Focus Tree: Cultivating Screen Wellness 🌳
Ever feel like your phone has a mind of its own, keeping you hooked when you should be focusing elsewhere? Enter Focus Tree, the shield against digital distractions. Let's explore the features this app brings to nurture attention:
Focus Sessions 🚀
Embark on focus sessions, ranging from 10 to 120 minutes, restricting phone usage. On iOS, internet access gets the silent treatment; on Android, an overlay takes center stage. Fail a session by exiting for more than 5 seconds or giving up. Soon, group focus sessions will join the party.
Time Tracker ⏰
Get real about screen time with the Time Tracker. See how much time users devote to their devices and watch progress unfold. Visualize daily focus achievements and reclaim lost time.
Wallet 💼
Manage funds securely with the self-custodial wallet, integrating biometric hardware for a seamless experience. The app is bridging the gap for those yet to dive into self-hosted wallets, making DeFi and self-sovereign finance accessible.
Gameplay & Community Gardens 🎮
Not just about productivity; the app is crafting an engaging ecosystem. Join digital spaces called Gardens, decorate with Tiles earned from focusing, and make it a group effort. Gardens become a canvas for shared creativity and collaboration.
Streaks, Leaderboards, and Focus Points 🏆
Earn rewards with Streaks for daily focus, pause or regain at convenience. Leaderboards (coming Q1 2024) pit community gardens against each other, fostering friendly competition. Accumulate non-transferable Focus Points based on streaks, focus duration, and tree level for unique rewards.
Water (= Stamina) 💧
Keep the tree hydrated by focusing. Water levels determine stamina; waiting a day or strengthening the tree replenishes it. A balanced system to earn points without a flood.
In the forest of digital well-being, Focus Tree stands tall, ready to help users reclaim attention and unlock a world of rewards.
Find Focus Tree on Lens Protocol @lens/focustree_app. Oh, and btw, they're planning to launch a dedicated Focus Tree garden for one @orbapp community 👀
