Most Pomodoro timers fail because they can't stop you from picking up your phone. FocusKit can. On-device AI watches your gaze — look away, and the timer stops. Built for ADHD brains, students, and anyone whose attention breaks the second a notification buzzes. —— WHAT MAKES FOCUSKIT DIFFERENT —— → AI FOCUS GUARD The front camera watches your attention. Look away and the timer pauses. Look back and it resumes. Everything runs on-device — no cloud, no data leaves your phone. → STRICT MODE Lock distracting apps with the iOS Screen Time API. Once a session starts, Instagram, TikTok and X stay closed until you finish. No willpower required. → POMODORO & DEEP WORK Classic 25-minute Pomodoros, custom intervals, or open-ended deep work sessions. Whatever your focus style, FocusKit fits it. → FOCUS SOUNDS Rain, thunder, wind, coffee shop, fire and white noise. Layer them or run one. → LIVE ACTIVITY & LOCK SCREEN Your countdown lives on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and StandBy. No unlock, no scroll. → PROGRESS ANALYTICS Focus hours, streaks, best days, completion rate. See what drains your attention before it does. —— HOW IT WORKS —— 1. Pick a session length and the apps you want blocked. 2. Hit Start. AI watches your focus; Strict Mode guards your screen. 3. Finish. Earn coins. Build the streak. —— BUILT FOR —— • ADHD minds breaking the dopamine loop • Students prepping for exams and finals • Knowledge workers running long, uninterrupted blocks • Anyone on a digital detox or building a study routine —— PRIVACY —— Face detection runs entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework. No video is recorded, stored or transmitted. Ever. Terms of Use: https://sites.google.com/view/focuskit-terms/home Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/focuskitprivacypolicy/home
