Your tree only grows while you stay on what you chose.
Choose apps and time
Choose which apps you will work in and for how long, from 1 to 180 minutes. Everything else stays out.
Stay on what you chose
While the right app is in front, time runs and the tree grows. The session does not pause: it runs until the end you set.

When you finish, it is planted and you earn coins. Left early? You have a few seconds to come back. If you do not, it wilts and stays there as a reminder.
Focus, collect coins, unlock new trees.
You start with Oak and Pine. Each completed session earns coins, and each new tree takes a few sessions and a handful of coins.

A wilted tree does not earn coins, but it stays on the island, faded, as a reminder. And no tree can be bought: every one is earned by focusing.
A workflow for every kind of day.
Blocking distractions is only the start. In Solofoco you build your own way to focus: steps, each in the right app, with breaks in between. No other focus app does this.
- In orderSteps run in order, each in its app. Finish one and the next begins.
- FreeYou pick a list of apps and a total time, and switch between them whenever you want. The island still grows the same way.
A break is a step between one session and the next. Each session itself runs straight through without stopping.

Step 1 of 4At the scheduled time, Solofoco calls you.
A routine is a fixed time tied to a workflow. When it is time, a notification appears and one click starts the workflow. Just need a nudge? Use a simple time-to-focus reminder.
Alerts come from the desktop app and show up even with Do Not Disturb on. Solofoco starts with Windows, and you can turn that off in Settings.
