FocusED is not a dashboard that hopes guilt will do the work. It is an enforcement tool that puts meaningful resistance between you and reflexive app use.
Three friction tiers. No engagement loops. No analytics. No cloud account. Just enough resistance to break autopilot before another scroll session begins.
Focus sessions, friction overlays, and private analytics work as one calm system instead of six noisy dashboards.
Instagram, YouTube, and X stay blocked until the timer ends.
Not a habit tracker. Not a wellness toy. A tool that makes your limits real.
Each app escalates independently. The first override is a pause. The next asks for intent. After that, FocusED stops negotiating.
A short countdown with no instant dismiss. Enough time to interrupt reflex before your thumb decides for you.
You type a phrase to continue. That sounds simple, but it is powerful because it defeats pure muscle memory.
When you keep pushing through, the friction becomes real. A longer wait with no skip path, because you chose stronger limits.
Every feature goes through the same test: does this make FocusED more useful, or just more used?
Set hard daily limits for the apps that eat your day. Crossing the line leads to friction, not advice.
Block distraction windows during work, study, sleep, or recovery. Your rules apply at the right time, automatically.
Start a block of time where selected apps stay shut. Useful when you need deep work without negotiating with yourself.
Sometimes the problem is not duration but repetition. Limit how many times an app can be opened in a day.
After an override, you can later decide whether it was worth it. That metric is about judgment quality, not compliance theater.
No backend. No analytics SDK. No account system. Your usage history stays on the device and disappears with the app.
FocusED watches the foreground so it can act at the right moment. That is serious access, which is why the app stays transparent and local-only.
Needed to show the friction layer the instant a limit is hit.
Used to detect the foreground app. Package name only, not screen content.
Used to read per-app duration so budgets, opens, and stats can work correctly.
The code is MIT licensed. The official name and identity stay protected so users can tell the real build from an imitation.
You can read it, audit it, fork it, and build from it. That matters because FocusED asks for unusual trust.
The official FocusED identity is reserved so unofficial releases cannot confuse users on stores or sideload channels.
The enforcement pipeline runs on-device: foreground app detection, budget evaluation, and friction overlays. No server needs to stay alive for your limits to work.
FocusED takes a position of unusual trust. The product answer is simple: do the work locally and avoid collecting anything that should not leave the device.
The manifest excludes internet access, so there is nowhere for your usage history to be sent.
No login, no profile, and no email collection standing between you and the app.
Sessions, limits, and reflections stay on-device in local storage.
Because the code is public, the trust model is visible instead of hidden behind policy copy.
