Data Not Collected · no account. Burrow is a focus timer and app blocker for students, built into your iPhone: start in one tap, and the apps that pull you away wait until you are done. FOCUS Countdown, 25/5 cycles (Pomodoro-style), 52/17 and Flowtime: pick a mode, pick a subject, start. Your timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with pause, skip and stop. Start from a Home Screen widget, a Control Center control, the Action button or by asking Siri. The time is always right, even after a restart. PROTECT Choose what to pause with Apple's own picker: apps, categories and websites. Three levels: Gentle (a guided breath before you open a paused app), Firm (the breath, then one tap to say why) and Strict (hard to get around, with a limited emergency unlock for when you truly need it). Leaving early is never a failure: the emergency unlock ends the session and Burrow keeps the minutes you earned. One recurring schedule is included, for study hours every weekday. REFLECT Gaston, a student mole, digs a little deeper with every focused minute and unearths finds along the way. Rate how the session went in one tap. See your streak (with rest days), your hours and how many times you went back to work. STUDY MODE (OPTIONAL) Turn it on in Settings if you revise for exams: add your subjects and exams, watch the countdown, and credit each session to a subject. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No Burrow server. Burrow never sees which apps you choose to pause, and your data never trains any AI. WHAT'S FREE STAYS FREE All timer modes, Strict sessions, the emergency unlock, two block lists, one schedule, 30 days of history, streaks, widgets, controls and Siri are free, and they stay free. Burrow Pro is an optional subscription (or a one-time purchase) for more: block lists beyond two, up to 15 schedules, unlocking with a typed sentence, history beyond 30 days and alternate app icons. Screen Time access is optional: without it Burrow is still a timer and a planner. Burrow uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks for you only, on your own iPhone.
