Build a focus queue from actions extracted from your voice notes. Work on one step at a time, track active time and keep an outcome for every step. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Focus and select up to five open actions. Choose the planned minutes per step and create the queue. 2. Start the timer, work on the current step, and pause when needed. Write an outcome or next move before finishing each step. 3. Review the completed session and share its report. Reopen sessions later; source memos and task completion states stay separate. Voice recording, transcription, daily wraps, action inbox, Loose Ends, searchable library and insights remain available in a five-tab layout. Finish a recording before opening Focus. Transcription now requires on-device recognition and safely handles duplicate completion callbacks. WHAT TO KNOW Extracted tasks need your review. Queues preserve a snapshot of the selected wording and source memo identifier. Finishing a focus step does not mark its source commitment done. Leaving the screen pauses and saves; a forced quit can lose time since the last pause. Up to five steps per session, 1โ120 planned minutes per step and 100 saved sessions. iPhone and iPad.

Walkaway is the app blocker that makes you move. Instead of a timer you can dismiss, it puts a real, physical walk between you and your most distracting apps. THE PROBLEM WITH WILLPOWER Feeds are engineered to be opened on autopilot. By the time you notice, an hour is gone. Walkaway interrupts the reflex with the one thing a feed can't compete with: your own body in motion. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that pull you in (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube โ anything). 2. Walkaway shields them using Apple's Screen Time technology. 3. Want in? Walk. Your steps are counted live, and when you hit your goal the app unlocks for a short session. Moving is the opposite of scrolling. Most of the time, by the end of the walk, you no longer want to open the app at all. WAYS TO BLOCK โข Walk to unlock โ earn your time with real steps, counted by your iPhone's motion sensor โข Hard block โ no early unlock, no exceptions โข Schedules โ block mornings, evenings, or any custom daily window โข Commitment locks โ seal a block for 3 hours up to 1 week; no way to switch it off early BUILT TO RESIST FUTURE-YOU Deleting the app or flipping blocking off in Settings is the loophole every blocker shares. Walkaway walks you through closing it: lock your settings with a Screen Time passcode you don't memorize, and the block actually sticks. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โข No account, no sign-up โข Step counting happens on-device โข Apple's Screen Time framework means Walkaway never sees which apps you use or what you do in them โข Nothing leaves your iPhone A 1-MINUTE SCROLL CHECK Four quick questions show how much of your scrolling runs on autopilot โ then Walkaway sets the right walking goal for you. WHO IT'S FOR โข Doomscrollers who lose hours without deciding to โข Students and deep workers protecting their focus โข Anyone trying a digital detox who wants to move more instead of scrolling Stop negotiating with the feed. Put your shoes on and take your time back โ one walk at a time.
