Most blockers only protect your phone—so you cheat on your laptop. Focussive coordinates focus sessions simultaneously across Android and Chrome, closing the escape routes with research-backed habit architecture.
A brief demonstration showing real-time mobile and Chrome extension synchronization, custom block rules, and the Driving Forces system.

Every session presents an unobtrusive visual timer with progress pacing, active intentions, and persistent background status.
Willpower alone is fragile. Focussive asks you to define your underlying motivations before starting, transforming blunt blocking into purposeful self-regulation.
When you instinctively tap a blocked application, Focussive gently intercepts the reflex with a mindful pause instead of a jarring error.

Focussive was built around peer-reviewed principles of attention management and habit formation, addressing the true psychological root causes of distraction.
Research by Dr. Gloria Mark and Dr. Sophie Leroy proves that switching to another screen leaves lingering attention residue, taking up to 23 minutes to regain deep focus. Focussive synchronizes all devices simultaneously to eliminate cross-device leaks.
Leroy (2009) • Mark (2014)Psychologist Peter Gollwitzer demonstrated that pre-committing to specific motivations and conditional plans significantly increases goal adherence. Focussive's "Driving Forces" activate deliberate agency when impulse strikes.
Gollwitzer et al.Impulsive screen pickups are automatic System 1 reflexes. Introducing purposeful, non-punitive friction pauses the subconscious impulse and re-engages deliberate prefrontal executive control (System 2).
