This is a smart focus and digital wellbeing app that helps you cut distractions and stay in flow. With flexible time-based rules, you can automatically limit access to distracting apps during work, study or sleep. ◆ Focus Control • Manual Mode – Quickly enable or disable focus rules for selected app groups with a single tap. Perfect for on-demand focus sessions. • Time Mode – Schedule focus sessions (e.g., 09:00–12:00 on weekdays) and let the app automatically restrict distracting apps at those times. Rules run in the background even when the app is closed. • Schedule-based Restrictions – Set specific time windows when apps are automatically locked. Ideal for work hours, study sessions, or sleep time. • Daily Usage Limits – Set daily time limits for app groups. Once the limit is reached, apps are automatically restricted for the rest of the day. ◆ SafeBox – Private Storage • Encrypted Photo & Video Albums – Safely store your private photos and videos in encrypted albums. Create custom albums and organize your memories with complete privacy protection. • Private Contacts – Keep important contacts secure and separate from your regular address book.

All changes are fully under your control: you can edit, pause or delete any rule at any time. ◆ Privacy • No user data is uploaded to servers. • No third-party analytics, ads or tracking SDKs. • All configuration data (groups, schedules, preferences, SafeBox content) is stored locally on your device with encryption.
