Foqos

Physically blocks distracting apps and websites via NFC tags, QR codes, timers, or manual controls.

Foqos is a free and open-source app that physically blocks distracting apps and websites on iPhones. It solves the problem of digital distraction by requiring a physical action, such as scanning an NFC tag or QR code, to start or stop a blocking session. It targets individual consumers, including those with ADHD or anxiety, as well as developers and IT teams seeking a privacy-focused solution. Unlike paid alternatives, Foqos is free, open source, and does not collect any user data.
