ClarityClock helps you beat procrastination and do the work that matters. Start a focus session, block the apps that pull you away, and watch your concentration turn into real progress on a gamified journey. Most "focus apps" are just timers you ignore. ClarityClock adds gentle friction at the exact moment you reach for a distraction - so you actually stay on task. DEEP WORK SESSIONS Set a timer, pick the apps to block, and focus. If you reach for a blocked app mid-session, ClarityClock steps in and reminds you of the commitment you made to yourself. RESCUE ME Already spiraling in a distracting app? Trigger Rescue Me and ClarityClock steps in after a few minutes to pull you back out of the doomscroll. THE FOCUS MAP Every session moves you forward on a journey of themed chapters. Progress is earned by real focus minutes - a reason to come back tomorrow. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Reports and a calendar show your focus streaks, total deep-work time, and the habit taking shape over days and weeks. CHOOSE YOUR BLOCK STRENGTH From a gentle reminder you can dismiss to a firm block that holds you to your word. FREE Everything in ClarityClock is free. No ads, ever. YOUR PRIVACY ClarityClock is built to respect you: - App blocking uses Apple's Screen Time technology. Your app choices are handled by iOS itself - ClarityClock can never see, store, or share which apps you pick. - It never reads your screen content, messages, or what you type. - Your task names stay on your device. Only basic session stats (type, length, time) sync to your account so your progress follows you. - You can delete your account and data anytime from inside the app. Stop fighting your phone with willpower alone. Make focus the default. Download ClarityClock and start your first session today.
