About Cadence
Cadence is your tool for working with more focus, studying more deeply, and having a more intentional relationship with your phone.
Our day is full of interruptions: notifications, social media, messages. Small touches that, over time, fragment your attention and consume hours without you realizing it. Cadence was created to help you reclaim that time.
🛡️ PROGRAMMABLE APP BLOCKING
Create focus schedules and choose exactly which apps should be unavailable during that period. Configure by days of the week, start and end time.
Ideal for protecting your mornings, your concentrated work blocks, or the time before bed.
🔒 5 LEVELS OF PROTECTION
Each lock can have its own level of commitment to yourself:
• No Lock: deactivates with one tap
• Gentle: short 10-second interval before releasing
• Moderate: type a phrase to confirm it's really necessary
• Strict: hold the button down for 30 seconds
• Hardcore: total commitment, no option to deactivate until the time is up
The idea isn't to trap you, but to give you an extra layer of intentionality for those moments when willpower might fail.
🍅 POMODORO TIMER
The classic productivity technique, integrated into your workflow:
• Fully configurable focus and pause blocks
• Customizable alarm sounds
• Notifications at the end of each phase
• Sessions resumed even if you close the app
⏸️ PAUSE WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO
Need to check an important message? Pause the blocks for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. They resume automatically, without you needing to remember.
🌙 DESIGNED FOR DAILY USE
• Clean and straightforward interface
• Light and dark theme support
• Available in Portuguese and English
WHO IS CADENCE FOR?
• Students preparing for exams or competitions
• Professionals working remotely who need blocks of concentration
• Those looking to reduce time on social media or entertainment apps
• People seeking more peaceful nights, without screens late into the night
• Those who want to build healthier and more intentional digital routines
HOW IT WORKS
To apply the blocks, Cadence uses the Android Accessibility Service and displays a screen when you try to open an app that is in the focus period. The necessary permissions are explained step-by-step within the app and can be revoked at any time in the system settings.
Start today to give more rhythm to your days. Download Cadence and transform your relationship with your phone, one lock at a time.
