About this app

FocusForge helps you build consistent study habits and establish thoughtful boundaries against digital distractions. Plan your study targets, launch customizable focus sessions, and watch your daily progress grow.

PLAN A DAY OR A WEEK
• Target Goals: Set a study target from 0 to 12 hours and allocate dedicated time across your subjects.
• Flexible Planning: Daily plans focus on today's goals; weekly schedules reset automatically every Monday.
• Visual Progress: Monitor your daily completion with dynamic progress rings.

FOCUS YOUR WAY
• Pomodoro & Custom Presets: Use standard Pomodoro intervals or design and save your own study routines.
• Ambient Sounds: Mix background ambient sounds to build an immersive study environment.
• Aesthetic Clock Faces: Personalize your focus timer with distinct clock designs.
• Long-Term Tracking: Review your detailed session logs, weekly metrics, and monthly summaries.

SET APP BOUNDARIES
• Thoughtful Blocking: Set daily usage budgets for distracting apps or block them strictly during focus sessions.
• Transparent Permissions: App blocking relies on optional Usage Access and Overlay permissions. A persistent notification allows you to stop the background boundary service at any time.

DISTRACTION-FREE YOUTUBE (OPTIONAL)
• Feed & Shorts Filtering: Block YouTube Shorts and distracting feeds to keep educational video sessions on track.
• Privacy-First Accessibility: YouTube filtering requires Android Accessibility service. FocusForge only reads active screen states to intercept distractions—no personal data, keystrokes, or account information is ever recorded or shared.
• Disclaimer: FocusForge is an independent productivity tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by YouTube or Google LLC.

STREAKS & COMMUNITY (OPTIONAL)
• Study Streaks & Badges: Maintain discipline, build streaks, and unlock achievements.
• Groups & Leaderboards: Join optional study circles. Only your display name and high-level progress are shared—detailed logs remain strictly on your device.
• Home Screen Widgets: Keep your targets in sight with Retro clock, Daily Goal, and Weekly Progress widgets.

PRIVACY & USER CONTROL
• No Ads & Open-Source: 100% free, telemetry-free, and community-driven.
• Use Without Permissions: Use FocusForge as a standalone focus timer without granting any blocking permissions.
• Account & Data Control: Sign in with Google or email for cloud sync. You can sign out or request full account and data deletion at any time directly in-app or via our web portal.

What’s new

• Added a clear in-app disclosure and consent before FocusForge reads the list of installed apps. Nothing is read until you tap Agree, and the list never leaves your phone. Setup and privacy screens improved and translated.
