When you Focus, your Bean Friend will Focus. If you interrupt your Bean by turning off the timer, they'll be really really sad.

Perfect for anyone who struggles with long sessions of concentration. Focus Friend is for students and beyond.

- Deep Focus Mode: Lock distracting apps during your focus sessions
- Break Timers: Decorate on your breaks, using the Pomodoro method of productivity
- Hundreds of decorations: Decorate your room in different fun themes
- Bean Skins: Try on different Bean types to customize your Focus Friend (Coffee Bean, Edamame Bean, Pinto Bean, Kitty Bean, or even Hank and John Green... Or rather Hank and John Bean!)

Focus Friend will even help you with getting started on your tasks and getting into the flow of your work or studying or even chores.

Stay Focused, Have Fun, Drink Water, and Don't Forget to be Awesome~

Ratings and reviews

App is great in concept but there's no way to report bugs and there are a few of them. On my version of Android, it will create multiple instances of a notification if I close the app "tab". Even with all permissions enabled for deep focus mode, if I close the app's "tab", I can still access non-focus apps like Instagram and Discord. edit: updated complaints with the bug fix.

I love it for sleeping, just getting off my phone for a few minutes in between activities to clear my mind and reading. I wish there was a black cat bean for Halloween, and different music (maybe for sleeping?), and I heard talk about more rooms which would be cool. focus house that timers built. oh, longer timers? but, it's really great so far, and I'm really pleased with it.

I love this little app! It is the perfect incentive to leave my phone alone while I'm focused on other things. One of the best uses so far has been setting it for 15-30 minutes when I'm crawling in bed. It helps me not pick up my phone and do all the last-minute things I think of and then end up distracted and awake until 2:00 am. I get to settle well and still have my phone at arms reach when I wake up or if there is an emergency.
