Block distracting apps, then unlock them with a real-world key. TapFocus makes focus physical. Instead of relying on willpower alone, you can turn an NFC tag, QR code, or barcode into a Focus Key — a small real-world step between you and your most distracting apps. Place a Focus Key on your desk, by your bed, across the room, or anywhere you want to create intentional friction. Start a focus session, block the apps you choose, and unlock again when you scan your key. Use an NFC tag for a simple tap-to-unlock ritual, print a QR code for a low-cost setup, or scan a barcode on an object you already own. No special hardware required. Build your own focus system • Block distracting apps during focus sessions • Unlock with NFC tags, QR codes, or barcodes • Create Focus Keys for different routines • Put your unlock key across the room, at your desk, or away from your bed • Build simple rituals for work, studying, sleep, reading, or deep focus • Add intentional friction before you open distracting apps Useful for • Staying off social media while working • Keeping your phone away from bed • Reducing impulsive app checking • Creating a DIY focus setup with NFC tags • Printing QR keys for rooms, notebooks, or desks TapFocus is not another focus timer. It is a physical ritual that makes focus easier to start — and harder to break. Tap. Scan. Focus.

Time Audit

Discover more of your time, let your time add up to something beautiful. Every day at the end of the night, reflect on where you have spent your time, and how much of it was spent there. Inner or outer. What value was it adding to your life? You'll know what needs to be noticed. This can be used for fuel in how you move forward as you decide to grow and change. Time Audit keeps it simple: • Schedule: set the things you do every day, or plan a single day ahead. • Today's audit: ten lines for what you spent your time on, and how long. • A fresh page each day: yesterday's audit clears, so you meet each day as it is. • Your week at a glance: move through the week and see which days have their own plans.
