Fokusd - App Blocker

Free forever, nonprofit app blocker for iOS. Built by someone who struggled with phone addiction too. Hard to bypass, no premium tier, no ads. Download now.

You unlock your phone 80+ times a day. Most of those aren't choices — they're reflexes. Fokusd uses AR technology to add one small moment of friction between you and your most distracting apps. Instead of mindlessly opening social media, you'll scan a real, physical photo first. That 5-second pause is enough to break the autopilot — and let you make a real choice.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose a photo that matches something physical you have — a poster on your wall, a picture on your fridge, a framed photo on your desk
2. Select which apps you want to restrict
3. When you try to open a restricted app, scan your photo in the real world
4. That moment of getting up and deliberately scanning gives your brain time to ask: "Do I actually want this?"

WHY THIS WORKS Phone addiction isn't about willpower — it's about environment design. Apps like Instagram and TikTok are engineered to be frictionless. Fokusd adds friction back. When opening an app requires walking to your fridge, you'll naturally check it less — without forcing yourself.

NO HARDWARE REQUIRED Unlike apps that need expensive special hardware, Fokusd works with what you already have. Any printed photo, poster, or image works. Your phone's camera and AR capabilities do the rest.

100% FREE No subscriptions. No ads. No data collection. Fokusd was built as a tool that should exist, not as a business.
