Focus Moon turns every focus session into a small mission. Pick a destination, lock the apps that pull you off course, and stay on board until you land. Most timers only say “go.” Focus Moon gives you a ritual: a route, a quiet cabin, a clear horizon, and a Mission Log that proves the work happened. HOW A MISSION WORKS • Pick a destination: Moon Orbit, Mars Transfer, Europa Flyby, Titan Research, or Deep Space Drift. • Choose what you are working on: Deep Work, Study, Code, Read, Write, Design, or a custom mission type. • Engage Focus Shield to lock distracting apps via Screen Time. • Hit launch. The cabin goes quiet, the route appears, and the rocket starts its run. • Stay on course until you land. Your focused time is logged. STAY ON COURSE • Live Activity and Dynamic Island show progress without unlocking the phone. • Ambient soundscapes such as Spaceship Hum, Deep Space, Rain on Station, Solar Wind, and Command Deck set the cabin mood. • Calm haptics mark launch, countdown, and landing. • Cabin Silence works with iOS Focus modes so notifications stay outside. • Landscape Cockpit View turns iPhone into a flight window for long sessions. AFTER THE MISSION • Mission Log records route, duration, focused time, and apps blocked. • Telemetry tracks total focus hours, streaks, destinations discovered, and weekly progress. • Mission Recap is shareable as a clean card. • Polarity Drift adds a short arcade run after each mission to earn extra flight time. MADE FOR FOCUS, NOT NOISE • No ads. No social pressure. No notification spam. • Works fully offline. Your mission data stays on your device. • No account required.

Bloom — Grow a Garden with Your Focus Bloom turns focus, mindfulness, and sleep into a calm garden you tend over time. Every session you finish blooms into a flower that is entirely its own: its kind, colour, petal form, and rarity are all shaped by your intention, your duration, and the moment you were in. No two flowers are ever alike. Try everything free for 14 days New users get a 14-day full-feature free trial — all flowers, the full garden, every scene. Once the trial ends, choose a subscription or a one-time purchase to keep going. To focus is to plant When you want to settle in and concentrate, plant a seed in Bloom, name what you're focusing on, and begin. Stay with it and the seed grows, until at last it blooms. Every flower stays in your garden for good — a real record of each stretch of time you gave your all. A gentle cost If you leave a session early, the flower doesn't simply vanish. It withers into a soft grey bud and remains in your garden all the same. It doesn't punish you. It just quietly remembers that this was where you stopped. More than focus alone Beyond deep focus, you can grow different flowers through mindful breathing and good sleep. Three ways to grow, three families of blooms, all gathering into a garden that is yours alone. Flowers are earned, never bought. Bloom never sells a single flower. Rare, epic, and legendary blooms are unlocked with coins earned from focus, mindfulness, and sleep — as are garden scenes, pot tiers, and how many pots you have. A subscription unlocks the ability to keep planting, not which flower you plant. The most striking flowers stay a reward for effort. Features Procedurally generated flowers — every one unique, never repeated Three modes: focus, mindful breathing, and sleep, each growing its own family of flowers A coin economy: unlock rare, epic, and legendary flowers through your own effort — coins can't be bought. Tend your garden your way: expand from 9 pots to 36, change pot tiers, switch between 6 garden scenes Share a garden with up to 8 friends, pooling focus hours together — reach 150 hours as a team to unlock an achievement flower that can't be bought. Focus insights: heatmaps, time-of-day distribution, and rarity composition, so you can see how far you've come Soft, spare design with an immersive dark mode that never gets in your way Every flower you've grown and your full garden history is never deleted, in any state. Bloom Plus Subscribe or buy once after the trial to keep using everything, and to unlock your full garden history, all garden scenes, and premium share cards. Bloom never rushes you and never interrupts. It quietly turns every stretch of time you give in earnest into a living garden — one that keeps growing, and is wholly your own. Start now, and plant your first flower. About pricing This app includes a 14-day full-feature free trial. After the trial, a monthly ($3.99/month), Yearly ($17.99/year), or one-time Lifetime purchase ($44.99) is required to continue. Subscriptions renew automatically within 24 hours before the end of the current period and can be cancelled anytime in your App Store account settings.
