Random Focus turns screen-time control into a game you actually want to play. Every so often it challenges you to find and photograph a real object β or take a daily selfie β before the timer runs out. On-device AI checks your shot instantly; nothing leaves your phone. Complete it and you earn coins, keep streaks, and unlock cosmetics. Ignore it and your social, games, and entertainment apps get blocked until you do. Set sleep hours so apps stay blocked at night and you rest. β’ 100% on-device AI β’ Private iCloud sync β’ No accounts, no trackers β’ English & Spanish. Less screen, more real life.
