Focus Together — focus longer, together You sit down to focus, and five minutes later you're reaching for your phone. That's what happens when you're on your own. When someone next to you is focusing too, the flow comes naturally. But you can't always go to the library or call a friend. Focus Together gives you that someone. Start a session and you're connected with another person who wants to focus right now, and your two avatars walk side by side through the scenery for the same length of time. Your avatar walks for as long as you focus, and the distance you cover becomes your record. There's no chat. Only nicknames are shown, and no personal information is revealed. No social pressure — just the same time, spent together. ■ How it works · Anonymous buddy matching Set a time and start, and you're automatically matched with someone who chose the same length. If no one is available, you start solo after a moment, so you never waste time waiting. · Avatars that walk together While you focus, your avatar and your buddy's walk side by side. Even with your phone face down, the time left shows on the Lock Screen, so you don't need to keep checking. · A record of what you focused on What you focused on today, and for how long, builds up like a diary along the path you walked. It's not just a timer that counts minutes — it's a timeline of your focus. · A growing journey and dress-up Earn Focus points as you focus. Use them to buy outfits or adopt pets for your avatar, and see your buddies and total focus time in Stats. ■ Made for you if · You keep checking your phone while studying or working · Focusing alone feels awkward or stifling · Plain timers get boring before long · You want small wins every day ■ Good to know · Time presets: 15 / 25 / 50 minutes (or set your own, from 5 to 120 minutes) · Categories: Work / Study / Reading / Creative work / Exercise / Chores / Hobbies / Other (you can create your own) · Lock Screen countdown: iOS 16.2 or later (Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro or later) · Sign-in is Sign in with Apple only. Because matching is anonymous, we keep data to a minimum, such as your session in progress. · Available in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and Korean — the app follows your device language. ■ Pro subscription (optional) · No ads, and 3× completion rewards right away. A Pro-exclusive pet, up to 2 buddies per session, and up to 30 custom categories. · Monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
