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.
