About

YuFocus is a minimalist productivity app that helps individuals stay focused, motivated, and balanced during work or study. It combines smart focus timers, motivational quotes, background music, a customizable focus wall, and mini-games for breaks to create an engaging and effective study/work experience.

YuFocus is designed for the device owner only. It is not intended for parental supervision or enterprise device management.

Features

• ⏱ Timers – Focus sessions with Pomodoro, short, long, or custom durations.
• 🎶 Sounds & Music – Relaxing audio (lo-fi, nature, ambient, rain, coffee shop, etc.) to enhance focus.
• ✨ Motivational Quotes – Hundreds of short, inspiring lines shown daily and during sessions.
• 🖼 Custom Focus Wall – Add personal images or colors to create a motivating study/work background.
• 🎮 Mini-games for Breaks – Short, calming activities like bubble pop, memory match, or ripple tap to refresh the mind.
• 📊 Progress Tracking – See completed sessions and cycles (4 sessions = 1 cycle).
• 🔔 Notifications – Gentle reminders when sessions start or end, and when breaks finish.
• 🔒 Optional Distraction Blocking – With user consent, YuFocus can use Apple’s Screen Time APIs to temporarily block distracting apps/categories during a focus session.

How We Use Apple’s Screen Time APIs

YuFocus optionally uses Apple’s FamilyControls and ManagedSettings APIs to help reduce distractions:

• The user picks which apps/categories to block.
• YuFocus applies temporary shields during a session.
• All controls are user-initiated, time-boxed, and reversible.

Blocking is optional — users can run focus sessions without enabling it.
