Features:

Engaging Gamification of Productivity: In a world full of distractions, staying on task can be a challenge. Focus Friend employs gamification to enhance your productivity journey. Every moment you dedicate to your focus sessions is directly tied to the well-being of your Bean. If you falter by turning off the timer prematurely, your Bean Friend experiences disappointment, reminding you of the importance of perseverance. This unique aspect of emotional investment not only keeps you motivated but also makes every successful session feel rewarding.

Visual Tracking for Enhanced Motivation: With the Live Activity feature, Focus Friend ensures that your progress is always visible, even when your phone is locked. This intuitive functionality allows you to keep tabs on your focus timer without any hassle. It promotes a sense of achievement as you witness the minutes ticking away, pushing you to reach your goals consistently. Each minute spent in focus not only boosts your productivity but also enhances your connection with your Bean Friend.

Banishing Distractions: The Deep Focus Mode is a game-changer for those who battle lingering distractions and interruptions. Activating this mode allows you to lock away distracting apps during your focus sessions, creating a distraction-free environment. This simple yet powerful feature helps to immerse you in your work without the constant pull of notifications or social media. By removing external disturbances, you can fully engage in your tasks and optimize your concentration.

Pomodoro Method Integration for Balanced Productivity: Embracing the Pomodoro technique, Focus Friend incorporates structured break timers to refresh your mind. After completing intense focus periods, you earn the time to decorate your Bean's room, serving as a delightful reward. This mechanism not only makes working feel less daunting but also promotes balanced productivity. Scheduled breaks are essential for maintaining motivation, and Focus Friend emphasizes this with engaging activities during downtime, ensuring you don’t burn out.

FAQs:

Instagram/TikTok/YouTube/etc. is not being blocked on iOS for Deep Focus Mode. Why?

We’re investigating this issue, but many people experience this issue if they have App Limits on their device, and bypass their App Limit by clicking “Ignore for Today.”Unfortunately doing this makes your Apple device give that app a free pass to bypass all screen limits for the day and won’t restart until the next day.The only fix for this is to not click “Ignore for Today” and abide by your preset limits.

How do I earn scarves?

Earn scarves by being a Focus Friend Pro subscriber/member. You earn them every time you complete a focus session!

How do I change my Bean’s skin?

On the main screen of the app, click the Edit Bean button (looks like a Bean with a pencil) and you’re able to choose which skin your Bean is wearing!

Deep Focus Mode’s Allow List isn’t working on iOS. What’s wrong?

We’re trying to fix this issue. If you have another app on your phone that uses Screen Time and blocks apps (like Opal and Forest), Apple has an issue being able to have both apps running at the same time. In the meantime, you can go to Settings > Screen Time and disable the other apps.

Can you add more rooms?

We’re working on it!

Why does Deep Focus Mode on iOS keep apps shut off too long?

This update is fixed! Please update to our latest version

Can the music play when the app is closed?

Yes! In Focus Friend Settings, toggle “Play Music When App is Closed” in the Sound section
