How it works

  1. Start a focus

    Pick a Pomodoro or the stopwatch. Your puppy walks in and hops onto the armchair.

  2. He naps, you focus

    He breathes, blinks and dozes by your side. Pet him and he wags his tail.

  3. Finish and get a gift

    Every focus you finish earns treats and a surprise from your puppy. Long sessions bring rarer gifts.

Gave up early? He gets grumpy.

You have 10 seconds to change your mind for free. After that he barks, sulks, turns his back on you and brings you trash instead of a gift.

Everything in one cozy app

A gift for every focus

Squeaky ducks, bones, plushies and dozens more, from one to three stars. Keep them in your collection, or trade them for treats at the little pet shop.

The gift screen: the puppy brought a squeaky duck after a 25-minute focus.

Five puppies, each with their own charm

Popcorn, Bean, Churro, Honey and Lupe. Each one moves, naps and gets grumpy in their own way. Pick a buddy, give them a nickname and invite more friends to your corner.

Decorate your little corner

Spend your treats on armchairs, lamps, rugs, wall art and plushies. Seasonal rooms too: Christmas, Halloween, Autumn, Valentine's, June Festival, Carnival and rainy days.

The home screen: a 25:00 timer above a mustard armchair in a room with plants.

Keep distracting apps away

Four modes, from Relax to Super strict. Strict and Allow List use Apple's Screen Time to block the apps you choose while you focus. Super strict fails the session if you leave the app for more than 10 seconds.

The focus modes: Super strict, Strict, Allow List and Relax.

Real sounds to help you focus

Rain, fireplace, waves, café, birds, brown noise and your puppy snoring softly. Mix them with a volume for each one, or save your own mix.

See how much you focused

A timeline of every focus, day by day, decorated with the stickers your puppy gives you. Stats for today, the week and all time, by label.

Missions, streaks and a 7-day challenge

Three daily and three weekly missions, a streak bone that grows every day, days off that protect your streak, and a gentle 7-day challenge with a special gift at the end.

The missions board with a 14-day streak and a day off saved.

Questions

Is Good Boy Focus free?

Yes. Focusing, the gifts, the missions, app blocking and the widgets are free. Good Boy Focus Plus is an optional purchase with extra perks.

Does it really block apps?

In Strict and Allow List modes, yes: the app uses Apple's Screen Time, and only blocks the apps you choose, only during a focus. In Relax there's no blocking, and in Super strict leaving the app for more than 10 seconds ends the session.

What happens if I give up?

In the first 10 seconds nothing happens. After that, your puppy gets grumpy, turns his back on you and brings you a piece of trash instead of a gift. He forgives you on the next focus.

Do I need an account?

No. Your sessions, gifts and room stay on your iPhone. You can export a backup in Settings › Your data.

Is there an Android or iPad version?

Not yet. Good Boy Focus is made for iPhone.

More answers on the Support page.

Never focus alone again.

Your puppy is already saving you a spot on the armchair.
