All aboard for fewer distractions. Train Mode turns focus into a calm train ride. Choose a city, pick a route, board the train, and stay on track while you work, study, read, write, or take a break from distracting apps. Instead of staring at a plain timer, Train Mode gives your focus session a beginning, a journey, and an arrival. Your ride moves through station milestones, helping you feel progress without constantly checking your phone. HOW IT WORKS Choose a city. Pick a train ride. Board the train. Stay focused until you arrive. Train Mode is designed for people who want a more playful, calming way to start and finish focused sessions. FEATURES β€’ Train-themed focus sessions Pick a ride and turn your work time into a journey. β€’ City and route selection Choose from different cities and train rides, each with its own mood and duration. β€’ Station progress Move through simple station milestones as your session continues. β€’ App blocking support Use Screen Time permissions to help block selected distracting apps and categories during a ride. β€’ Arrival summary When the ride ends, see your completed session and celebrate arriving on track. β€’ Calm visual design A cozy train-inspired interface with clean routes, gentle progress, and a focused atmosphere. β€’ Flexible focus lengths Use short rides for quick resets or longer rides for deeper work.

Use Train Mode for: β€’ Studying β€’ Writing β€’ Reading β€’ Deep work β€’ Homework β€’ Creative projects β€’ Screen breaks β€’ Reducing social media distractions β€’ Building a calmer daily routine IMPORTANT NOTE Train Mode cannot turn on Airplane Mode automatically.
