Social media, video and games are out. Calculator, dictionary and music stay in.
The physical distraction blocker
Silence the noise.
Fokus is an NFC block that locks away the apps that steal your attention. Tap it to focus. To get them back, you'll have to walk back to it.

The problem
You unlock your phone dozens of times a day, and every time it takes minutes for your attention to come back. It isn't a willpower problem: apps are built to hook you. Fokus puts the friction back in your hands.
One tap
Noise.
Calm.
Notifications, alerts, deals… Everything is fighting for your attention.
One tap on the block and the apps you choose disappear until you go back for it.

How it works
01
Choose your distractions
In a free app (Foqos on iPhone, Switchly on Android) you set up profiles (Study, Work, Night…) and choose which apps and websites each one shuts out.
02
Tap the block
Hold your phone near the Fokus Block. One tap and the apps you chose are gone. No timers to cheat.
03
Get your time back
Leave the block in another room. To unlock, you have to get up and go get it. That little bit of friction changes everything.

Create a mode for every part of your day.
Deep work
90-minute sessions with no email or messaging. Important calls still come through.
Family
Screen-free dinners. Your phone goes back to being just a phone.
Night
No doomscrolling in bed. Leave the block in the living room and get some sleep.
Fully offline
Weekends, holidays, a walk outside. Just calls and maps.
Why it works
Physical friction, not willpower.
No battery
Passive NFC. You'll never have to charge it.

Private by design
The block is a passive NFC tag: it has no connection and collects no data.
Always reachable
Only the apps you choose are blocked: calls and texts keep working.
Scheduled modes
Schedule blocking in the app and end it by tapping the block.
One block, many phones
Every phone at home can use the same block with its app.

Do I need to charge it?
No. The block uses passive NFC: it draws power from your phone when you tap it. No cables, no batteries, ever.
Which phones does it work with?
iPhone (iOS 17.6 or later) with the free Foqos app, and Android phones with NFC with the free Switchly app. There's a step-by-step guide at fokusblock.com/en/get-started.
What if there's an emergency?
Only the apps you choose are blocked: calls and texts keep working. On Android, Switchly also includes an emergency unlock, limited per day.
Can I block only some apps?
Yes. In the app you create profiles (Study, Work, Night…) and choose which apps and websites each one blocks.
How long does shipping take?
We ship from Spain. Delivery in 2–5 business days across the EU. Free shipping.
What if it's not for me?
You have 14 days from delivery to return it, no questions asked. Full refund.
Do I have to pay for the app?
No. Foqos is free, and so is Switchly's core app (it has an optional Premium you don't need). No accounts or subscriptions.
