Focus app for Android
Block the feed. Breathe first.
Keep your focus.
LetsFocus puts a gap between the urge and the app. Block apps, websites, whole categories, or just YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, and keep everything else.
How it works
Most blockers slam a door. LetsFocus holds it for a moment, long enough to ask whether this is what you want to do right now.
Apps, websites, whole categories, a single keyword, or just the endless part of an app, like Shorts or Reels.
A hard block, a breathing pause before it opens, or a daily limit in minutes or opens. All the time, or on a schedule.
Tightening a rule is instant. Loosening one waits out a cool-down, so a weak moment can't undo a good decision.
Features
Everything you need to put the feed down, and nothing that gets in the way of the rest of your phone.
Breathing pause
A slow breath stands between you and the feed. Tap "Not now" and you're back on your home screen, and it doesn't count as an open.
Breathe inBreathe out
Your feed can wait.
Is this what you want to do right now?
Not now Open inShorts & Reels
Block YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels and keep the rest of the app: search, messages, subscriptions and your friends' posts.
Focus sessions
Start a timer or Pomodoro rounds with breaks, and everything on your lists stays blocked until you're done.
Block page
Write the block page in your own words, so what you see is a reminder from you, not a warning from an app.
Streaks & insights
Every finished session ends with "Held." and closes a ring for the day. Keep the week going.
And the rest
Separate lists for different parts of your day, like Work 9–5 or Night. Each one on or off, all the time or on its own schedule.
Turn a profile around: block every app except the ones you need, and keep browsers to the sites you list. Calls always work.
Weekly time windows for each profile, overnight ones included. Focus sessions work any time.
Loosening a rule waits 30 minutes, or 20, 15, 10 or 5. You choose. Tightening one is instant.
LetsFocus can't be removed on impulse. Switching protection off needs your password, or waits out a short cool-down.
Keep your settings behind a password. The app locks again 30 seconds after you leave it.
Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Edge, Brave, Opera, and the built-in browsers from most phone makers.
Every decision is made on your phone, so blocking keeps working without a connection.
Privacy
LetsFocus has no account, no ads and no trackers. Your lists, your history and your habits never leave the device. We couldn't see them if we wanted to.
Install it and start. There's nothing to sign up for.
No advertising, tracking or analytics code of any kind in the app.
Your lists, settings and stats live in the app's private storage, and nowhere else.
Remove the app and everything it stored goes with it.
Android's Accessibility service is how an app can tell which app is open and what's in your browser's address bar. LetsFocus needs exactly that to step in at the right moment. It looks at the app in front, the address bar in browsers and, in YouTube and Instagram, which screen you're on. It makes every decision on the phone and sends nothing anywhere.
Pricing
No subscription, no tiers, no features held back. One purchase through Google Play keeps LetsFocus working for good.

Google Play shows the price in your currency. If you don't unlock after the trial, blocking pauses and everything you set up stays put for when you do.
FAQ
No. There's no sign-up and no login. LetsFocus works as soon as you install it and finish the short setup.
It's how Android lets an app see which app is in front and what's in a browser's address bar. LetsFocus uses it only to spot what you've chosen to block, then show your block page, start a breathing pause or redirect you. Everything is decided on your phone, and nothing is sent anywhere. The privacy policy lists exactly what it reads.
Usage access, for screen time in Insights. Notifications, for the focus timer. Optionally, exact alarms and unrestricted battery use, so sessions end on time and Android doesn't stop the blocker in the background. Device admin is used only for uninstall protection, and only if you turn it on.
Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Edge, Brave and Opera, plus the built-in browsers from Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, OPPO, realme, vivo, Tecno, Infinix and others. In LetsFocus, Settings → Permissions → Browser check tells you whether your browser can be read. Links opened in a browser built into another app, such as a link tapped inside a social app, aren't covered yet.
Yes. All blocking happens on your phone. LetsFocus only goes online to reach Google Play when you buy or restore the unlock.
You'll get a heads-up a day before. When the trial ends, blocking and uninstall protection pause, and your lists and settings stay exactly as they are. Unlock once and everything starts working again.
Yes. Your purchase restores on any Android phone signed in to the same Google account. Your lists live on each phone and don't sync between devices yet.
If uninstall protection is on, turn it off first in Settings → Protection → Uninstall protection. That asks for your password, or waits out a short cool-down if you haven't set one. Then uninstall LetsFocus like any other app.
Not yet. LetsFocus runs on Android 8.0 and newer.
