Focus Bear: AuDHD app blocker app analytics for September 26

Focus Bear blocks the apps that eat your day, right on your phone, and walks you through your routine one step at a time. Built by a team with ADHD and autism, for anyone whose brain does not run on willpower. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS AND SITES - Block distracting apps and websites during focus sessions and routines - Soft blocking adds a gentle pause instead of a hard wall, so you can still get through when you genuinely need to - Choose which apps stay allowed during a specific habit - Blocking runs on your phone and on your computer, so the hour you saved does not quietly reappear on your laptop BUILD ROUTINES THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN Most focus apps only tell you what not to do. Focus Bear also tells you what to do next. - Morning and evening routines that guide you habit by habit, so starting is not the hard part - Custom routines, scheduled or on demand - Movement and break reminders so you are not welded to the chair - Streaks and completion animations, because the dopamine has to come from somewhere GET STARTED WHEN STARTING IS HARD - Smart to-do list that prioritises for you, so you are not paralysed by the list itself - Add tasks by voice or by screenshot - Late No More: escalating reminders, visual then spoken, so meetings stop sneaking up on you WHY BUILD IT FOR ADHD AND AUTISM Generic productivity apps assume you can just decide to focus. If that worked, you would not be reading this. Focus Bear is built around executive dysfunction rather than around willpower: it reduces the number of decisions between you and the thing you meant to do, and it removes the distraction before you reach it rather than asking you to resist it. WORKS ON YOUR COMPUTER TOO Focus Bear also runs on Mac and Windows using the same account. On Mac it can check whether a site is actually relevant to what you are working on right now, rather than relying on one fixed blocklist. BUILT ON LIVED EXPERIENCE Focus Bear was started by a late-diagnosed AuDHDer who got tired of hiding his laptop in a cupboard to stop himself checking email. The team is largely neurodivergent, and the approach draws on formal research with university partners. Free to download, with an optional subscription for full access. ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE Focus Bear uses the AccessibilityService API to detect when distracting apps and websites are opened, so it can block them in real time. This requires your explicit permission and is not used to collect personal or sensitive data.
