This is not another feed. Just This is a focus app with one job: catch you the moment you reach for the scroll, and hand you back the thing you actually sat down to do. You pick the apps that pull you in. Just This seals them shut for the length of a focus session. When you reach for one anyway, you don't get the feed โ€” you get your own intention, in your own words, staring back. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a session. Name the one thing. Pick a duration and how strict you want it. 2. Reach for the feed out of habit. Just This intercepts before it opens. 3. Face your intent โ€” your words, not a dopamine loop. 4. Finish the thing. Blunt stats. No reward, no confetti. CHOOSE YOUR STRICTNESS - Soft โ€” a 5-minute door, if you truly need it. - Hard โ€” sealed until the timer ends. No negotiating. - Locked โ€” no early exit at all. You committed; honor it. WHAT IT DOESN'T HAVE No streaks. No points. No badges. No leaderboards. No notifications nagging you back. No feed of its own. Nothing engineered to keep you in the app. The best session is the one where you forget Just This exists. EVERYTHING, UNLOCKED A Just This subscription unlocks the whole app: - Block the feeds that pull you in - Full session history & insights - Recurring schedules โ€” auto-seal on repeat - Locked mode โ€” the no-escape commitment - Multiple app profiles โ€” work, study, sleep Start with a 7-day free trial. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. Your sessions, schedules and stats live only on your device. Just This never even sees which apps you block โ€” that stays between you and iOS. Just This uses Apple's Screen Time to seal apps during your own focus sessions. Setup is one tap. Requires iOS 18. Sit down. Seal the feed. Do just this. โ€” Just This Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or yearly), with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. It auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
