📝 About this app
Turn your phone into a distraction-free zone in seconds.
Choose the apps that pull you in Instagram, TikTok, games, email, or anything else and block them instantly with a single tap or scan. No complicated settings, no endless menus.
Here is how it works in real life:
• Studying at your desk
Place an NFC tag or QR code on your desk. When it is time to study, tap your phone on the tag or scan the code. Social media, games, and other distracting apps are blocked so you can focus on your notes, not your notifications.
• Deep work at the office
Stick a tag on your monitor or laptop. Before you start an important task, tap or scan. Messaging, email, and news apps are paused so you can stay in flow and actually finish that report.
• Reading and writing
Put a tag on your bedside table, notebook, or favorite reading spot. Tap or scan to block the apps that break your concentration so you can read, journal, or write without reaching for your feed every few minutes.
• Focus anywhere
Add tags to places where you tend to lose time the kitchen, couch, or coffee table. One tap or scan turns your phone from a distraction machine into a simple tool for the task at hand.
You are always in control:
• Pick exactly which apps to block for each tag or code
• Create different focus setups for work, study, or downtime
• Turn blocks on with a tap or scan, and off just as easily when you are done
Instead of relying on willpower every time you pick up your phone, change your environment so focus becomes the default. Set up your tags or codes once, then use them whenever you sit down to concentrate.
Choose your apps. Tap or scan. Stay focused.
