Focusly: App Blocker & Focus Live

Ever open Instagram "just for a second" and lose 40 minutes? Focusly helps you protect your focus — not by punishing you, but by gently reminding you what you chose to do instead. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ① Pick the apps that pull you in Choose from your installed apps — social media, games, shopping, whatever steals your time. ② Start a focus session Set a duration (25–90 minutes). Focusly watches quietly in the background. ③ Get gently redirected If you open a blocked app mid-session, Focusly steps in with a soft nudge — a breathing exercise, a simple question, or just a calm reminder of what you were protecting. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FEATURES • Focus Sessions — block distracting apps for a chosen duration. A quiet commitment to yourself. • Schedule Shields — set recurring time windows (study hours, bedtime, work) where specific apps are automatically paused. Set once, protected daily. • Gentle Redirects — no angry warnings or guilt trips. Just a calm screen that helps you pause and return to what matters. • App Picker with Categories — quickly select apps by category (Social, Entertainment, Games) or pick individually. • Always-on Protection — a lightweight background service ensures blocking stays active for the full session. No gaps, no silent failures. • Progress Tracking — see your focus streaks and daily stats. Celebrate consistency, not perfection. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO THIS IS FOR • Students losing study hours to short-form video • Anyone who's tried screen-time apps and found them too harsh or too easy to dismiss • People building focus habits who want accountability without guilt ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PERMISSIONS WE USE (AND WHY) • Accessibility Service — detects when you open a blocked app so we can redirect you instantly. We never read your screen content or personal data. • Usage Access — identifies which app is in the foreground. • Display Over Apps — shows the gentle redirect screen. • Notifications — keeps the blocker alive with a quiet status notification. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY FIRST All your data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no ads. We don't collect or share anything. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Focusly isn't about willpower. It's about making distraction just a little harder, so staying focused becomes the easier choice. Protect your time. Stay gentle with yourself.
