Coming to iPhone
Lock your phone.
Win the fight.
Focus Fortress locks the apps that eat your time. Finish your focus period and you beat a challenger, earn coins and build your fortress.
How it works
-
1
Start a focus period
Pick the few apps you actually need. Everything else stays locked until you're done. Then put the phone down.
-
2
Finish it, and you win
A challenger turns up partway through. Finish the session and you beat him. Every time. Your gear decides how hard you hit.
-
3
Build your fortress
Spend your coins on walls, towers and a keep, placed wherever you like. Kit out your champion with better equipment.
Every challenger is a real distraction
Procrastination, notifications, the endless scroll. Each one has a face, and you beat it by doing the work.
- Mindless ZombieChampion of "later". Feeds on a day wasted.
- Siren WargIts howl sounds exactly like a new notification.
- The Procrastination LichMaster of "just five more minutes".
Fair, every time
Finish and you win
No draws, no losing after an hour of work.
Nothing is destroyed
Give up early and the challenger can scorch a tile. You can always repair it.
No coins are taken
A setback costs you a repair, never your savings.
Nothing is for sale
Coins and equipment are earned by focusing. You can't buy them.
Questions
What is Focus Fortress?
An iPhone app that locks your distracting apps while you focus, and turns each focus period into a fight. Finish it and you beat the challenger, earn coins and build your fortress.
How does it block apps?
It uses Apple's own Screen Time tools. You choose the apps you need, and the rest stay locked until the focus period ends. Apple keeps your app choices private, so Focus Fortress never sees which apps you use or for how long.
What happens if I stop early?
Nothing is destroyed and no coins are taken. The challenger can scorch a tile of your fortress, and you can always repair it.
Can I buy coins or equipment?
No. Coins and equipment are only earned by focusing.
