Your phone has a new roommate. Ozzy the opossum loses a heart every time you doomscroll, and gets them back when you focus. Meet Ozzy, your focus pal! Not another timer app. Not another to-do list you'll abandon by Thursday. Ozzy is built for people who know exactly what they should be doing and still can't make themselves start. FOCUS SESSIONS Start a session and Ozzy locks the apps that pull you away. No willpower required, no negotiating with yourself at 11pm. Just you, your task, and one very determined opossum making sure you actually finish it. EARN YOUR BREAKS Every minute you focus earns PawCoins. When you need a scroll, spend them on a 1, 5 or 15 minute break. Your apps unlock, then lock again when time's up. Guilt-free, because you earned it. SCHEDULES Lock apps for nights, workdays, or all day, so your shield runs even when you forget to start a session. TASKS, WITHOUT THE FRICTION Ozzy hands you tasks, so there's no blank page and no deciding what to do next. Just a fresh set waiting for you every day. See one you're ready for? Hold to complete it. No forms, no fuss, no fifteen taps to check one box. Just a satisfying hold that turns "I should do that" into "done." PROOF, NOT PROMISES Some tasks pay more than others. Snap a photo when you finish, and Ozzy's AI checks it's real, turning your actual effort into actual coins. No more marking things done just to clear the list. If you did it, you earn it. YOUR TRIBE Focus is easier when you're not doing it alone. Join a tribe, climb the leaderboard, and turn your streak into something the people around you can see and push you to keep. Finish on top and it pays: bonus coins, exclusive gear, and rewards you can't earn any other way. Quiet competition, real accountability, real stakes. DRESS THE OPOSSUM Every coin you earn is spendable. Head to the gear shop and kit out your opossum with new looks, seasonal drops, and rare pieces you can only unlock by putting in the work. Your streak has a face. Make it yours. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Check your full screen time history and watch the hours you win back add up. MEET OZZY Every session, Ozzy's right there with you, equal parts hype man and honest friend. He doesn't judge the slow days. He just wants you to show up for the next one. Ozzy isn't about forcing focus. It's about making it easier to want it. Download Ozzy and start your first session today. SUBSCRIPTION Ozzy needs a subscription to use.
