All aboard for fewer distractions. Train Mode turns focus into a calm train ride. Choose a city, pick a route, board the train, and stay on track while you work, study, read, write, or take a break from distracting apps. Instead of staring at a plain timer, Train Mode gives your focus session a beginning, a journey, and an arrival. Your ride moves through station milestones, helping you feel progress without constantly checking your phone. HOW IT WORKS Choose a city. Pick a train ride. Board the train. Stay focused until you arrive. Train Mode is designed for people who want a more playful, calming way to start and finish focused sessions. FEATURES β’ Train-themed focus sessions Pick a ride and turn your work time into a journey. β’ City and route selection Choose from different cities and train rides, each with its own mood and duration. β’ Station progress Move through simple station milestones as your session continues. β’ App blocking support Use Screen Time permissions to help block selected distracting apps and categories during a ride. β’ Arrival summary When the ride ends, see your completed session and celebrate arriving on track. β’ Calm visual design A cozy train-inspired interface with clean routes, gentle progress, and a focused atmosphere. β’ Flexible focus lengths Use short rides for quick resets or longer rides for deeper work.

Use Train Mode for: β’ Studying β’ Writing β’ Reading β’ Deep work β’ Homework β’ Creative projects β’ Screen breaks β’ Reducing social media distractions β’ Building a calmer daily routine IMPORTANT NOTE Train Mode cannot turn on Airplane Mode automatically.
