Focus without your parents breathing down your neck
A focus timer that actually respects your privacy. No spyware. No reporting. Your parents can't see anything unless YOU decide to share it.
Key thing: FocusWing is 100% free for you to use. If your parents want to see your focus minutes, they can pay for parent access—but they only see what you choose to share. You're in control.
iPhone and Android. No credit card. No catches.
This isn't like those other apps
We don't snitch
Your parents get ZERO access to your phone. No screenshots, no app usage, no browsing history. Unlike every other "focus" app out there.
No blocking = no drama
We don't block apps or lock your phone. You stay in control. When you leave the app, the timer just pauses. Simple.
Actually helps you focus
Ever realize 2 hours passed and you've done nothing? This keeps you honest. You either focus or the timer stops.
Wait, it's actually free? What's the catch?
No catch. The timer and focus tracking is always free. Your parents can optionally pay $4.99/week if they want to see your progress.
You use it free forever
Download, set timers, track focus time. All features. Zero cost. No ads.
You control what they see
If your parents pay for parent access, you still choose what (if anything) to share. They can't demand access.
No surveillance, ever
We literally cannot show your parents your apps, messages, or activity. Our technology doesn't allow it. Privacy built in.
How it works (in 30 seconds)
Literally just three steps. Takes less time than checking TikTok.
Set your intention
Open the app, type what you're gonna work on ("math homework," "study for bio test"), pick 20 or 30 minutes.
Stay in the app
Keep FocusWing open while you work. Check a text? The timer pauses. No penalty, but no fake focus time either.
Earn real focus time
When you're done, you get credit for actual focused minutes. Share it with your parents if you want. Or don't.
Teens actually like this. Weird, right?
"My mom stopped asking me if I did my homework because she can see I actually focused for 45 minutes. Less nagging = better relationship."
"Way better than those apps that lock your phone. I can still check notifications, I just don't get fake credit for focusing."
"I thought it was gonna be spyware but it's actually just a timer. My parents don't see anything unless I show them."
Your privacy matters
No app tracking
No message reading
No browsing history
No location tracking
FocusWing only tracks whether you stayed in the app. That's it.
Sharing is 100% your choice
You don't have to share anything with your parents. FocusWing works fine as just a personal focus timer.
But if you want to share — maybe to build trust, or to prove you're putting in the work — you're in control:
- You generate the share code — no one else can
- You pick exactly what to share (just minutes? streaks? session details?)
- Share codes expire after 7 days automatically
- You can revoke access anytime
Why even use this?
Prove what you can do
Your parents might assume you can't focus. This gives you real numbers to prove otherwise.
Get less nagging
If your parent can see you're building focus habits, they might back off. FocusWing proves you're doing the work.
Actually get things done
20 minutes of real focus beats 2 hours of half-distracted struggle. You might finish faster than you thought.
Build a real skill
Phones are designed to distract you. Learning to focus anyway puts you ahead of most people.
You probably have questions
What can my parents actually see?
Only the total minutes you earned. Not what apps you used, not what you worked on, not when you were online. Just a number.
Do I have to share my focus time with them?
Nope. You control sharing. Most teens share it because it gets their parents off their back, but it's 100% your choice.
What if I need to check something real quick?
Just switch apps. The timer pauses automatically. No penalties, no notifications to your parents. When you come back, resume the session.
Can my parents force me to use this?
Technically they can make you install it, but they can't force you to actually focus. That's on you. The app just tracks real attention.
Does it kill my battery?
Nah. It runs in the background but uses way less battery than TikTok or Instagram. Like, less than 2% per hour.
Why is it free for me but not my parents?
We think teens should have tools to focus without barriers. Parents who want to track progress pay for that convenience. You get the core app free because you shouldn't need a credit card to build good habits.
What if my parents don't pay? Can I still use it?
Absolutely. You get the full app either way. You just won't have the option to share your focus time with them. Most teens use it independently anyway.
Can my parents make me share my progress?
Nope. Sharing is entirely up to you. The app has no "parent override" feature. If they want that level of control, they need a different app (but good luck finding one that doesn't make you hate them).
Do I need my parent's credit card to sign up?
No. Download from the App Store or Google Play. No payment info required on your end. Ever.
