Stop scrolling. Start living. You unlock your phone to check one thing โ and an hour disappears. Sound familiar? Tomosu is a digital wellbeing app that takes a radically different approach. Instead of blocking apps after you've already used them too much, Tomosu restricts all apps by default โ 24/7. When you actually need something, you start a Focus Session and unlock only the apps you choose. No notifications. No badges. No distractions. Just intention. โ HOW IT WORKS โ 1. All apps are restricted around the clock Notifications and badges are silenced across your entire phone. Your lock screen becomes peaceful again. 2. Start a Focus Session when you're ready Choose a preset โ Work, Study, Social, Reading โ or create your own. Only the apps you select become available. 3. Earn coins for staying focused Complete sessions to earn coins. Use them to unlock beautiful visual themes โ Japanese candles, bonfires, lanterns, and more. โ KEY FEATURES โ - 24/7 App Restriction: Every app is locked by default. Notifications and badges disappear completely. - Focus Sessions with Presets: One-tap sessions for Work, Study, SNS, and more. Customize which apps are allowed. - Quick Use Mode: Need to check something fast? 15 or 30-minute light sessions, no setup required. - SNS Challenge: Before opening social media, complete a quick physical challenge โ shake your phone, do a breathing exercise, or stretch. A small pause that makes a big difference. - Coins & Themes: Beautiful candlelight and fire animations reward your focus. The more you concentrate, the richer your world becomes. - Achievements: Unlock badges for focus streaks, total hours, and session milestones. Each comes with bonus coins. - Statistics: See your weekly and monthly focus trends, session history, and progress. - Social Map: See lights from fellow users around Japan and the world.
