Yes, in fact it makes your phone unusable too.

Introducing The Hardest Focus App: Pocket.

You can start focus only by physically putting the phone away

  - In your pocket (when outdoors)
  - Face down (while working/studying)
  - Or just Lock it.

But, if you get distracted and check your phone - You get a 5 second warning to correct yourself.

If you do not comply, all that progress will be murdered ruthlessly with a cold indifference to your feelings.

And for when you're deeply possessed by the algorithms, just tap twice on the back of your phone to summon the focus gods. It instantly opens pocket, locks you out of the phone and starts focus session.

However, during focus if your phone is locked and your mom calls

You can answer it and tell her you're locked in. The pact is broken only when you unlock the device.

Pocket is built on a core belief that true focus can only be achieved with physical disengagement and punishing bad behavior to build discipline.

This is my strongly opinionated take on focus with the Hardest Focus App

Focus is not a game. Focus is deadly.

Every year more deaths can be attributed to accidents that happen due to lack of focus than any natural cause.
