Hi Product Hunt! We make FocusPass. We built it because every app blocker we tried failed one of two ways: too strict, so you switch it off the first time you genuinely need Instagram for work, or too easy, so 'ignore limit' becomes a reflex. FocusPass adds the missing middle option. A blocked app asks you to choose: Go Back to what you were doing, or take a short Pass (5, 10, 15 minutes) with a reason like Reply or Post. When the Pass ends, iOS relocks the app automatically, even if FocusPass is closed. Every Go Back is counted honestly as a Focus Save, with no invented 'minutes saved.' What we cared about: • Turn Off All Protection always works and is never paywalled • Essentials stay reachable • No account, no ads, no analytics SDKs; Apple keeps your app selections opaque even to us • Focus Zones and 25 to 90 minute Deep Focus sessions with a Live Activity The free tier is useful on its own; Pro adds more rules and unlimited sessions. We'd love feedback on the shield flow and what would make a Pass feel right for your routine.
