"As a freelance software engineer, my phone used to be my biggest distraction. I stuck an NFC tag on my monitor, and now the physical act of tapping my phone to lock social media has completely rewired my focus. It has turned my desk into a sanctuary where deep work is the default, not the exception."

"I am a grad student constantly battling doomscrolling. Foqos is the first app that actually works because it is so frictionless. I have a QR code on my library carrel and a tag on my bedside table. It has helped me reclaim hours of my day that I used to lose to TikTok and Instagram."

About the app

Everything you need to know about Foqos - Tap to Block.

Description

Turn your phone into a distraction-free zone in seconds. Choose the apps that pull you in Instagram, TikTok, games, email, or anything else and block them instantly with a single tap or scan. No complicated settings, no endless menus. Here is how it works in real life: • Studying at your desk Place an NFC tag or QR code on your desk. When it is time to study, tap your phone on the tag or scan the code. Social media, games, and other distracting apps are blocked so you can focus on your notes, not your notifications. • Deep work at the office Stick a tag on your monitor or laptop. Before you start an important task, tap or scan. Messaging, email, and news apps are paused so you can stay in flow and actually finish that report. • Reading and writing Put a tag on your bedside table, notebook, or favorite reading spot. Tap or scan to block the apps that break your concentration so you can read, journal, or write without reaching for your feed every few minutes. • Focus anywhere Add tags to places where you tend to lose time the kitchen, couch, or coffee table. One tap or scan turns your phone from a distraction machine into a simple tool for the task at hand. You are always in control: • Pick exactly which apps to block for each tag or code • Create different focus setups for work, study, or downtime • Turn blocks on with a tap or scan, and off just as easily when you are done Instead of relying on willpower every time you pick up your phone, change your environment so focus becomes the default. Set up your tags or codes once, then use them whenever you sit down to concentrate. Choose your apps. Tap or scan. Stay focused.
