TigerGenie: Focus Mode with One Tap

TigerGenie is a simple and powerful tool that helps families disconnect from phones and reconnect with each other. With one tap of a tiny NFC-enabled keychain, TigerGenie starts Focus Mode and pauses distracting apps. That physical tap creates a deliberate pause that helps break compulsive phone checking.

Whether it is family dinner, study time, or bedtime, TigerGenie helps everyone stay present by reducing screen distractions.

- Healthy modeling: Parents and kids can practice focus habits together.

Why TigerGenie Works

TigerGenie uses the science of friction. A physical action (tapping the NFC tag) adds a small barrier that interrupts automatic scrolling and encourages intentional choices. Because Focus Mode starts from a deliberate real-world action, it is easier to build lasting habits.

Accessibility on Android (AccessibilityService)
On Android, TigerGenie uses the AccessibilityService API only for Focus Mode/app blocking behavior after the user enables it in system settings.

- TigerGenie listens for app/window state changes to know which app is currently in the foreground.
- During an active focus session, if a user opens an app they selected to block, TigerGenie can return the user to the Home screen.
- This service is user-controlled and can be turned off at any time in Settings -> Accessibility -> Installed apps -> TigerGenie.
- TigerGenie does not use AccessibilityService to change system settings without consent, bypass Android privacy controls, or record call audio.
- For this blocking feature, TigerGenie does not read or collect on-screen text, typed content, or passwords.
