It is a focus challenge. Start a run, put your phone down, and don’t touch it. Your ship keeps flying while you stay away from the screen. The moment you touch the phone — the flight ends. One-tap start with a short countdown Achievements for milestones (minutes, planets, deep space) Ships to unlock and choose from Minimal, calm UI designed to disappear while you do real things Use it while working, studying, reading, writing, training, or doing anything that needs uninterrupted attention.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 Love how one elsewhere turns focus into a simple, high-stakes game: start a session, put the phone down, and let the “ship” fly while you get real work done.

@zeiki_yu Thank you! It's all true. You could also use it as a phone wallpaper while you're working, and the animation looks beautiful on the phone; it looks really nice.
Good idea ! Can't try, I have iOS 18.4, it requires 18.8

@boukar_sall Thank yout! Unfortunately, yes, the minimum version is 18.8. I'm not sure if I'll be downgrading the required version.

@hkklaus97 Thank you! That's the whole point! I've tried different ways to put my phone away, and I can't say this is the perfect solution, but it's one of the best for me. I hope it's helpful for you too!

Lowkey love the “touch = crash” rule… brutal but fair. How do you handle legit stuff like calls, alarms or music controls? Can you whitelist/allow notifications without ending the run?

@amitpsharma These are important questions, and I'm thinking about them a lot. I'll explore what controls can and can't be added, but for now, my general philosophy for the app is habit formation, and therefore, it's best to avoid touching your phone at all while concentrating.

@yevhen_h Looks awesome! Any plans of launching one elsewhere for Android?

@tanoy27 Thank you very much! Yes, I've thought about creating this app for Android, but I haven't started yet.
Great idea! I constantly turn off apps, but from time to time I unconsciously pick up my phone to see who messaged me.
It would also be cool to add text to the timer like: “Productive time — XX minutes.” That would psychologically make me less likely to stop it.

@mykyta_semenov_ Thank you! Excellent observation about the "Productive Time – XX minutes" text. I'll add it in the next update.
Currently, this text only appears if you share your result. It's on the card that's being generated.
This feels similar to focus flight–style apps, but I really like the “touch = crash” rule — it makes distraction immediately tangible.
For users who’ve tried similar focus gamification tools before, I’m curious: what would you say is the key reason to choose this one? The minimal, high-stakes approach is a bold take.

@youbai_felix Thank you for the feedback!
I’d like to mention that this reflects my personal philosophy. I believe that meaning is more important than form, and that form should be shaped by meaning. That’s why I really appreciate minimalism in interfaces and always try to remove anything unnecessary.
It felt like this approach fits well for an app focused on building habits around focus and concentration.
@yevhen_h Thanks for sharing — that really resonates with me.
The “meaning before form” philosophy comes through clearly, and I love how the minimal design supports real focus instead of over-gamifying it.
Also, the background music is a great touch — it genuinely helps me stay immersed and focused. Looking forward to what’s next.
