Task Blink: Focus Reminder Live

Stop losing your train of thought every time you open Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Task Blink is a lightweight focus app and task reminder that helps you stay on track when context switching pulls you away from deep work. Set one current task, choose your distracting apps, and get a gentle 2-second nudge the moment you drift — then get back to what matters. Unlike harsh app blockers, Task Blink doesn’t lock you out. It simply reminds you what you were actually working on, so you can choose to refocus or keep scrolling mindfully. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your current task — a short note like “Finish Q3 report” or “Study chapter 4” 2. Pick the apps that distract you — social media, games, news, messaging, and more 3. Get a gentle blink — when you open a selected app, a brief overlay shows your task for ~2 seconds, then gets out of your way KEY FEATURES • Current task focus — always know what you’re supposed to be doing • Up Next queue — line up your next 3 tasks and promote one when you’re ready • Custom app list — shield only the apps that actually pull you off track • Snooze when you need a break — pause reminders for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes • Home screen widget — see your current focus task at a glance • Shield on/off toggle — full control over when protection is active • Minimal and fast — no clutter, no guilt trips, just a quick reminder TASK BLINK PRO Upgrade for power users who want deeper focus control: • Unlimited shielded apps (Free: up to 3) • Customizable blink duration (1–5 seconds) • System-wide mode on Android — remind yourself on any app except your launcher PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST Your data stays on your device. Task Blink: • Reads only the foreground app name to detect app switches — never screen content, messages, or keystrokes • Does not sell your data • Keeps your task text and app selections stored locally PERMISSIONS (TRANSPARENT) Task Blink uses Android Accessibility to detect which app is in the foreground, and Display Over Other Apps to show your task reminder overlay. These permissions are used only for focus reminders — nothing else. WHO IT’S FOR • Students fighting procrastination during study sessions • Remote workers protecting deep work blocks • Anyone tired of opening their phone “for a second” and losing 20 minutes • People who want a mindful alternative to strict app blockers If Opal or One Sec feel too heavy, Task Blink is the gentle, task-first way to reduce phone distraction and improve productivity.
