Zone Focus vs FocusDragon

Block distracting apps and websites when your focus session starts. Use Strict Mode when Screen Time limits are too easy to ignore. No account, no third-party analytics, and your blocked app list stays on your device. Zone helps you stop scrolling, stay out of distracting apps, and protect the time you meant to spend away from your phone. CORE FEATURES STRICT APP AND WEBSITE BLOCKING Choose the apps and websites you keep opening. When you enter the Zone, they are shielded until your session ends. STRICT MODE Make sessions harder to abandon once they begin, so your commitment survives the moment you want to scroll. FOCUS TIMERS Use focused presets for short sprints, deep work blocks, longer flow sessions, or a custom duration. DYNAMIC ISLAND AND LIVE ACTIVITIES Track your remaining time from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without unlocking your phone. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Optionally save completed focus sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. INSIGHTS AND STREAKS See focus time, completed sessions, streaks, and blocked attempts so progress stays visible. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Zone does not require an account, does not use third-party analytics, and cannot see the specific apps or websites you choose to block. Your focus history, streaks, insights, and Apple Health sync stay on your device. To support Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity updates, Zone may send limited timer-delivery data, such as a Live Activity push token, remaining time, running state, and APNs environment, to our backend solely to update that Live Activity. Zone does not send your blocked apps, websites, focus history, Health data, or personal usage analytics. Enter the Zone, stop scrolling, and protect your focus.

You have tried focus apps before. The blocks came off the moment you wanted them to. FocusDragon is built so they do not. HOW IT HOLDS Blocks run at the operating-system level through Apple's Screen Time, a Safari content blocker, and a network filter. Three layers, not one. While a block is running, FocusDragon prevents its own removal, so deleting the app is not an escape. Changing your device clock does not help either. Lock timers are measured against real elapsed time, not the clock you can edit. CHOOSE HOW HARD IT IS TO UNDO Timer - runs until the time is up. PIN - you set it, you enter it. Schedule - holds during the hours you choose. Charger - releases only while your phone is plugged in. Cooldown - ask to unlock, then wait out the delay. Friend approval - someone else has to say yes. Physical key - scan a QR code you deliberately left in another room. BLOCK, OR ALLOW Block the apps and sites that cost you time. Or invert it: allow a short list and block everything else. ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Pro is a one-time 4.99. It also unlocks the Mac app on the same account, with no second purchase. Blocking apps and websites, timers and PIN locks are free. WHO MADE THIS I built FocusDragon because I had a gaming addiction as a student and could not afford a 45 dollar competitor. It is still one person.
