Tired of timers that feel like homework? FocusAir turns focus time into a flight game. Pick a destination, board, and lock in — while you study, write, code, or read, your plane crosses a real map from takeoff to landing. Land it, loot it, level up. BOOK A FLIGHT TO FOCUS Set your home airport, then pick where you're headed: a quick hop for homework, a long-haul for deep work. Search any airport on Earth and turn goals into missions — Rome for exam prep, Tokyo for a coding sprint. DISTRACTIONS? GROUNDED. Airplane Mode is free for everyone. Put social media, games, and doomscrolling on your no-fly list, and FocusAir blocks them with Apple's Screen Time controls until you land. Your session is protected, not just timed. LAND IT. LOOT IT. Every flight banks XP and a Focus Score, with live multipliers for clean, uninterrupted focus. Wheels down means loot: die-cut stickers to slap on your landing postcard, achievements for your collection, and progress toward your next rank. CLIMB TO SEAT 1A Rank up from Paper Plane through Window Seat, Frequent Flyer, and Jet Setter, to Seat 1A — then keep going: the ladder tops out at Sky Legend. Keep your streak alive, fill the daily fuel gauge, and watch your Flight Log become proof you actually did the thing. PICK YOUR RIDE Fly the trusty 737, or board the whole fleet with First Class: the 777, the double-decker A380, the supersonic Concorde, even Air Force One — each with its own livery, stats, and personality. TOUR THE WORLD Multi-stop tours chain your sessions into adventures. Hop across US cities or sprint through world capitals, and stamp every stop before the clock runs out. BUILT TO PROTECT YOUR STREAK Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep the countdown on your lock screen. Pause anytime — ending early is deliberate, never accidental. Home-screen widgets track your streak, rank, and next stop. FREE TO FLY Everyone gets 2 free flights a day plus full app blocking, no subscription needed. First Class unlocks unlimited flights and the whole fleet. Exams, essays, code, or that thing you keep putting off — give it a departure time. Phone down. Wings up.

Every focus session is a voyage. Focus Passage turns your working time into a sailing passage between real harbours. Pick a port, spin the helm, and your boat sets out along a real coast. Stay with your work and she sails on. Put the phone down. Cross the sea. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a real harbour. Choose where you're headed from the harbours within reach of your session, anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. The longer you focus, the further you can go. • Spin the helm. The apps you chose go quiet the moment you set sail and stay that way until you arrive. • Sail. Watch your boat cross the chart in real time, over real water, past real headlands and lighthouses. • Arrive. Finish, and you wake up somewhere new. Stop early and you lose the miles. 1,149 REAL HARBOURS Every port is a real place, at its real position, and every passage is measured in real nautical miles along a route that stays in the water. Start from Lisbon, Brittany, the Chesapeake, the Cyclades, Sydney, the Caribbean — 56 coasts in 53 countries — and work your way along, one session at a time. THE WIND CHANGES EVERY DAY Each day brings its own weather, the same for everyone. A fresh breeze carries you further; a calm day asks for a little more patience. The wind decides how far you get — never how long you sit. YOUR APPS, SILENCED Choose the apps that pull you away — social, video, games, whatever steals your afternoon. During a session they stay shut. Focus Passage uses Apple's Screen Time and never learns which apps you picked: the choice stays on your iPhone. WHAT THE SEA TURNS UP Longer sessions go further out, and further out is where things happen. • Sightings — flying fish and dolphins, then turtles, sharks and whales. The albatross only appears on the longest passages. • Lighthouses raised as you round the headlands. • Messages in bottles, found drifting along the way. • A stamp for every harbour you reach. YOUR CAPTAIN'S LOG Every passage is written up in your logbook: miles sailed, hours focused, harbours reached, stamps, sightings and the notes you've found. It's a record of the time you took back — and a reason to sit down again tomorrow. YOUR YEAR, SAILED At a mile a minute, the hours that disappear into your phone add up to a real distance. Focus Passage shows you how far that time could carry you — and then helps you start sailing it. BUILT FOR DEEP WORK • Sessions from 30 to 90 minutes, sized for real work, study, reading or creative time • A gentle daily reminder at the hour you choose, on the days you choose • No streaks to break, no leaderboards, no noise — just the next harbour • Designed to be calm: one sea, one boat, one thing at a time Whether you're writing, studying for exams, coding, reading, or just tfternoon without scrolling, Focus Passage gives your attentionsomewhere to go.
