iPhone
Block distracting apps automatically when Focus mode activates. Custom filters, category shields, and total screen time control. Simple, powerful, private.
YOU ALREADY KNOW THE FEELING
You sit down to work. You open your phone for one thing — and 40 minutes later you're deep in social media, watching clips, scrolling through nothing.
It's not your fault. These apps are designed to keep you hooked.
SmartFocus blocks distracting apps the moment you activate Focus mode — so you can actually get things done.

THE PROBLEM WITH WILLPOWER
Every day, you tell yourself you'll stay focused. But then:
- You pick up your phone "just to check"
- One notification leads to ten minutes of scrolling
- You open Instagram "for a second" and lose half an hour
- By the end of the day, you wonder where the time went
Sound familiar?
Willpower alone doesn't work against apps built to be addictive. You need a system.

HOW SMARTFOCUS WORKS
SmartFocus connects directly with iOS Focus modes.
When you activate a Focus mode — Work, Study, Sleep, or any custom one — SmartFocus instantly blocks the apps you've chosen. No delays. No workarounds. Just a clean shield screen reminding you: you're in focus mode.
1. Create a filter preset (e.g., "Work", "Study", "Deep Focus")
2. Choose which apps and categories to block
3. Link it to your iOS Focus mode
That's it. Focus on, distractions off.

CUSTOM FILTERS FOR EVERY MOMENT
Not all focus is the same.
During work, you might block social media but keep messaging open. During study, you might block everything except reference apps. At night, you might block games and news.
SmartFocus lets you create unlimited filter presets — each with its own name, color, and app selection. Switch between them effortlessly as your day changes.
------
BLOCK APPS AND ENTIRE CATEGORIES
Don't waste time picking apps one by one.
SmartFocus lets you block entire categories at once — all social media, all games, all entertainment — with a single tap. Or get specific and choose individual apps. Your call.
------
THE SHIELD SCREEN
When you try to open a blocked app, you won't see the app.
Instead, you'll see a calm shield screen telling you exactly which filter is active. A simple reminder that you chose to focus — and a gentle nudge to get back on track.
No guilt. No lectures. Just clarity.
------
BUILT FOR PRIVACY
SmartFocus uses Apple's Screen Time framework. Your data stays on your device. We never see which apps you use, which ones you block, or how you spend your time.
Your focus is your business.
