◇◆ FocusGoal: Transform your smartphone time into goal achievement ◇◆

Before you know it, you're engrossed in social media, videos, news…

・Transform the time wasted on your smartphone into actions directly related to your goals.

FocusGoal is more than just an app blocker.

It helps you constantly remember your set goals, deadlines, and ideal future,
and presents you with the action you need to take now at the moment you're tempted, creating an environment that helps you achieve your goals.

*Some features are available through in-app purchases (auto-renewing subscription). Features differ between the free and paid versions.

◆What you gain from FocusGoal◆
・Transform time stolen by your smartphone into work / learning / fitness / side hustles / reading, etc.

・Maintain focus through a system, not just motivation

・Never forget your goals. Never get lost. [Clearly define your daily tasks]
- Stop the "impulsive opening" and [use your time for the future you truly desire]

◆Flexible App Blocking (Designed to suit you)◆
- [Complete Block] For when you want to forcibly block and concentrate
- [Time Limit] For when you want to prevent overuse and maintain balance
- [Number of Use Limit] For when you want to stop the habit of checking (control by the number of times you open it)

*Some blocking and restriction modes/limit expansions may require a subscription.

◆Suggests "Alternative Actions" when unblocking◆
The moment you try to unblock an app, FocusGoal asks:
"Instead of opening that app, what action can you take right now that brings you closer to your goal?"

Based on the concepts discussed in habit-forming methods such as Atomic Habits,
[It presents [substitutions (alternative actions)] to transform impulses into goal achievement.

• Examples
• Social Media → Start a 5-minute task / Read 1 page / Work out 1 set
• Videos → 10 minutes of learning / Take planning notes / Prepare for the future

*Some alternative action suggestions (number of items created, templates, advanced suggestions, etc.) may require a subscription.

【Insights: Visualizing "What You Could Have Done" in That Time】

"Just Enduring with Willpower" won't work.
FocusGoal visualizes the time you're losing from multiple perspectives.

• "What You Could Have Done" in That Time

• "How Much of a Difference Will This Make If You Accumulate It?"

• "How Will Your Future Change If You Change Your Behavior?"

*Some detailed insights (e.g., advanced analysis, period-based reports, comparative displays, etc.) may require a subscription.

◆Goal Management: A System to "Never Forget" Your Goals◆
This is the core of FocusGoal.

• Goals and Deadlines
• The Ideal Future That lies Beyond Your Efforts
• The Worst Future That lies Beyond Not Taking Action
• Therefore, the Action You Should Take Now (Alternative Action)
• Blocked Apps (Sources of Temptation)

And, the moment you try to open a blocked app,
you will be reminded of these things.

"What do I really want?"
This question will be inserted before your daily actions.

*Some goal registration limits and savable templates/routines may require a subscription.

◆Widget & Routine Notifications◆
• Home Screen Widget: Always displays goals, future, and actions to take
• Morning Notification: Sets your daily mindset to goal-achievement mode
• Night Routine Notification: Reflects on the day and prepares you for the next day

*Some widget and notification customizations (e.g., advanced display settings, detailed notification scheduling) may require a subscription.

◆Privacy◆
FocusGoal is designed to support you in achieving your goals.
Screen time-related data is processed on your device and is not sent to external servers.

◆About the Use of AccessibilityService API◆
FocusGoal uses the Android AccessibilityService API to implement its core functions: "app blocking," "time limits," "number of uses limits," and "displaying the blocking screen." This is necessary to achieve the app's purpose of supporting focus and goal achievement. [Purpose of using this API]
This API detects when an app you've designated as "blocked" appears in the foreground and overlays FocusGoal's block screen, restriction screen, and alternative action suggestion screen. This helps prevent impulsively opening apps like social media and video apps, encouraging users to replace them with actions that contribute to achieving their goals.

[Information Accessed]
• Package name of the currently displayed app
• App switching event (typeWindowStateChanged)

[Information FocusGoal Does Not Read]
• Text displayed on the screen
• Content you enter (messages, search keywords, passwords, etc.)
• Internal data and account information of other apps

[Data Handling]
• Acquired information is processed only within the device.
• It is not sent to servers or shared with developers or third parties.
• It is not used for advertising, analysis, or sales purposes.

[User Consent and Control]
• Before initial activation, a consent dialog explaining the purpose, information accessed, and processing policy within the device will be displayed. Only if you select "Agree" will you be directed to the Android accessibility settings screen.
• You can disable it at any time from Android's "Settings → Accessibility → FocusGoal"
• Even if disabled, functions other than app blocking (goal management, notifications, widgets, etc.) will remain available.

[About Automated Operations]
FocusGoal will not change settings or automatically perform operations of other apps without your permission. It will not perform gesture operations such as taps. Please note that this function utilizes the Accessibility API because other restricted APIs cannot achieve the same detection accuracy and occlusion performance.
