FocusMirror is a calm, honest mirror for your attention. It shows how your phone helped or pulled you away — and gives you one useful next step. • Start a focus session with a goal, a length, and check-in reminders. • See a gentle, observational daily reflection — never shaming, never a score. • Set simple rules for which apps you want quiet during focus. • Share progress with a partner for accountability — summaries only, never your app history. • Pairs with FocusMirror on your Mac: your desktop shows what you did, your phone shows what pulled you away. Privacy first, by design: • We summarize activity as aggregates — app and category time only. • We never read your messages, capture your screen, or see your content. • You control what's tracked and what's shared. Delete everything in one tap. FocusMirror helps you understand your attention — and still feel in control.
