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.

Recent reviews

Game changer for me, the physical step of needing to scan an nfc tag (how I set it up, it’s flexible) is amazing. Much more helpful than the built in screen time. And it’s open source. And, bonus, being able to change the icon is nice too. My favorite is the little cat staring at the hourglass.
