Read full description

You picked up your phone to check one thing. That was forty minutes ago. Focus Control shows you where your day actually goes and gives you the tools to take it back. SEE THE REAL NUMBER Your screen time, at a glance. See which apps took the most time and how today compares to yesterday. No guessing, no judgment, just the truth about where your hours went. BLOCK WHAT PULLS YOU IN Choose the apps that break your focus and shut them out. Instagram, TikTok, whatever yours are. When you try to open one, it simply won’t be there. FOCUS SESSIONS THAT ACTUALLY HOLD Start a session and the distractions disappear until you’re done. Work, study, dinner, sleep, pick your window and stay in it. SET A LIMIT, GET A NUDGE Give yourself a daily allowance. Focus Control warns you as you approach it, so you can stop by choice instead of noticing at midnight. DOWNTIME ON A SCHEDULE Set the hours that belong to you, mornings, evenings, weekends, and let them stay that way automatically. BUILT TO BE PRIVATE Focus Control only ever sees how long you spend in an app, never what you do inside it. Your data stays on your device. Take back one hour a day, and you get fifteen days back a year.
