Use case
An app blocker for goals, not just screen time.
Most blockers help you avoid apps in general. 12Focus is built for a more specific job: set a daily allowance for distracting apps on iPhone and Android. Completed goal-related actions earn extra minutes. App blocking is available on iPhone and Android. Android setup uses Usage Access and Accessibility permissions for the apps you select.
Why it matters
Willpower is weak when distraction stays frictionless.
If your goals depend on “just being more disciplined,” your hardest work is competing with the easiest tap on your phone. A goal app with blocking changes that equation. The distracting app is no longer one tap away. Your priority gets the easier path.
- On iPhone and Android, set a daily app allowance and earn minutes through completed actions.
- Earn additional app minutes by completing planned actions.
- Reduce the number of moments where you have to “choose better.”
How 12Focus approaches it
A blocker connected to execution, not avoidance alone.
Start from the goal
Your week is anchored to a 12-week direction and a small set of priorities that matter.
Make your actions worth more than a tick
Completed actions earn app minutes. When your allowance runs out, selected apps pause until midnight unless you earn more time.
Close the loop weekly
You do not just block distractions. You review whether the system actually moved your goals forward.
12Focus is for people who are serious about goals and tired of losing the day to noise.
Use it to make distracting apps more expensive and meaningful work easier to return to.
