About FocusQuest: Deep Work Timer
FocusQuest turns focus into a game you actually want to play — it locks the apps pulling you away from your work, then rewards you for staying the course. REAL LOCKS, NOT SUGGESTIONS Choose the apps that distract you, start a focus or study timer, and FocusQuest locks them — no snoozing, no five-second workaround. When time's up, a real lock-screen alarm makes sure you notice. YOUR OWN RULES Set fixed windows — say, 10pm to 7am — where distracting apps stay locked automatically, timer or not. Or go further with Always Blocked, for the apps you'd rather cut out of your life completely. A CHECK THAT MEANS SOMETHING No hollow "are you still there?" prompts. A quick movement challenge confirms you're actually present — not just tapping a button on autopilot. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Earn XP, level up, build a streak worth protecting, and clear daily quests that make consistency feel like momentum, not chores. BETTER WITH FRIENDS See how you stack up, cheer on their wins, send a wave — staying focused is easier when it's not just you. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR INTO YOUR DAY Dynamic Island & Live Activity keep your timer visible at a glance. Siri Shortcuts start and stop sessions hands-free. Spotlight surfaces your quests instantly. SharePlay lets you focus together on a call. Download FocusQuest and make breaking distraction the habit that actually sticks.
