Trying to study or work, but keep reaching for your phone? Still scrolling when it is time to sleep? Let PuppyFocus help you protect your attention during the day and gently put your phone down at night. PuppyFocus brings focus timers, app blocking, scheduled sleep blocking, and cozy puppy companionship into one iOS app. Complete a valid focus session to earn rewards, collect toys, rugs, beds, and more, and turn your pup's room into a warmer home with every focused minute. Now available in five languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. 【New in 1.3.2: Focus Timeline】 Focus Timeline: Review your focus history by day, two days, or week. Sessions are color-coded by task tags so you can see exactly where your time went. Manually log sessions you completed without the timer. Overnight and overlapping records are displayed clearly. Free for all users — no Pro required. 【Why PuppyFocus?】 Two ways to focus: Use the countdown timer for Pomodoro sessions, exam prep, and fixed-length tasks, or the stopwatch for reading, writing, and creative work. Break settings, focus rounds, interval reminders, and automatic cycles are also available. Block distracting apps: Strict Mode blocks other apps and websites during a session, while Whitelist Mode keeps only what you need, helping you stop mindless scrolling. A puppy that stays with you: Give your pup a name and enjoy different animations and messages while resting, focusing, succeeding, failing, or taking a break. Every session feels a little less difficult to start. Earn rewards for focusing: Complete valid sessions to earn Kibble, while Pro members can also collect Bones. Discover more than 90 toys, rugs, bowls, toy boxes, beds, and other room items. Sleep Blocking for better nights (Pro): Set the days and hours you want to wind down, and PuppyFocus will automatically limit distracting apps and websites. Choose Strict Mode or Whitelist Mode, with multiple whitelist presets for different routines. If you need your phone unexpectedly, your pup will ask you to pause and reflect first. Unlock 15 achievement trophies: Celebrate focus streaks, total focus time, completed sessions, room collections, and feature exploration. Your pup can even wear an unlocked trophy. See your progress over time: Review focus time, completed sessions, rewards, and tag distribution by day, week, month, or year with clear trends and calendar heatmaps. Keep progress close: Check the timer from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, use the landscape desk clock, receive background notifications, and sync focus records, rewards, and room setup across your Apple devices with iCloud. Focus → earn rewards → decorate your pup's home → unlock trophies → wind down on time. PuppyFocus makes focusing and resting feel lighter, warmer, and worth repeating.
