Use the real app with a guard inside it, or a clean version in Idyll. Your choice, per app.

Videos and podcasts keep playing when you lock your phone.

Focus.A short break.Again.

Pick a length or rounds. Notifications stay quiet until it ends.

Today and Focus on your home screen.

Focus for 50 minutes on the magenta plate: lengths to pick, the eleven apps that pause, a 10 second wait to stop early, rounds or a schedule, a chime when it ends, and Notifications stay quiet

Phones restat night too.

Set a bedtime and a morning. In between, the apps rest.

Sleep as a night print: the sleeping cygnet under a halftone moon, Bedtime at 23:00, Up again at 07:00, a quiet note before bed, and Start Sleep

Free. For good.
