Focus app for Android

Put the phone down.
Or earn it back.

Stillpoint blocks the apps that eat your day. Want five more minutes of scrolling? Drop and do ten push-ups. The camera counts them.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

A calm, black-and-white app that does one job well.

Focus timer

15 to 90 minutes. Block the apps you pick, or block everything except the ones you allow.

Schedules

Block apps automatically every day, like 9 to 5 for work or 10 PM to 7 AM for sleep.

Daily limits

30 minutes of TikTok a day, then it's locked until midnight. Shared across a group of apps.

Push-up unlock

10 push-ups earn 5 minutes, for one app or for everything. Quitting a focus session early costs push-ups too.

Focus streaks

Finish a session every day to build a streak. Your last seven days at a glance.

Lock mode

Turn it on for a schedule and Settings is locked while it runs, so you can't switch Stillpoint off or delete it.

Earn your scroll

Your phone's camera counts every rep.

When an app is blocked, you get a choice: walk away, or earn it. Lean your phone on the floor, step back, and go.

Stillpoint can't connect to the internet. At all.

The app doesn't have internet permission, so nothing you do in it can leave your phone. That's checked by Android, not just promised by us.

Questions

FAQ

Why isn't it on the Google Play Store?

Not yet. Selling it directly keeps the price at $1.99 and gets it to you sooner. Updates are free, and the Play Store version will come later.

Is it safe to install an app from a website?

Android shows a warning for any app that isn't from the Play Store. That's normal. Stillpoint can't connect to the internet, so it can't send anything anywhere. Android lists its permissions under Settings → Apps → Stillpoint → Permissions, so you can check this yourself.

Why does it need Accessibility access?

That's how Android lets an app see which app is open, which Stillpoint needs to block it. Stillpoint only checks the app's name. It never reads text, messages or anything else on your screen.

What counts as a push-up?

Any kind: regular, on your knees, wide, diamond or incline. Filmed from the side or the front. You just have to go down and come back up. Waving your arms while standing, or moving the phone, doesn't count.

Can I just turn it off?

During a normal block, yes, in Settings. That's on purpose: Stillpoint is there to help, not to trap you. For blocks you really want to stick to, turn on Lock mode in a schedule. While it runs, Settings and uninstalling are blocked too.

Does it work on Samsung, Pixel, Motorola…?

Yes, any phone with Android 8.0 or newer. On Samsung, set Stillpoint's battery to "Unrestricted" (the app walks you through it) so the blocker keeps running.

What if I get a new phone?

Use the same download link to install it again. You can install it on any phone you own.

Is there an iPhone version?

It's being built. iPhone apps need Apple's approval to block other apps, which takes a while.
