FOKUS vs TaskLock

Fokus — Focus That Lives Beyond Your Phone Fokus is a productivity and screen time blocker app designed to help you stay focused by adding something most apps can't: a physical key. This digital wellness tool uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block distracting apps and websites during focus sessions while keeping essential phone functions like calls and messages available. When it's time to end a session, distractions don't return with a tap—they return when you choose to get up and unlock them with your FOKUS device. Why Fokus Works Differently Most focus apps live entirely on your phone—which makes them easy to ignore. Fokus introduces a physical element that lives outside your screen. Place your FOKUS key in another room, like the kitchen, hallway, or office shelf. When you feel the urge to open social media or distracting apps, you're faced with a choice: stay focused, or get up and retrieve the key. That small pause makes a big difference in building better screen time habits and reducing digital distractions. FEATURES Screen Time Blocking & App Blocker Block distracting apps and websites during focus sessions using Apple's official Screen Time framework. Fokus works at the system level to help reduce interruptions from social media, games, entertainment apps, and other high-distraction content. This app blocker gives you control over which apps and websites are restricted during your focus time. Physical Key for Focus Fokus uses a physical FOKUS device to intentionally unlock blocked apps. Ending a focus session requires a real-world action—tapping your phone on the FOKUS device—helping prevent mindless scrolling and supporting social media detox habits. This physical barrier creates a deliberate separation between you and digital distractions, making it harder to impulsively return to blocked content. Focus Sessions & Scheduling Create unlimited custom focus sessions for work, study, sleep, or personal routines. Start sessions manually with a long press or schedule them to begin and end automatically throughout the day. Set specific times and days for automatic focus mode activation, helping you build consistent focus habits. Emergency Unblock When flexibility is needed, Fokus includes an Emergency Unblock option with 3 limited monthly uses to preserve the effectiveness of focus sessions while providing necessary flexibility for urgent situations. This feature ensures you're never completely locked out when something important comes up. Insights & Progress Tracking Track focus time, completed sessions, daily streaks, and screen time analytics to better understand your digital habits and improve time management. Visualize your progress with charts, calendars, and detailed statistics showing your focus journey over time. See which days you focused, how long your sessions lasted, and celebrate your focus streaks. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE Fokus blocks distractions—not your phone. You can still receive calls, send messages, and use essential apps while a focus session is active. Fokus is designed to support productivity and digital wellness without disconnecting you from what matters. Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone seeking better focus and reduced screen time.
