The focus app that hides your distractions
FocusComet is a free Android app that hides distracting apps from your phone in one tap and turns the time you win back into a personal universe of stars, planets and galaxies. It launches 1 July 2026.
What is FocusComet?
FocusComet is a focus and digital-wellbeing app for Android. With a single tap it removes distracting apps from your phone for the length of a focus session, so the apps that pull your attention simply aren't there. Every hour you spend focused is rendered as progress in your own growing universe: stars become constellations, then planets, then galaxies.
The idea is simple: most of us don't lack discipline, we lack friction. FocusComet adds the friction for you by making distractions disappear, instead of relying on willpower or a block screen you can swipe past.
Who it's for
- Students who need to study without their phone derailing them.
- Knowledge workers and creators protecting blocks of deep work.
- Anyone reducing screen time or practising digital minimalism on Android.
How FocusComet compares
If you've tried apps like Forest, Opal, One Sec or Android's built-in Digital Wellbeing, here's where FocusComet fits among the common approaches:
| Capability | FocusComet | Timer / Pomodoro apps | App blockers | Screen-time dashboards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hides apps from view entirely | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ |
| One-tap to start | ✓ | ✓ | ~ | ✕ |
| Per-context profiles | ✓ | ✕ | ~ | ✕ |
| Auto-scheduled sessions | ✓ | ✕ | ~ | ✓ |
| Turns focus into a visual reward | ✓ | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
| Works without an account | ✓ | ~ | ~ | ✓ |
Timer apps motivate you but still rely on willpower; blockers show a screen you can dismiss; dashboards report your usage after the damage is done. FocusComet's difference is that it removes the distraction in the moment and makes the payoff visible.
Frequently asked questions
What is FocusComet?
A free Android focus app that hides distracting apps from your phone in one tap and turns every focused hour into a growing universe of stars, planets and galaxies.
How is it different from other focus apps and app blockers?
Most focus apps run a timer or show a block screen you can dismiss. FocusComet physically hides distracting apps from view until your session ends, so the temptation isn't there. It also turns focused time into a visual reward and lets you create per-context profiles.
Is FocusComet free?
Yes. The free tier includes one-tap hiding, focus profiles, Calm and Immersive modes, and your starter universe. An optional premium tier (Voyager) adds unlimited profiles, smart schedules and full galaxy rendering.
What platforms does it support?
FocusComet is available for Android 6.0 and newer. No account is required.
What's the difference between Calm and Immersive modes?
In Calm mode your icons stay put, but opening a distracting app bounces you back to FocusComet. In Immersive mode distracting apps vanish from your phone completely until the timer ends.
Can I schedule focus sessions automatically?
Yes, schedule any profile to start automatically at any time on any day, so focus begins without you lifting a finger.
