Focus Timer Screen Time
Read full descriptionHide full description
Focus Moon turns every focus session into a small mission. Pick a destination, lock the apps that pull you off course, and stay on board until you land. Most timers only say “go.” Focus Moon gives you a ritual: a route, a quiet cabin, a clear horizon, and a Mission Log that proves the work happened. HOW A MISSION WORKS • Pick a destination: Moon Orbit, Mars Transfer, Europa Flyby, Titan Research, or Deep Space Drift. • Choose what you are working on: Deep Work, Study, Code, Read, Write, Design, or a custom mission type. • Engage Focus Shield to lock distracting apps via Screen Time. • Hit launch. The cabin goes quiet, the route appears, and the rocket starts its run. • Stay on course until you land. Your focused time is logged. STAY ON COURSE • Live Activity and Dynamic Island show progress without unlocking the phone. • Ambient soundscapes such as Spaceship Hum, Deep Space, Rain on Station, Solar Wind, and Command Deck set the cabin mood. • Calm haptics mark launch, countdown, and landing. • Cabin Silence works with iOS Focus modes so notifications stay outside. • Landscape Cockpit View turns iPhone into a flight window for long sessions. AFTER THE MISSION • Mission Log records route, duration, focused time, and apps blocked. • Telemetry tracks total focus hours, streaks, destinations discovered, and weekly progress. • Mission Recap is shareable as a clean card. • Polarity Drift adds a short arcade run after each mission to earn extra flight time. MADE FOR FOCUS, NOT NOISE • No ads. No social pressure. No notification spam. • Works fully offline. Your mission data stays on your device. • No account required.
