FocusKey vs FocusLock

FOCUS STARTS WITH ONE DECISION Willpower doesn't work. FocusKey uses a physical NFC card to lock distracting apps. No card, no access. Keep the card on your desk while you work. Leave it at home when you go out. The point is simple: create distance between you and the unlock. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that distract you — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever. Tap your FocusKey card to lock them. Tap again to unlock. That's it. YOUR PROGRESS Daily focus time, streaks, and a plant that grows with your discipline. Daily reminders to keep you on track. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Works offline. Emergency PIN when you need it. Web protection independent of sessions. Syncs automatically via iCloud. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. GDPR compliant. Made in Germany. FocusKey uses Apple Screen Time — apps are blocked at the system level. No workarounds. The FocusKey card is available at focuskey.de. Questions? info@focuskey.de

FocusLock is a simple focus timer with app blocking — completely free. No subscription, no account, no ads. WHAT MAKES FOCUSLOCK DIFFERENT Instead of a pause button you'll tap the moment your willpower wavers, you end a session by scanning a QR code — on packaging, on a book, on a poster, or on your own code stashed somewhere across the room. This forces you to physically step away from your phone before resuming Set a timer, start your session, and your screen locks. To unlock early, you need to scan any QR code. That small physical barrier is enough to break the reflex of picking up your phone — and actually get work done. HOW IT WORKS — Set your focus duration and choose a mode — FocusLock takes over your screen — Your timer runs as a Live Activity, visible even on the lock screen — To exit early: scan any QR code (print one, use one you already have) — When your session ends, you're free BUILT-IN POMODORO SYSTEM Set your work interval, break length, and number of rounds. FocusLock guides you through structured focus sessions automatically. APP BLOCKING Choose which apps to block during your session. Social media, news, games — gone until your timer ends. EMERGENCY UNLOCK Life happens. A limited number of emergency unlocks per week let you break out when you truly need to — with a deliberate 5-press confirmation to prevent impulse use. STATS & STREAKS Track your focus history, see your weekly progress, and build a streak that keeps you coming back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. FocusLock is for people who know they work better without their phone — and want a tool that enforces it.
