About

Focus Pact

Features
Read full description

Focus Pact Pro is a local-first focus and digital wellness app designed to help you interrupt distraction before it becomes automatic. Build scheduled rules for selected apps, categories, and websites using Apple’s Screen Time frameworks. Choose between Ghost Mode for lighter friction and Guard Mode for stricter intervention, confirm continue actions inside the app, and let today’s rule resume automatically after the delay window. Focus Pact Pro also keeps a local credit score, review summaries, and emergency unlock records so you can understand the real cost of distraction and recover with cleaner days over time. The current version does not require an online account, does not provide cloud sync, and does not upload your Screen Time history or personal content to developer-operated servers.
