How does FocusFit help improve focus and concentration?

FocusFit uses a science-backed approach to rebuild your attention capacity through progressive training. The app combines structured focus sessions with AI-powered coaching, app blocking via Screen Time, and optional Apple Watch heart rate monitoring. Unlike simple timers, FocusFit adapts to your performance—starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing difficulty as you improve. Most users see measurable improvements in their Focus Quality Score within 2-3 weeks of consistent use.

Do I need an Apple Watch to use FocusFit?

No, an Apple Watch is not required. You can use the full training system, app blocking, and AI coaching on iPhone alone. However, an Apple Watch enhances the experience with on-wrist session control, real-time heart rate monitoring during focus sessions, and gentle haptic alerts when your attention drifts. Apple Watch features are available with FocusFit Pro.

How is FocusFit different from a Pomodoro timer?

Pomodoro timers simply count time in fixed intervals. FocusFit is a complete focus training system that builds your attention capacity over time. Key differences: 1) Progressive training phases that adapt to your skill level, 2) AI coaching that learns from your sessions and provides personalized recommendations, 3) App blocking to remove distractions, 4) Apple Watch integration for real-time focus monitoring, and 5) A Focus Quality Score that tracks your improvement. FocusFit trains focus as a skill, not just tracks time.

What is the Focus Quality Score?

The Focus Quality Score is a 0-100 metric that measures the quality of each focus session. It factors in session completion, interruption frequency, and consistency of focus (based on heart rate patterns if you use Apple Watch). The score helps you track improvement over time and gives the AI data to personalize your training. Most beginners start around 50-60 and can reach 80+ with consistent practice.

Is FocusFit good for people with ADHD?

While FocusFit is not a medical treatment for ADHD, many users with attention challenges find the structured training helpful. The combination of app blocking (removing temptations), progressive session lengths (starting short and building up), and gentle reminders can support focus practice. However, FocusFit is a wellness tool for behavioral and educational purposes only—it does not diagnose or treat any medical condition. Always consult healthcare providers for medical advice about ADHD.

How does the App Blocking feature work?

FocusFit's App Blocking uses Apple's official Screen Time API to temporarily restrict access to distracting apps during training sessions. You choose which apps or categories to block (like social media, games, or entertainment). During a session, blocked apps display a shield screen. When your session ends, everything unlocks automatically. This creates a commitment device that helps you follow through on your intention to focus.

What does the AI coaching actually do?

FocusFit's AI analyzes your session history, consistency patterns, daily readiness assessments, and difficulty trends to provide personalized training. It automatically adjusts your training phases (advancing you when ready or suggesting easier sessions when needed), recommends optimal session lengths, identifies your most productive times, and provides coaching insights. The AI improves its recommendations as it learns from your patterns.

How long does it take to see results with FocusFit?

Most users notice improvements within 1-2 weeks of consistent daily practice. Initial gains often include better awareness of when you're distracted and improved session completion rates. By weeks 3-4, many users report longer natural focus periods even outside of training sessions. Like any skill training, results depend on consistency—users who complete daily sessions see faster improvement than sporadic users.

Is FocusFit a medical app?

No. FocusFit is a wellness tool for behavioral and educational purposes only. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical conditions including ADHD, anxiety, or other attention-related disorders. The heart rate monitoring feature is for behavioral awareness, not medical diagnosis. Always consult qualified healthcare providers for medical advice.

Is my data private and secure with FocusFit?

Yes, privacy is a core design principle. Health data from Apple Watch (like heart rate) stays on your device and is never uploaded to our servers. FocusFit uses a local-first architecture with optional cloud backup via Firebase for syncing across devices. We don't sell your data, and we don't have access to your personal content, messages, or browsing history.

Can I cancel my FocusFit subscription anytime?

Yes. FocusFit offers a 14-day free trial so you can experience the full training system before committing. After that, you can manage or cancel your subscription anytime through your Apple ID under Settings > Subscriptions. There are no cancellation fees, hidden charges, or contracts. Your subscription simply won't renew at the next billing cycle.
