FocusGate: Foco y Aprendizaje

Synaptic SpA

About this app

A pause between impulse and action.

FocusGate helps you regain control of your phone time. It's not just an app blocker: when you're about to open a distracting app, it offers a short, helpful pause. Complete it, and you can open the app. If not, you can go back to what you were doing.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps that are stealing your time (social media, videos, games).

2. When you open them, a short challenge appears instead of the app.

3. Complete the challenge and earn access minutes. You decide how many: 1 question is worth 5 minutes, 10 questions are worth 60.

CHOOSE YOUR BREAK TYPE
- English: real-life situations, vocabulary, and listening comprehension, with levels from survivor to fluent, plus games and practice tools.

- PAES Preparation: exercises in biology, physics, chemistry, history, math, and reading comprehension.

- Driver's License (Class B, Chile): exam questions with images and timed practice tests.
- Activate your body: squats, planks, or lunges, either with your phone or in manual mode.

- Return to yourself: guided breathing exercises, mindful pauses, and questions to curb the urge to automatically open the app.

- Fun Facts: an interesting tidbit before continuing.

PLUS
- Focus Keys: three daily entries without a challenge, for when you really need it.

- Time Keys: practice within the app and save your logins.
- Medals and streaks that recognize both completed challenges and times you chose not to log in.

- Your Brainiac: a mascot that reflects your consistency.

- Friends: share your code with someone you trust and keep each other company. No rankings or comparisons with strangers.

- Works offline and without an account. An account is optional.

CLEAR PRIVACY
- Your list of protected apps, your answers, and your notes stay on your phone.

- Camera processing is done on the device: no data is saved or shared.
- No advertising, no advertising profiles, and no data sales.

PERMISSIONS USED
- Usage access: to know when you open a protected app.

- Display over other apps: to place the challenge on top of the app.

- Camera: only in the Activate Your Body challenges.

- Microphone: only in the English speaking practice sessions that you initiate.

- Notifications: to keep the protection active.

Regain your focus, improve your habits, and learn something new.
