You have tried focus apps before. The blocks came off the moment you wanted them to. FocusDragon is built so they do not. HOW IT HOLDS Blocks run at the operating-system level through Apple's Screen Time, a Safari content blocker, and a network filter. Three layers, not one. While a block is running, FocusDragon prevents its own removal, so deleting the app is not an escape. Changing your device clock does not help either. Lock timers are measured against real elapsed time, not the clock you can edit. CHOOSE HOW HARD IT IS TO UNDO Timer - runs until the time is up. PIN - you set it, you enter it. Schedule - holds during the hours you choose. Charger - releases only while your phone is plugged in. Cooldown - ask to unlock, then wait out the delay. Friend approval - someone else has to say yes. Physical key - scan a QR code you deliberately left in another room. BLOCK, OR ALLOW Block the apps and sites that cost you time. Or invert it: allow a short list and block everything else. ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Pro is a one-time 4.99. It also unlocks the Mac app on the same account, with no second purchase. Blocking apps and websites, timers and PIN locks are free. WHO MADE THIS I built FocusDragon because I had a gaming addiction as a student and could not afford a 45 dollar competitor. It is still one person. If something is wrong, write to me and I will answer.
