About this app

Focus Friend is a cozy, gamified focus timer created by online educator Hank Green!

When you Focus, your Bean Friend will Focus. If you interrupt your Bean by turning off the timer, they'll be really really sad.

Complete your focus session, and this cute Bean will give you prizes to buy decorations to help furnish their room.

Perfect for anyone who struggles with long sessions of concentration. Focus Friend is for students and beyond.

Features:
- Live Activity: See your timer progress when your phone is locked
- Deep Focus Mode: Lock distracting apps during your focus sessions
- Break Timers: Decorate on your breaks, using the Pomodoro method of productivity
- Hundreds of decorations: Decorate your room in different fun themes
- Bean Skins: Try on different Bean types to customize your Focus Friend (Coffee Bean, Edamame Bean, Pinto Bean, Kitty Bean, or even Hank and John Green... Or rather Hank and John Bean!)

Focus Friend will even help you with getting started on your tasks and getting into the flow of your work or studying or even chores.

Stay Focused, Have Fun, Drink Water, and Don't Forget to be Awesome~

I have ADHD and have used my phone way too much this year. This app is working really well for me so far. I've used it for a few days now and got the paid version yesterday so I can select exactly which apps to allow when focusing. I've done a lot of chores, word puzzles, started reading a book and paid attention to what I wanted to watch. I'm using it a lot so I think it's definitely worth the money. I really hope they'll keep expanding. Thanks, Hank & Bria!! :)

Absolutely love the app! I desperately need a new focus aid every few weeks and this one fills that craving perfectly. I really love the art style of it. I also think the rewards are intuitive and fun. The only thing I wish was different was the button placement for starting focus. On my android phone it's placed exactly where I need to swipe to return to my homescreen, so I always accidentally press the focus button when I want to close out of the app. This is a minor issue though!

I struggle to keep reading when my phone is within arms reach. Focus Friend has given me a low key nudge to keep from reaching for it between chapters. I don't use the locking feature, so I can still get in if I need to, but the little nudge is just enough to keep me from doom scrolling endlessly. The app is also undeniably cute. I'm looking forward to new updates and new decorations!
