Can't put your phone down? It's not your fault. Those apps were designed to keep you inside. Foccus was designed to keep them out. Foccus turns focusing into a game: shake your phone — and 3 randomly picked apps from your list get locked. Who's going? Instagram, TikTok, or that game you can't quit? Luck decides. That's why every session starts with the thrill of a lottery draw. THE REST IS UP TO YOU While the timer runs, your locked apps are off limits — try to open one and you'll hit a shield. Hold out, and every screen-free minute turns into points. Finish the session and the points, streak and badges are yours. Give up early... and your streak resets. Simple, fair, ruthless. HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps that can be locked — just once • Shake your phone (or tap the dice) • 3 random apps get locked for 30 min to 3 hours • Resist, earn points, level up EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS YOU PLAYING • Points: every screen-free minute = 1 point, multiplied by completion bonuses and streaks • Daily streaks: complete a session every day and watch your multiplier grow • 6 levels: start as a Rookie, rise to Zen Legend • 8 badges to collect: from First Step to the 1,000 Minute Club • Screen-Free Time stats: the exact opposite of screen time — charts of the minutes you spent away from your phone THE SERIOUS PART Foccus is built on Apple's official Screen Time technology. The lock is real: you can't swipe it away or bargain for "5 more minutes." Watch the countdown live in the Dynamic Island — even when the app is closed. PRIVACY? ZERO DATA. Apple never tells us which apps you picked — so we couldn't share it even if we wanted to. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device. WHO IS IT FOR? • Students who reach for their phone mid-study session • Professionals who "just check something" and lose 40 minutes • Night scrollers glued to the screen before sleep • Everyone who started a digital detox and quit on day three — this time, the game is on your side Stop fighting your screen time. Turn it into a game and win. Shake. Lock. Focus. SUBSCRIPTION & PURCHASE Foccus Pro unlocks unlimited focus sessions. The free version includes one session per day. • Foccus Pro Monthly: auto-renewable subscription, 1 month • Foccus Pro Yearly: auto-renewable subscription, 1 year • Foccus Pro Lifetime: one-time purchase, not a subscription Both subscriptions start with a 3-day free trial. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
