What are focus sessions?
Short answer: A Focus session is on-demand blocking: choose 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes, and your selected apps stay locked until the timer ends. Perfect for a work sprint, study block, or phone-free dinner.
A Focus session is on-demand blocking. You tap once, choose how long, and the apps you picked are locked until the timer ends — then they quietly come back.
When people use them
- A 30-minute study or work sprint.
- A two-hour deep-work block with no notifications pulling you out.
- A phone-free dinner, workout, or bedtime wind-down.
Think of it as the opposite of a Block Schedule: a schedule runs automatically on a clock; a Focus session is you deciding "not now" in the moment. Most people use both. See it in action in how to stop mindlessly checking your phone.
