Block apps you choose
Pick apps and categories with Apple's Screen Time picker. Beacon shields them during focus—without reading your passwords or app contents.
Focus with your people
Block distracting apps, run timed focus sessions, and stay accountable with friends in Circles.
Distractions win when you focus alone
Your phone is designed to pull you back in. Beacon uses Apple Screen Time to block the apps you choose—and Circles keep you honest with the people who matter.
Everything you need to focus
Built for iOS with Screen Time, social accountability, and streaks that keep you coming back.
Circles & invite codes
Create small groups (up to 10 people) and join with a 6-character invite code. Share focus activity with your circle.
Beacons
Send a Beacon to a friend in your Circle so their apps are blocked for the same session window—focus together, even apart.
Scheduled sessions
Set recurring or one-off focus windows. Share schedule invites with circle members—blocks enforce even when the app is closed.
Monk Mode
Open-ended solo focus with optional breaks, or challenge a friend head-to-head with no breaks—last one standing wins.
Streaks & stats
Build a daily focus streak shown on Home. Track weekly minutes, completed sessions, and leaderboard stats with your circle.
