You didn't choose it. It became a reflex. And 20 minutes later, you look up — with no idea where the time went. Focus Lab puts your choice back in the loop. While you scroll, a reminder slides onto your screen at exactly the right moment. Not to block you — because blocking creates frustration, and frustration, you work around in 3 days. Just to wake your awareness for one second. Enough to decide if you really want to stay, or look up. You stay free. But this time, you know you are. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps to monitor: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit — whatever you want. Set the reminder frequency: every 15 min on free, minute by minute on Pro. Choose the tone that hits: Gentle, Coach, or No Mercy. Focus Lab only shows up while you're using those apps. The rest of the time, it stays quiet. THREE TONES, YOUR METHOD Gentle: Kind, no judgment. "Quick check: 10 minutes in. Take a breath if you want — no rush." Coach: Direct, factual, like a good trainer. "Heads up: 15 minutes gone. Was that part of the plan?" No Mercy: Brutally honest, for the days you need a real wake-up call. "Seriously? 20 minutes wasted. Your future self is disappointed." 90 messages total, drawn at random. You'll never see the same one twice in a row. WHY IT WORKS WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILED Blocking apps create frustration… you end up disabling them. Stats apps come too late… you check the numbers at night, defeated, and do it all again tomorrow. Focus Lab steps in at the exact moment your attention slips. Not before, not after. And leaves you free to keep going or not. No points to earn. No streak to maintain. No guilt. Just a mirror, placed at the right spot, at the right time. FREE — Reminders every 15 minutes — Coach personality — Unlimited apps PRO — $1.99/month or $9.99/year. Lifetime access at $39.99. — Custom interval, from 1 to 60 minutes — All 3 personalities unlocked — Lab Mode: block the apps you choose, for as long as you need — You're supporting an independent project — Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions YOUR PRIVACY, UNTOUCHED Everything stays on your iPhone. No data is sent anywhere. The apps you monitor remain anonymous — even to us — thanks to FamilyControls, Apple's official technology. No account. No tracking. No ads.
