Before you find yourself thinking, "Ah, what was it again...?" Complete your recording and reminder within 10 seconds of having an idea. "I had a great idea, but I forgot it a few minutes later." "I intended to do something later, but forgot about it while working on something else." Our brains are constantly receiving new information. That's why important "inspirations" and "tasks" must be recorded before they are forgotten. SuguMemo is a "blazing fast reminder" designed to deliver information that's about to overflow from your brain to your future self in an instant. A Blazing Fast Experience That Leaves No Room for Forgetting】 1. Launch from the lock screen in 0 seconds "Pick up your iPhone → Tap the widget." That's all it takes to open the input screen. You'll no longer forget important memos while searching for the app. 2. Reminder complete in 10 seconds After entering your memo, simply tap the "10 minutes," "30 minutes," or "60 minutes" button. We've drastically reduced the effort of setting times. The reminder is completed the moment you put your inspiration into words. 3. Voice input: Just speak and release your finger Press and hold the microphone button and speak. Text appears in real-time, and the reminder is set the moment you release your finger. Catch inspirations without missing a beat, whether you're walking or doing chores. 【Benefits of Freeing Up Your Brain's Memory】 What's important is to focus on "thinking now," not "remembering now." By entrusting your memos to SuguMemo, your brain is freed from the stress of "I must not forget," allowing you to concentrate on more creative activities. 【Carefully Crafted Features】 ・ Handwritten design: Blazing fast, yet warm. The comfort of a digital sticky note. ・ Snooze function: Even after a notification arrives, you can extend it by "10 more minutes" from the lock screen. ・ Recent memos: Re-enter frequently used phrases or recent inspirations with a single tap. ・ Multi-language support: Supports 11 languages worldwide. 【"Free Your Brain" in These Scenarios】 ・ At the moment of inspiration: Record ideas you thought of during a walk or after a bath in 10 seconds before you forget them. ・ During work breaks: Jot down "things to do later" without interrupting your current focus. ・ While doing chores: Record "turn off the stove in 10 minutes" to free yourself from the anxiety of forgetting. The time for fearing "forgetting" is over. Place SuguMemo on your lock screen and set your brain "free." Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

You sat down to get things done. An hour later, you're still scrolling. A quick check turns into endless feeds, videos, and headlines — and the work, the studying, the things that actually matter slide to "later." When you finally look up, all that's left is the same quiet guilt: another day, nothing moved. It's not that your willpower is weak. These apps are engineered by the smartest people and the biggest budgets in the world to do one thing: take your time. So Focusity stopped fighting them on willpower alone. Instead, the time you spend off your phone turns into something you can see — a world wonder, rising one stage at a time. It turns "resisting" into "building." HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick how long you want to focus (5–120 minutes) and start 2. Every focused minute builds a world landmark — the Sagrada Família, the Taj Mahal, and more — stage by stage 3. Finish it, and it's yours to keep in your collection Optional: choose apps to block, and they stay locked during your session Because the payoff is something you can actually see, it's a habit that sticks. BUILT FOR YOU IF • You reach for your phone without thinking, and nothing gets done • Plain focus timers felt too cold to stick with • You want to cut your screen time — but actually enjoy doing it FEATURES — Focus, and Wonders Rise While you focus, a diorama slowly takes shape. The Taj Mahal, the floating torii of Itsukushima, the Sagrada Família, Angkor Wat — build the world's landmarks with your own focus. — Ambient Sounds for Deep Focus Rainfall, ocean waves, a flowing river, brown noise. Put on a study-friendly soundscape and sink into your work. Forest breezes, summer-night insects, quiet space, and more unlock with Premium. — Block Apps & Sites Auto-block the apps and websites you don't want to open during a session (powered by iOS Screen Time). Try to open one, and you'll see how many minutes are left and how much focus time you've already banked. So a reflexive tap on a feed doesn't cost you the session. — Home Screen Widget Your building-in-progress and today's focus time, right on your Home Screen. You see how far you've come without opening the app — and your hand stops reaching for the phone. — Collection Every finished landmark goes into your collection. The row of wonders you've built is proof of every minute you stayed focused. — Bonuses That Keep You Moving Early stages finish fast, so your first sense of progress comes quickly. And if you keep resisting your phone after the timer ends, that time counts toward your build as a bonus. — AI Craft: A City That's Only Yours Enter any theme and AI generates a one-of-a-kind city, made just for you — your own companion to keep you focused. — Share Share your finished landmarks and original cities to social media in a single tap. FOCUSITY PREMIUM • Build premium-exclusive landmarks like Kinkaku-ji and Mont-Saint-Michel • Pick exactly which landmark to build (free plan: random) • See finished landmarks at sunset and lit up at night • View them close-up, looking up, and from the other side • Build the original cities you made with AI Craft • Show your finished builds on the widget • Use every ambient soundscape PRIVACY Your focus time and building data are stored on your iPhone.
