Why AstroFocus
The biggest distraction you own becomes the thing that protects your focus.
Your phone stops fighting you
Focus Mode limits the other apps while you fly. The thing that pulls you away becomes the thing keeping you on task.
One number you won't want to drop
Every flight is scored, and every score moves your average. Keeping it up is the reason you start the next session instead of putting it off.
Focus you can repeat tomorrow
Timed breaks and nudges for water, eye rest, and standing up. Your afternoon ends up worth as much as your morning.
Every minute takes you further
Focused time turns into space distance. Every session moves you further out, from the Sun past Neptune and beyond.
What it does
It's a focus timer.
The difference is you get somewhere.
Three ways to fly.
Standard is the classic 25 minutes of focus and 5 of break.
Custom runs from 30 minutes to 8 hours, with your own breaks and smart reminders.
Infinity has no timer at all, so you land when the work is done.
Whichever you pick, your ship keeps travelling for as long as you hold out. Landing scores the session and moves you further along the map, and you can post the flight to the community feed if you want to.
Flight Modes
Standard runs 25 on, 5 off, with four markers filling as each session lands.
Custom adds your own breaks and smart reminders.
Infinity has no limit, so you can test yours.
Focus Mode
Limits access to other apps while you're flying. iOS enforces the block itself, so it's a wall and not a nudge.
Background Flights
Lock the phone and the flight keeps going. Time is measured from the clock, not counted while the app is awake, so twenty minutes face down is twenty minutes flown. Only measured time in other apps counts against your score.
Daily Streaks
One flight a day, counted. A ten-minute flight keeps it alive, and the badge changes as the run gets longer.
Flex Your Focus
Turn a finished flight into a card worth posting. Four themes, and any flight from the last 24 hours can still be shared.
Resume a Flight
Close the app mid-flight and it's waiting when you come back. Pick it up where you left it, or land it and keep what you flew.
Switch Views
Tap the spacecraft mid-flight and the space animation drops away, leaving just the timer. For the times a drifting rocket is the wrong thing to have on your screen at work. Another tap brings it back.
Break & Reminder Notifications
Hydration, eye rest, stand up, plus your own custom alerts. They arrive as notifications, so a locked phone no longer means a missed break.
Saved Flights
Build a custom flight once and keep it. The setups you come back to are one tap away instead of rebuilt from scratch every time.
Focus Reports
Every flight is scored, and each one pulls your average focus score up or down. Total focused time stays on screen even as the 25-minute countdown resets.
Lofi Music
Built around the frequencies that help you settle into deep work. Calm enough to stay in the background instead of pulling your attention to the music.
Ambient Sound
Real background noise instead of music. Pick nature, urban or people, and let it run underneath the flight.
Productivity Tools
Calendar, notes, and to-dos in one place, whether you're flying or not.
Free Accounts
Start flying without signing up. Your flights, score and streak are kept from the first launch.
Insights Monthly
Your average score, your hours flown, and whether the distraction is coming from breaks or from other apps. Plus your best time of day, your strongest day of the week, and how the last 7 or 30 days compare with the period before.
Weekly Report Monthly
Monday morning, last week in one screen: flights, focused time, average score, distance travelled.
Flight History Calendar Monthly
Your whole flight history as a calendar or as a list, whichever you prefer. Flown days are marked on the calendar, and every month comes with its own overview.
Space Progress Map Monthly
The last destination you reached and the one you're heading for, side by side. Tap the ship for your total distance and exactly how far is left to the next arrival.
Exploration Cards Monthly
Each place you pass unlocks a card you can go back and read, so the hours you put in end up teaching you the solar system.
New Spacecraft Monthly
The ship on your screen is the one you earned. New ones open up as the distance grows, so what you fly says how long you've been at this.
Leaderboards Monthly
Weekly and all time in one control, with your own row marked so you can find yourself.
Community Feed Monthly
Share your flights, message other explorers, and give someone a reason to launch.

FAQ
Before you launch.
Is AstroFocus free to use?
Yes. Every main feature is free and unlimited: all three flight modes, Focus Mode, break reminders, focus reports and your focus score. Your progress keeps recording the whole time you use the app, so if you move to AstroFocus Monthly later, your full history is waiting from your very first flight. The subscription adds the long-term side: insights, the space progress map, spacecraft, leaderboards and the community feed.
Can it block other apps?
Yes. Start a flight, open the tools button, and turn on Focus Mode in the settings. iOS enforces the block itself for as long as the flight is running, so the apps stay shut rather than just discouraged.
Does it count if I get distracted?
Only during an active flight, and only as time. If you leave for another app, those seconds are measured and they pull your focus score down. A locked screen is not a distraction and costs you nothing. AstroFocus records how long you were away, never what you were doing.
Does it actually help me focus?
It works on the two things that break most sessions. It removes your biggest distraction by locking the other apps away, and it gives you something to lose, because the flight has a clock, a score and a destination attached to it. Walking away from that is harder than walking away from a to-do list. It will not do the work for you, but it makes starting easier and stopping harder.
Who is it for?
Anyone whose day gets eaten in ten-minute pieces. It is built for students who study for exams, developers and designers who need long uninterrupted blocks, writers on deadline, and remote workers with nobody around to give the day a shape. If you already use a Pomodoro timer it will feel familiar straight away. If timers have never stuck for you, the progression is usually the part that changes that. People with ADHD often get on well with it, because the block is external and the progress is something you can see. It is not a medical tool and does not claim to be.
What are the three flight modes, and why three?
Because focused work comes in three shapes. Standard is the classic Pomodoro cycle, 25 minutes on and 5 off, which suits study sessions and admin where attention fades quickly. Custom runs from 30 minutes to 8 hours with your own breaks and reminders, for deep work you can plan around. Infinity has no timer at all, for the sessions where you cannot know how long the work will take and a countdown would only get in the way.
