Collection: Phone-Free Focus
Phone-Free Focus
The fastest way to focus better isn't a new app — it's getting your phone out of the picture. This collection brings together the simplest tools for doing exactly that: signal-blocking pouches that stop notifications reaching your phone, and screen-free timers that let you run focus sessions without ever unlocking it.
Why the Phone Has to Go
A widely cited 2017 study found that people performed better on attention and memory tests when their phone was in another room than when it sat on the desk — even face down and silenced. Just having it within reach costs focus. The fix is physical distance, or the next best thing: a sealed pouch that keeps it offline.
