Focus Mate

iPhoneFocus

Your apps stay locked until today's goals are done. A focus mate cheers you on.

Pick the apps that steal your day and write down what you want to get done. Until those goals are checked off, the apps stay locked, and your focus mate shows you exactly what's left. Finish your goals and they open up again. Your mate grows a little with every goal you finish.

Hoot, Bloop and Lumo, the three Focus Mate pets, under a night sky

How it works.

  1. 1

    Set today's goals.

    Write down the few things that matter today. Reading, a workout, that report you keep pushing.

  2. 2

    Lock your distractions.

    Choose the apps and websites that pull you away. They stay locked until your goals are done.

  3. 3

    Finish and grow.

    Check off your goals, unlock your apps, and watch your mate hatch and grow over time.

What's inside.

A real lock

Locked apps show your mate and the goals you still have left, instead of the feed.

A mate who grows

Hoot, Bloop or Lumo hatch from an egg and grow up as you finish goals.

Check in before a break

Need a break anyway? Your mate asks why first, then you breathe together. A short break, then the lock comes back.

A mindful pause

Before any break: hold to confirm, then breathe with your mate. Each break of the day takes a little longer.

Screen time, honestly

Compare today with last week and see which apps drain your attention the most.

Focus sessions

Tap play on a goal and your mate puts on its headphones and studies with you, timer on your Lock Screen.

Ambience, widgets and nudges

Rain, forest, café or lo-fi while you work, widgets on your Home Screen and gentle reminders from your mate.

Take a look.
