About

Focus Hotel

Features
Read full description

Focus Hotel gives your focus somewhere to go. Start a focus session and distracting apps are locked away until it ends. Complete it to earn Focusines, the currency you can spend on furniture, new outfits and, eventually, entirely new rooms. Most productivity apps ask you to be disciplined. This one gives you something to show for it. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Choose how long you want to focus, then start. β€’ Distracting apps stay blocked for the entire session. β€’ Finish and earn the full reward. Cancel and earn nothing. No lecture, no broken streak, no guilt. β€’ Spend what you earned in the store, then place every piece yourself, tile by tile. β€’ Keep focusing and the hotel opens up: a living room, a kitchen and a bedroom of your own. YOU'RE NOT FOCUSING ALONE Other people's rooms are real places you can visit. See who is focusing right now, what they're working on and how far into their session they are. Say hello. Start your own session from their room and sit together while you both work. It's the quiet company of a library, on your phone. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β€’ No sign-up. No account, email or password. Open the app and you're in. β€’ Works offline. Focusing, earning and decorating never require a connection. β€’ Nothing is rented. Every piece you buy stays yours. β€’ A world, not a dashboard. Cozy pixel art you actually want to look at. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Track minutes focused, sessions completed and your completion rate: the number that shows whether you're getting better at staying focused. ABOUT APP BLOCKING Deep Focus uses Apple's Screen Time controls to keep selected apps blocked while a session is running. You grant permission once, you can say no, and focus sessions still work without blocking. Focus Hotel is free. Focusines are earned by focusing. You can also buy them if you'd rather furnish your hotel faster. Build a room worth coming back to.
