Focus Feast is a Pomodoro timer app. Before you start focusing, you place an "order" by choosing from 26 foods across 5 categories in the app. You can select "Deliver Now" to start focusing immediately after ordering, or choose "Schedule Delivery" to set a future time for a planned focus session. When the scheduled time arrives, the app will send you a notification to remind you to begin. While focusing, you earn 1 focus point per minute. If your points exceed the cost of the food you ordered, the surplus will be stored in your account. Don't exit early β€” doing so will deduct 20 points and you won't receive the food you ordered. After a focus session ends, you receive the food you ordered, the satiety value it provides, and a corresponding sticker. Reaching 100% satiety unlocks achievements, and stickers can be used in the sticker pool. The app also includes a schedule feature that tracks your daily focus time, foods earned, and upcoming scheduled focus sessions. Join Focus Feast and enjoy productive, rewarding time!

PawseScroll is a self-discipline tool built for anyone who "just can't put the phone down." It helps you take back your time β€” not through sheer willpower, but through smart, intentional blocking. 【How it works】: Commit β†’ Set a Limit β†’ Time's Up β†’ Reflect 1. Add the apps you want to block. 2. Commit: To open a blocked app, you first write down your purpose and how long you need it. 3. Set a Limit: The app only unlocks for the time you chose. 4. Time's Up: When the timer ends, the app locks again automatically β€” no "just five more minutes." 5. Reflect: After each session, review whether the time was well spent, so every use is intentional. 【Why you'll love it】 1. Real limits, not willpower: System-level blocking holds off temptation for you β€” you don't have to "resist" on your own. 2. Use it when you need it: Not an all-or-nothing ban. Use your apps with purpose and in moderation. 3. See your progress: Clear stats on your focus time and usage habits make your improvement easy to track. 4. 100% local, 100% private: All data stays on your device. No internet connection, no uploads, no ads, no tracking, and no personal information collected β€” ever. Perfect for students preparing for exams, professionals who need to focus at work, and anyone who wants to cut down on mindless scrolling and spend time on what really matters. Start today, say goodbye to endless scrolling, and give your time back to what counts. 【Privacy Policy】 https://lcn77kzi4s0c.feishu.cn/docx/QI2zdhJeIoMWpJxZAVHcaqGhnpc?from=from_copylink 【Contact】 Xiaohongshu (RED): ε½’ε½’ηš„θ„‘θŠ± WeChat: guiggg0
