## About CogniFocus

CogniFocus is a focus timer and app blocker that reacts when you lose focus.

Most productivity apps just count down.

CogniFocus fights back.

Start a focus session, block distracting apps, and let the Goblin react the second your attention drifts toward TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or other distractions.

Built for people who say:
“just one quick check”
…and somehow lose the next hour.

FEATURES

• Focus Timer
Start protected focus sessions with preset or custom durations.

• Distraction Shield
Blocks selected distracting apps during active sessions before one scroll turns into a spiral.

• Goblin Companion
A reactive focus companion that notices distractions, celebrates clean sessions, and keeps you accountable.

• Recovery Nudges
Slip once, recover fast, and return to focus instead of abandoning the whole session.

• XP, Streaks & Progress
Earn XP, protect streaks, level up, and build momentum over time.

• Planned Sessions & Reminders
Schedule focus blocks and get nudged back before your day disappears.

• Focus Insights
Track focus trends, distractions, recovery patterns, and consistency over time.

WHY COGNIFOCUS?

Most focus apps feel passive.

CogniFocus reacts to behavior.

Instead of silently running in the background, the app notices attention slips, interrupts distractions, and pushes you back toward the session before autopilot scrolling takes over.

Built for:
• students
• deep work
• ADHD-style distraction loops
• study sessions
• doomscroll recovery
• people tired of passive timers

Available on Android.
iOS waitlist open.

Focus, but alive.

## Overview

### Who is it for?

Students, creators, developers, remote workers, ADHD-prone users, and anyone struggling with doomscrolling, app switching, or attention drift during work or study sessions.

### Problem

Most focus apps only track time. They do not help when users impulsively open TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or other distracting apps mid-session. One “quick check” often turns into a lost hour before the user even notices.

### Solution

CogniFocus combines a focus timer, app blocker, recovery nudges, streaks, XP systems, and a reactive Goblin companion that responds when users drift or finish strong. The app interrupts distractions in real time and helps users recover focus before the entire session collapses.

### What makes it unique

CogniFocus is designed as a behavioral focus companion instead of a passive productivity timer. The Goblin reacts emotionally to user behavior, making focus feel more alive, accountable, and engaging than traditional focus apps.
