (Mindful Minutes) sync and cloud backup, offline-first, across your devices. • No courses, no mood sliders, no sleep stories. It looks like a tool because it is one. WHY MEDITATION AND NOT JUST A BLOCKER Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube have spent years training your brain to crave the next swipe. A blocker alone stops the damage but builds nothing back. Ten focused minutes a day trains the attention itself. Eclipta forces the trade: no session, no apps: so the two compound instead of taking turns. PRIVATE AND SECURE Eclipta uses Apple's Screen Time API, so your app usage is read on your device and stays there. Your browsing data never leaves your phone. Eclipta does not sell or share your data for advertising. Eclipta is free to download and needs a subscription to use. There is no free tier and no ads; the annual plan begins with a free trial. This is for people who have already tried Screen Time, grayscale, and three other blockers, and watched themselves switch every one of them off. If one breath had fixed you, you'd have stopped already. With Strict mode on, this is the version with no door. Subscription Information: Service: Eclipta Premium (Weekly, Monthly or Annual access) Payment will be charged to your App Store Account at confirmation of purchase.
