Focus like you're going somewhere. FocusTrain turns every focus session into a real train journey across Europe. Choose how long you want to work, pick a destination your train can actually reach in that time, and depart. While you focus, your train rolls down real tracks toward a real station. Stay on board until you arrive. THE RIDE • Real routes. Stations and tracks come from the actual European rail network. Fifty minutes of deep work is the ride to Basel, not a number on a kitchen timer. • The Quiet Carriage. Stow your distracting apps in the luggage rack for the ride. They lock while the train moves, unlock at every station break, and open again when you arrive. Built on Apple's Screen Time. You choose the apps, and you can always end the ride. • Station breaks. Longer sessions stop at real stations along the route. Stretch, breathe, then the doors close and you roll on toward your destination. • Train ambience. A soft interior rumble rides with you, quiets down at the stops, and keeps playing when you lock your phone. • Tickets you keep. Every completed journey prints a ticket into your wallet. End a ride early and the ticket rips in half. Ripped tickets aren't kept. That's the point. SUBSCRIPTION FocusTrain requires an active Focus Train Pro subscription. Every journey, the Quiet Carriage, and your ticket wallet are included. • Yearly: $49.99/year, after a 7-day free trial for new riders • Monthly: $12.99/month Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
