undistract: stay focused

About

Undistract — Face-Down Focus Timer Your phone is the biggest obstacle between you and deep work. Undistract flips the script — literally. The rule is simple: place your phone face-down and it starts working for your focus instead of against it. Lift it before your session ends, and you get a 5-second grace period to put it back — after that, the session breaks. No hidden tracking, no shame, just a clear, physical commitment device that turns discipline into a habit. HOW IT WORKS Set your focus duration, flip your phone face-down, and begin. Undistract uses motion sensing to detect when you lift your phone mid-session. A gentle vibration and a 5-second countdown give you a chance to put it back down before the session resets — enough to handle a genuine emergency, not enough to doomscroll "just for a second." FEATURES Face-down detection using CoreMotion — no cameras, no permissions beyond motion 5-second grace period before a session counts as broken Clean, distraction-free session screen Session history synced privately across your devices via iCloud Sign in with Apple — no accounts, no passwords, no data collection Optional tip jar if Undistract earns its place on your home screen WHY UNDISTRACT Most focus apps ask you to trust yourself. Undistract doesn't ask — it makes the distraction physically inconvenient to reach. That small friction is often all it takes to finish the thing you sat down to do. No ads. No subscriptions. No leaderboards turning focus into a competition. Just you, your work, and a phone that's finally on your side.
