Coral is a focus timer and app blocker for Android that turns your attention into a living coral reef. Focus and a coral grows; give up to scroll and it withers. Block or limit distracting apps, even just YouTube Shorts.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I opened my phone to check the time. Twenty minutes later I was three reels deep and could not tell you how I got there.
That was most days. I tried the usual focus timers. A plant grows while you sit still, fine, but nothing actually stopped me from closing it and opening Instagram anyway. The timer was a suggestion, not a wall.
So I built Coral. Start a session and you plant a coral. Stay focused and it grows into your reef. Give up early and it withers, and the dead one stays in the reef as a reminder.
Then I added a wall. Strict blocking for selcted apps. Daily limits per app, so once you hit your limit it locks until tomorrow. And a separate switch for YouTube Shorts, so you can kill the Shorts feed without losing the rest of YouTube.
24 coral species to collect, each with its own art. Coins you earn from focus minutes and spend in a shop.
I built this solo, and nothing you do in the app leaves your phone. No account, no ads, no analytics.
It is live on Google Play now. Install it, pick the apps that keep stealing your time, and plant your first coral.
PS: if your phone already leaves you alone, you do not need this. It is built for people who keep losing the afternoon and want it back.
