Features & Capabilities

Foqos helps you stay focused by blocking distracting apps and websites when it matters, then requiring a real-world switch to unblock. Turn your phone into a distraction-free zone in seconds. Choose the apps to block and control with a single tap or scan using NFC tags or QR codes.

Real-world use cases:

  • Studying at your desk: place a tag on your desk; blocks socials and games so you can focus on notes.
  • Deep work at the office: tag on monitor; blocks messaging, email, and news apps.
  • Reading and writing: tag on bedside or favorite spot; blocks apps that break concentration.
  • Focus anywhere: add tags to other places; one tap or scan turns your phone into a focused tool.

You’re in control: pick exactly which apps to block for each tag, create different focus setups, and turn blocks on/off with a tap or scan. Set up your environment to make focus the default, then use tags whenever you sit down to concentrate.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise Foqos as a free, open-source solution that effectively blocks distractions and reduces doomscrolling. They value the ad-free experience, easy setup, and flexible controls like scheduling and unlock methods (NFC/QR/barcode). The main drawbacks are occasional auto-lock reliability issues and some bypass risks through Settings/downtime, plus a few minor UI quirks. Despite these, many users call it life-changing for focus and productivity, especially since it’s free and account-free.
Pros
  • Free and open-source with no ads or paid subscriptions.
  • Highly effective blocking that reduces screen time and improves focus.
  • Flexible unlocking and scheduling options: use NFC tags, QR codes, or barcodes to unlock, and customize start/end times.
Cons
  • Occasional reliability issues with auto-locking; scheduled blocks don’t always trigger and may require manual QR unlocking.
  • Bypass risks: some users can still access Settings or downtime, allowing a way to bypass the block.
  • Occasional minor bugs or UI quirks affecting smoothness.

As the title says, this is the best way to break my screen time addiction with an NFC tag free, cheap and I like that you can see the streaks that game of fire so it makes me feel like I’m really making progress
