The app that forces you to actually focus.

Flip your phone face-down. The timer starts. Pick it up and you have 5 seconds to put it back, or the session ends.

How it works

Prepare (optional)

Before you start, an optional box-breathing exercise and a visual anchor help you settle in. Skip either step anytime.

Flip & commit

Place your phone face-down. The sensor detects it and your timer begins. Your phone becomes a physical barrier.

Deep work

Choose a 30, 60, or 90 minute block. Pick your phone up and you have 5 seconds to return it, or the session fails.

Features

Built to be put down.

No settings to tune, no feed to scroll. Focusutra does three things, and does them well.

Face-down mechanic

The timer only runs while your phone is face-down. Lift it and a 5-second countdown starts — put it back in time or the session ends.
