About this app

FOCUSED: APP BLOCKER

Focused is a location-based app blocker that automatically blocks distracting apps when you enter places where you want to stay focused.

Unlike traditional app blockers that rely on timers, schedules, or manual toggles, Focused uses "zones" to automatically control when distracting apps are blocked.

Create a zone at your office, gym, library, study area, or any place where you want fewer distractions.

Walk into your zone, and your selected apps are blocked automatically. Leave the zone, and they become available again.

No timer to start. No button to remember. Just location-based focus.

HOW FOCUSED WORKS

• Create a focus zone — Select a location and set the zone radius.

• Choose distracting apps — Select the apps you want Focused to block inside that zone.

• Automatic location detection — Focused uses your location in the background to detect when you enter or leave your focus zone.

• Block apps automatically — When you're inside an active zone, Focused prevents selected distracting apps from being used.

• Automatically restore access — Leave the zone and your apps work normally again.

USE FOCUSED ANYWHERE

Create different focus zones for the places where you want to stay productive.

• Office — Block social media and other distractions while working.

• Library — Create a distraction-free study environment.

• Gym — Stay focused on your workout instead of checking your phone.

• Study area — Block distracting apps while learning.

• Any focus location — Create a zone anywhere you want fewer digital distractions.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF APP BLOCKER

Most productivity and focus apps require you to start a timer, follow a schedule, or manually enable an app blocker.

Focused takes a different approach.

Your location becomes the trigger.

When you arrive at a focus zone, app blocking starts automatically. When you leave, blocking stops automatically.

Set your zones once and let Focused handle the rest.

PRIVACY

Focused is designed with privacy in mind.

Your location is used to detect when you enter or leave your focus zones and determine when selected apps should be blocked.

Focused does not collect or send your personal data to a server. Location and zone information are processed on your device.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE

Focused uses the Android Accessibility Service API to provide its app blocking functionality.

The Accessibility Service is used solely to detect the package name of the app currently in the foreground. This allows Focused to determine when you open an app that is on your block list while you are inside an active focus zone.

Focused does not use the Accessibility Service to:

• Read screen content
• Read messages
• Read passwords
• Read anything you type
• Collect personal information
• Display advertisements
• Perform analytics

No data gathered through the Accessibility Service is collected, stored, or shared with anyone.

All app-blocking processing happens on your device.

BUILD A MORE FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT

Your phone doesn't have to compete for your attention.

Create your focus zones, choose the apps you want to block, and let your location automatically activate your distraction blocker.

Set your zones once. Let your location do the rest.
