You've probably tried an app blocker before. Maybe two or three. Freedom, AppBlock, One Sec, Apple's Screen Time or Google's Digital Wellbeing. And you noticed: you bypass them all.
That's not a willpower problem. It's a design problem. When the block lives on your phone, the workaround also lives on your phone. Tap “Ignore Limit.” Delete the app. Change settings. In the moment you impulsively reach for your phone, you're not rational enough to respect a software block.
FocusKey solves this by separating control from your phone. Lifting the block requires a physical card. It's in your wallet, your drawer, at your roommate's place. You have to get up, walk over, grab the card and scan it. Those ten seconds are enough for your rational mind to catch up with the impulse.
For students: block your phone while studying
You sit down in the library, plan to study for three hours, and twenty minutes later you're on Instagram. Not because you lack discipline, but because Instagram was built by hundreds of engineers to make you do exactly that.
With FocusKey, you scan the card before you start studying. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat are gone. Not “muted” or “with a reminder after 30 minutes” – gone. When you're done, go home and scan the card.
For freelancers & professionals
When your income depends on what you get done in eight hours, every half hour lost to social media is money. FocusKey doesn't replace your motivation, but it removes the biggest distraction from your workflow.
Scan in the morning. Work for eight hours. Scan in the evening. Done.
Your streak grows with you
In the FocusKey app, a plant grows as long as you maintain regular focus sessions. Sounds simple – but it works surprisingly well as motivation. After two weeks, you don't want to break the streak. After a month, it's routine.
