Close your phone.
Start focusing.

Seal open on iPhone Duo: the one thing on the left page, today's focus and Close to begin on the right. iPhone Duo closed, its outer screen counting down a 50-minute seal.

How it works

One rule: keep it shut.

  1. Home: the one thing is Finish the pitch deck, 50 minutes selected.

    Name it

    Pick the one thing.

    Write what you're working on and choose 25 or 50 minutes.

  2. An active seal: 32 minutes left of 50, back at 9:58 PM.

    Seal it

    Close it, or turn it over.

    The seal presses in with a click you can feel. The screen shows the time left and when you'll be back.

  3. Picked up early: put it back down within 7 seconds and nothing is lost.

    Hold it

    Opened early? 10 seconds.

    Your phone counts them down like a heartbeat. Put it back and the seal holds.

  4. Seal kept: 50 minutes, unbroken. Today 50 minutes, a 2-day streak.

    Keep it

    Seal kept.

    Every seal you keep fills in a day. Breaks are honest: you see how far you got.

The catch

Open it early,
and the seal breaks.

That's the whole trick. Not another timer you swipe away: closing the phone is the start button, and opening it is a choice you feel in your hand.

Seal on the iPhone Duo's inner screen: Your phone has a lid now. Use it.

Made for iPhone Duo

Your phone has a lid now.

  • The hinge is the button. Close it to seal. Open it to break.
  • Two pages inside. Every screen is laid out like a book on the inner display.
  • The outer screen keeps time. Minutes left and when you'll be back, at a glance.
  • Every other iPhone works too. Lay it face down and the same rules apply.
The Ledger: 304 hours sealed over 12 months, shown as a calendar of kept days.

The Ledger

A year of focus, at a glance.

Only kept seals count. See every month as a calendar, your longest streak, your average seal and the hours you focus best.

Details

Strict where it matters.
Kind where it should be.

Calls still ring

Answering a call never breaks a seal. When it ends, you get 10 seconds to close up again.

Two passes a week

Need your phone? A pass gives you 3 minutes with it open, and the seal stays whole. New passes every Monday.

Feels alive

Sounds and haptics for every moment: the press, the warning, the break, the finish.

On your Lock Screen

Live Activity, Dynamic Island, widgets, a Control Center button and Siri. Start a seal without hunting for the app.

Private by design

No account, no ads, no tracking. Your sessions never leave your iPhone.

Breaks built in

After a kept seal, take a short break. A soft bell tells you when it's time to go again.
