Bandwidth Focus

New: start a focus block from your home screen. One tap, a real deadline, real app blocking — and you still have to prove you finished before the win counts.

Bandwidth: Focus Redefined Most focus apps just measure time. Bandwidth checks that you actually finished.

Name the one thing that deserves your attention. A coach turns it into a concrete finish line before the timer starts. When time is up, you show the evidence — and the reward only unlocks if the proof matches what you committed to.

Why This Works When Timers Don't A timer rewards sitting still. Bandwidth rewards finishing. That's the whole difference, and it's why a session here feels like a commitment instead of a countdown.

Block the Apps That Pull You Away Pick the apps you can't be trusted with. During a session, they're genuinely shielded — this uses Apple's own Screen Time system, not a reminder you can swipe away.

Leaving Takes a Conscious Choice Every session gets a release word, shown once. To quit early, you type it from memory. Miss it and you get a moment that names the pull and still lets you leave. No shame, no punishment, no broken-streak guilt trip — just a beat of awareness between the urge and the exit.

Say No, and Count It The Shield tracks every distraction you turned down, tagged by reason, against a daily goal. Saying no is work. It should show up somewhere.

A Pack, Not a Leaderboard See how many people are focusing right now and how locked down the group is — all anonymous, no names, no rankings, nothing to perform for.

Make It Yours Six aura themes or your own custom colors, three timer styles, ambient backgrounds, focus sounds.

Start It from Anywhere Put the widget on your home screen and a block is one tap away — 20, 45, or 60 minutes. There's a Lock Screen version too, and a long-press on the app icon does the same job.

See Where Your Attention Went History keeps the receipts: minutes protected, sessions you verified versus ones you only logged, distractions turned down, and a twelve-week consistency grid. Day, week, month, all time.

Plan It Before You Need It Commit to a block tomorrow morning while tonight's version of you is still sensible. Bandwidth reads the gaps between your calendar events and suggests where focus actually fits. Turn it on and committed blocks are added to a calendar of its own — which you can hide or delete anytime. It never edits your existing events.

Private by Default Everything works on your device with no account. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the coach runs entirely on-device — your task and your proof never leave your phone. No ads, no tracking, no selling anything about how you spend your attention.
