Block distracting apps, then unlock them with a real-world key. TapFocus makes focus physical. Instead of relying on willpower alone, you can turn an NFC tag, QR code, or barcode into a Focus Key โ€” a small real-world step between you and your most distracting apps. Place a Focus Key on your desk, by your bed, across the room, or anywhere you want to create intentional friction. Start a focus session, block the apps you choose, and unlock again when you scan your key. Use an NFC tag for a simple tap-to-unlock ritual, print a QR code for a low-cost setup, or scan a barcode on an object you already own. No special hardware required. Build your own focus system โ€ข Block distracting apps during focus sessions โ€ข Unlock with NFC tags, QR codes, or barcodes โ€ข Create Focus Keys for different routines โ€ข Put your unlock key across the room, at your desk, or away from your bed โ€ข Build simple rituals for work, studying, sleep, reading, or deep focus โ€ข Add intentional friction before you open distracting apps Useful for โ€ข Staying off social media while working โ€ข Keeping your phone away from bed โ€ข Reducing impulsive app checking โ€ข Creating a DIY focus setup with NFC tags โ€ข Printing QR keys for rooms, notebooks, or desks TapFocus is not another focus timer. It is a physical ritual that makes focus easier to start โ€” and harder to break. Tap. Scan. Focus.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TapFocus at none against DGen's shown. TapFocus also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). DGen's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
