Put your phone down. Give your work your attention. Watch your Space take shape. AVOW brings a calm timer, distinctive focus artwork and a clear record of verified progress to your day. TWO WAYS TO FOCUS Verified Focus checks your presence on your device. When you step away, verified time pauses. Return and keep building where you left off. Personal Focus gives you every Space and destination, without verification, saved progress or achievements. Choose how long to work and enjoy the experience. An optional Focus Mirror uses your camera only when you choose it. FIND YOUR SPACE Keep it simple with Minimal. Form a constellation, illuminate a city, climb a mountain, grow a flower, build an illustrated neural connection or cross a bridge. Preview every Space before starting. In Verified Focus, qualifying progress saves between sessions. A shorter session still counts toward your destination. Reach a milestone, unlock what comes next and keep focusing without interrupting your timer. YOUR PASSPORT See the lasting results of Verified Focus: destination stamps, connections built, elevation climbed, virtual bridge distance, flowers grown, stars collected, cities visited and bridges crossed. Browse your Space Collection and return to what you have started. Passport also includes premium appearance themes and themed Home Screen icons. Keep the original AVOW icon or choose a palette to match your style. These are symbolic focus illustrations. AVOW does not measure biological brain changes, physical climbing, walking distance or GPS activity. PLAN YOUR NEXT SESSION Schedule tasks and reminders, review your verified history and choose a theme that feels right. On supported iPhone and iPad devices, optionally authorize Screen Time and choose distracting apps or categories to block during your scheduled work. Cancel a plan, use Emergency Stop or revoke permission whenever you need to. Optional account and community features let you decide what to share. CLEAR SESSION ACCESS Start with three free sessions total, shared across Verified Focus and Personal Focus. After those, either mode requires an active Passport subscription (AVOW Pro) or a single-session purchase, US $0.99. Personal Focus includes every Space and destination with any valid session access. In Verified Focus, Flowers, Neural Network and Bridge Crossing require Passport; other Spaces follow the same session-payment rules. Previewing, pausing, resuming or continuing the same session never consumes another session. Passport is available monthly or yearly. Prices and any eligible introductory offer appear before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. CAMERA PRIVACY Camera processing happens on your device. AVOW does not record or upload camera footage. Account, sync and purchase services have separate data practices explained in the Privacy Policy.

Detox Time

Sorry to bother you. It's time to put your phone down. Detox Time gives your good intentions a little backup: scheduled focus alarms that remind you to return to your detox session. MAKE TIME FOR LESS SCROLLING Choose one or more daily detox windows. Give each one a name, change its hours, or turn it off whenever you need to. A REMINDER THAT COMES BACK When an enabled detox window begins, an alarm reminds you to start. Dismiss it and a five-minute countdown begins before the next reminder. See the countdown on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN, KEEP DETOX OPEN Start a session whenever you want. Keep the detox screen visible while you do something else. Alarms stay quiet and your session time adds up. Leave an active session and a five-minute reminder helps you come back. Only time with the detox screen visible counts. A LITTLE REWARD FOR SHOWING UP Earn a sphere for every accumulated 25 minutes. Unfinished progress carries into your next session. Reveal different colors and expressions, then tilt your phone to watch your collection roll around. Your first three spheres are on us. YOUR TIME, AT A GLANCE See your weekly total and past sessions. Ready to finish? Hold anywhere on the detox screen for five seconds. Free to use. No account, ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. Your schedules, session history, and collection stay on your device. Requires iOS 26 or later. Alarm reminders need your permission; manual sessions work without it. Live Activities and Dynamic Island availability depend on your device and iOS settings. Detox Time is a reminder and focus timer: it does not block access to other apps or measure their screen time.
