What Fowo does

Fowo helps you reclaim attention in two ways. Use Focus Shield to block the apps that pull you in. Or set a Mission with a daily focus target and build it with the Focus Timer. Use one or both.

  1. 1
    Focus Shield

    Block distracting apps always, on a schedule, or after a daily limit. No Mission required.

  2. 2
    Mission Mode

    Set a goal and a daily focus target. Locked sessions keep you honest.

  3. 3
    Focus Timer

    Clean countdowns that stand alone or count toward your Mission.

The three modes

One goal: less distraction, more follow-through.

Mission Mode

Name your goal, set a daily focus target, and run locked sessions that can’t be stopped mid-run.

Commitment

Open a distraction before today’s target is done and Fowo stops you with your own reason and progress.

Focus Shield

Pick the apps that derail you and block them outright, on a schedule, or after a daily limit.

Focus Timer

Clean countdown sessions that stand alone or count toward a Mission. Start in one tap.

Blocking runs locally on your device. One Accessibility permission powers Mission Commitment and Focus Shield, listed in system settings as Fowo. No screen content is read, stored, or transmitted. Emergency access is always available with a friction gate.

FAQ

How is Fowo different from a normal app blocker?

Focus Shield is a full blocker with schedules, caps, and Emergency Access. You can also add Mission Mode: a daily focus target you build with the timer, so blocking protects a goal instead of being the only tool.

Can I use Focus Shield without a Mission?

Yes. Focus Shield works on its own. Mission Mode is optional if you want a daily focus target.

What is Mission Mode?

You set a goal and a daily focus target. Focus sessions are locked once started, and Commitment can intervene when you open distraction apps before today’s target is done.

Why does Accessibility say “Fowo”?

One Accessibility service powers both Mission Commitment and Focus Shield. In Android Settings it appears as Fowo. Enable that entry to turn interventions on.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, when eligible. Google Play shows the trial on the purchase sheet. After the trial, the subscription renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.

What about emergencies?

Emergency Access is always available. It requires a cooldown and a hold-to-confirm action: enough friction to stop impulse, not enough to trap you.

Is my data private?

Yes. Blocking and Mission progress run on your device. No screen content is sent to external servers. See the Privacy Policy for third-party services like Google Play Billing and AdMob.

Does it work without internet?

Core blocking, Mission focus, and the timer work offline. Internet is only needed for subscription management.
