Can't study without checking your phone every five minutes? You're not the only one. Regain is the focus app built purely for students - block the apps that distract you, start a focus timer, and finally get through a study session without Instagram or YouTube pulling you away. Whether you're preparing for board exams, college entrance tests, or professional certifications, Regain helps you put in the hours. FOCUS TIMER Set a timer, lock in, and study. Choose your duration and tag each session by subject (Physics, Organic Chemistry, or whatever you're on). POMODORO TIMER (PRO) Stay focused and get more done with the classic Pomodoro technique. Focus, recharge, repeat - customize your focus and break durations, with support for both short and long breaks. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS When you start a focus session, Regain blocks the apps you choose - like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and Twitter/X - until your timer ends. Powered by Apple's Screen Time, so Regain never sees which apps you block or accesses your screen time data. STRICT MODE (PRO) For students who want an extra layer of self-commitment. When you turn on Strict Mode, your session runs for the full duration you selected - helping you build the habit of finishing what you start. Enable or disable it anytime from Settings. FOCUS GUARD (PRO) An opt-in reminder that helps you follow through when willpower dips during a focus session. You stay in control - toggle Focus Guard on or off anytime from Settings. FOCUS STATS Watch your focus improve day over day, with a per-subject breakdown so you know exactly which subjects got your attention. FOCUS MUSIC (PRO) Science-backed sounds built for concentration: Lofi Beats, Deep Focus Ambience, White Noise, Space, and Binaural. THEMES (PRO) Personalize your focus screen with beautiful Nature and Lofi wallpapers. FREE VS PRO The free tier includes unlimited focus sessions and a stopwatch. Regain Pro unlocks Pomodoro, Strict Mode, Premium Themes, and Science-Backed Focus Music. PRIVACY Sign in with Apple or Google is optional — signing in syncs your subscription across your devices. Your focus data always stays on your device, whether you sign in or not. Regain uses Apple's Family Controls to block distractions and never sees the names of the apps you block. You can permanently delete your account at any time from Settings.
