Koala the Companion App

Built by a student, for students. My goal is clear: to block distracting apps. To ensure that this app is free forever! No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.

Your koala helps you spend less time on your phone — gently.

Meet your koala, a cozy friend who lives in a little room that grows as you build calmer screen-time habits. No guilt, no pressure — just a kind companion cheering you on.

DAILY CHECK-INS Once a day, tell Koko how you're feeling, write a short reflection, and log your screen time. Stay under your goal to earn coins and XP — and keep your streak alive. Miss a day and your streak resets, so a little consistency goes a long way.

FOCUS BLOCK Need to concentrate? Start a focus session and Koala blocks the apps you choose for as long as you set. Try to leave early and Koko gently invites you to pause and take a breath first. A live countdown sits right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you always know how much time is left.

A ROOM THAT GROWS WITH YOU Spend your coins in the shop on décor — lamps, plants, a fireplace, and more. Level up to unlock new items and watch your koala's room get cozier the calmer your habits become.

CALM BY DESIGN • Soothing, wholesome design • Gentle nudges, never shame • Build streaks and see your progress • Block distracting apps during focus time • Private by default — your data never leaves your device

Koala Calm is built around a simple idea: small, kind steps lead to a calmer relationship with your phone. Check in, breathe, and let Koko keep you company.
