The focus app that asks "why?" before it says "no." Block any app, set daily limits, schedule quiet hours — without the willpower battle. Your phone, on your terms. WeFocus is the focus app that asks "why?" before it says "no." A calm, journal-quiet shield for the moments when the urge to check, scroll, or break a session hits — instead of forcing willpower against your worst impulses, you pause, reflect, and choose. It's not a streak machine. It's not a guilt trip. It's a quieter way to take your time back. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • BLOCK NOW — Lock distractions in seconds for an immediate focus session. Pick the apps, pick the duration, hit start. • DAILY LIMITS — Set a per-app or per-category time budget. WeFocus shields the app the moment you cross your daily limit, then resets at midnight. Built on Apple's Screen Time API — runs entirely on-device. • SCHEDULED BLOCKS — Block distractions on a recurring schedule. Work hours, evenings, sleep windows — set it once and forget it. • EXIT CHALLENGES — Tempted to break a session early? Choose your friction: a "Why?" reflection prompt, a focus-hold, a breathing exercise, math, typing, word-scramble, or pattern memory. Quick, mindful frictions that keep you honest. • FIVE COMMITMENT LEVELS — From a gentle nudge to a passcode-locked session you can't break out of. Pick the lock-in that fits the moment. • HOME SCREEN WIDGETS — Seven widgets: a live focus-session countdown, your profiles, active limits, scheduled blocks, quick actions, plus rotating focus tips and motivation. • LIVE ACTIVITY + DYNAMIC ISLAND — Your active session lives on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. A glanceable countdown, no need to open the app. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Everything stays on your device. WeFocus uses Apple's Family Controls, Screen Time, and Keychain APIs — no cloud, no tracking, no analytics on what you block. — DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE — WeFocus was built around three honest truths about phone habits: 1. Willpower is a finite resource. Friction beats discipline. 2. The urge to scroll is rarely about scrolling — it's about something you're feeling. A "why?" question is more useful than a "no" wall. 3. Quiet design beats loud productivity dashboards. Your focus app should feel like a journal, not a billboard. — WHO IT'S FOR — • Knowledge workers who can't stop checking Slack mid-deep-work. • Students who lose hours to TikTok, Reels, and Instagram between study blocks. • Parents who want quiet hours that actually hold. • Anyone trying to take back time from doomscrolling and digital noise — without shame, without streaks, without a willpower battle they always lose. — PRO — WeFocus is free to start. WeFocus PRO unlocks unlimited focus profiles, all five commitment levels, every exit challenge, deep analytics, and the strict-mode features (Limit Times, Always Block, emergency override). Yearly trial available, cancel anytime. — TERMS — Privacy: https://atabany.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-28aa2ea1ded68012bb56d72d5e4ecadb Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Auto-renewing subscription.

I set an automation for this app to open right after my alarm goes off, so first thing in the morning I block socials. This, along with some automation I set for black and white color filters, has completely changed the way I use my phone. For now setting one hour timers is effective- the small win of successfully having my first hour of the day off socials is great. I may buy the full version for more, but we’ll see how often I want to set it!
